Pinned toot
I swear to Gawd, some of the toots on here. I might seriously open a store that sells mugs and shirt with my faves. Starting with this one. @jacethechicken a month later and I am STILL laughing at this one.

Land reform is my Exhibit B -- coops being Exhibit A -- of what happens when you attempt to introduce radical economic changes without the commensurate radical political transformation.

@Antanicus
My point is that the lion's share of cooperatives in the world would not describe themselves this way. I believe the majority of the world's cooperatives are, indeed, capitalist and pro-capitalist. I don't have data at hand, but I welcome it and am enjoying this debate immensely.

pdxpol, one Black public servant's perspective
Here's a five minute speech from the Portland Fire Chief on last night's chaos here in the city. I'm still processing this and I'm not even totally sure what it means but it's a powerful statement from someone who has led a life of dedication to public safety and also has had to reconcile that with her lived experience as a Black woman in America.

from LA to new york to seattle it’s been truly incredible to see every “liberal mayor” of every deep-blue city give people exactly two days of solemn reflection and then turn around and beat them with nightsticks, withhold medical care, and arrest them for going out after 5

historical systemic anti-black violence
@kavbojka When black folks retreat to build communities in peace, white supremacists invade to massacre, dismantle, and/or bomb what was built.
But then when black folks try to integrate, local and state governments start in with relentless obnoxious environmental racism, militarized police occupation, mass incarceration, and intentional withdrawal of resources needed to thrive (school funding, access to food, fair employment). This country has never stopped being genocidal towards black and indigenous people.
So, no justice no peace.

historical systemic anti-black violence
@kavbojka It's fucked up, because black folks have had to completely start over from less than nothing every other decade because of the virulence of anti-black systemic racism.
White soldiers dismantled black farming communes after the revolutionary war. White (Union!) soldiers invaded and dismantled black farming communes after the civil war. Black communes were commonly attacked and dismantled by white supremacists during the era of the Greenwood Massacre. Black communes were bombed for 'noise complaints' with MOVE in the 80s.
My first instinct when I see protests over another man felled by police or their deputized partners is that black people should retreat and do our own thing but then I remember the MOVE siege https://youtu.be/qNVhow85mQs

So, like, I don't know *what* we can do while this country exists.

I know I've posted variations on this a lot over the years here but it's very important we keep reminding each other that whiteness is a white people problem and we all have a responsibility to sort that

@TishJames @NewYorkStateAG Withdraw your appeal of Judge Shick's 4/27 order releasing Anthony Bottom. If you had not appealed/blocked his release, Mr. Bottom wouldn't have contracted COVID & wouldn't be seriously ill now. Withdraw the appeal so he can go home, recover & stay safe

hey if you or anyone you know is looking for an experienced, self-taught Go or Python developer with a background in Physics or security, I'm your gal!
my professional experience is a little limited, but only due to not being given the chance. i am a very fast learner with a wide array of knowledge already, willing to learn anything to fit into any role
my most recent projects include writing a gopher (yes, that pre-HTTP protocol) server, my own fixed-size LRU hashmap implementation from scratch, and the beginnings of an IRC server. all in Go
boosts are very much appreciated ❤️

If it's one thing the pandemic has made abundantly clear is that the greatest threat to the US continues to be white Americans.
That social group has shown time and time again that they simply do not care about the national good and only deploy their waning political privilege to make the country worse for everyone including themselves, to satisfy whatever fleeting feeing the group holds at the time.
White people are and always have been the reason the country cannot move forward.
If a non-black person is gonna sit in front of me and get more mad about antiblackness than me then they should at least have the decency to serve me a frosty beverage of my choosing first. 🤔Maybe some chips and dip too...I'll be needing actual nourishment. That outrage is far too low in calories.
