Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

lmao, blocked for suggesting Democrats can be criticized

Vy posted These people are Democrats so when you complain about Democrats you are complaining about them. Or about Jerry nadler and nydia Velasquez who are both endorsing Mamdani. Is Mamdani lying about being a democrat?

two bears responds No, and Democrats are not above criticism. The distinction I'm drawing is between Democratic socialists, like Lander who you apparently like, and neoliberals. Understanding the party's internal politics and members ideological commitments is important if you care about its future and output

Lander is a soc dem too.

His staff are NYDSA, and dude was elected as a DSA candidate. Only publicly distanced himself on Oct 7th from the org, then acted as Mamdani's hypeman for the whole mayoral election.

afaict there's not a man alive today who HATES the NY Dem party machine more than Lander

Rival calls Cuomo a ‘sociopath;’ ex-gov attacks Mamdani’s ‘defund’ rhetoric in final weekend of NYC mayor’s race

The candidates barnstormed the city as the tight race heads into the homestretch.

A self-proclaimed “former fed” deliberately sharing AI-generated disinformation and blocking the ability to post comments underneath it is incredibly fishy! Hmm!

Oh I'm sorry, correction. You think 3rd graders *shouldn't* be taught about consent?

3rd grade? You think students should be taught about consent in third grade?

I skimmed it, and it's one of the reasons why I want you to tell me when you believe it is age appropriate for students to be taught about consent.

When do you think students should learn about consent?

two bears watching stuff @bearswatchingstuff.bsky.social · 1d

when the German Student Union and Goebbels started the practice of Nazi book burnings they attacked Magnus Hirshfeld's institute first.

Want to guess what Magnus field of study was?

imo the worst peppers are those new bland Jalapeno monocultures that are bred to have lower capsaicin levels

capitalists want to sell jalapenos to people that hate flavorful food; and make people that want jalapeno flavor in anything need to use an entire bushel instead of just one pepper

yeah, I'd call your 'strictness when using terms' a habit of making distinctions without a difference or tedious contrarianism
