this wasn't controversial. it was empowering, it built empathy, it was full of love.
it's excruciating to look at then and look at now and wonder why and wonder how.
I was 17 that year, a hippie who paid attention. I couldn't vote. Nixon won, dirty tricks. kinda been downhill ever since.

In this section, "PRISONERS," Snyder's brilliant book makes the case that all for profit imprisonment is wrong. I could not agree more.

"...money should not be made by detaining human bodies. When the government pays companies to imprison, it creates a lobby for locking people up. Private prisons, private jails, private detention centers, and private concentration camps should all be banned."

The General Strike The General strike -the people united shall never be stopped. If we strike together we can make true real change. Sign the strike card today.

I worked the election on Tuesday, been recovering ever since. Plus there's a new war and it kinda took the wind out of my sails for a minute there. #SaveDemocracy

Thank you for responding. I still cannot sign up because even if I fill in every field (I was not going to share my phone number), when I hit submit the location goes away.
Anyhow i know where it's at now. And the time, and I'm hoping to make it!
wondering if it's a software glitch or my browser.

As the school principal my dad had to run those atom bomb drills. He would say over the school speaker pull your desk chair back, lean forward as far as you can and put your head between your knees. Then as a quiet aside he would say and while you're down there kiss your ass goodbye.

I'm trying to get to the protest at UNC in Chapel Hill, but the sign up page doesn't work, I can hardly find any information and wonder if it's even going to be happening?

bob 's your bite the twist and he 's going postal are written on a whiteboard Alt: bob 's your bite the twist and he 's going postal are written on a whiteboard krasnov is desperately trying to keep #Epstein out of the news while hanging on to power. Jeez it's going to just keep on being this wild ride of fear and loathing for the foreseeable future. and now he's throwing a fucking war. all the time the American taxpayers are being impoverished by this depraved predator's MOODS.

no guarantee he won't aim them at California, or Minneapolis.
I grew up at a time when kindergarteners had to do drills where we folded ourselves under our desks, put our heads down, and locked our little fingers over our necks.

I'm way more scared now.
