Let us have the courage to go on being dangerous people.

People shouldn't study rip off degrees like History, all you do is get to explore the towering strength of collective action towards freedom, and how is that going to help you slog away at a job you hate, working for vicious idiots until you die?

In 1989, the Supreme Court decisively struck down such provisions on constitutional grounds in Texas v. Johnson.

In this 1971 photo, anti-war demonstrators burn a U.S. flag atop a pole after marching to the State House in Boston in a protest of American involvement in Indochina. A few years earlier in 1969, the Supreme Court in Street v. New York sidestepped whether the First Amendment protected flag-burning, but overturned the conviction of a New York man under a law that banned both flag-burning and contemptuous speech about the flag. Years later, the Court found that the First Amendment protected flag burning as a form of symbolic speech. (AP Photo)

really enjoying all the people trying to explain the bible to the pope today

Pope Leo XIV
Today, more than ever, we must return to the heart, the center of feeling and emotion, the locus of freedom. Though it includes reason, the heart transcends and transforms it. Only by returning to the heart can we undergo a true ecological conversion that transforms our personal

I reject this whole heartedly. What you fail to see Mr Pope, the Bible says

I still want to do this for teachers and librarians.

Big salary, Senator-level benefits, and massive sign-on bonus, on top of wiping out student debt.

Double the staff numbers: support staff as well as educators, including nurses and cafeterias.

Act like it's a matter of national security.

I'm kind of bummed not to be watching a few of the new and upcoming things on Disney and Hulu, but Britbox has a whole section called The House of James Norton, and I think I'm going to be okay.

Local food is often more available (and frequently less expensive!) than you might think.

Ask your local librarian about nearby food production, and check Local Harvest for food made near you.

An article in People Magazine that quotes Illinois governor Pritzkeras saying DHS raids are about "sewing" (to bind with needle and thread) fear and intimidation, instead of the homophone "sowing" (to lay seeds in a row or field).

I am begging us to please start including assets and salary, including benefits and retirement plans, as part of our determination of "working class."

A public librarian making minimum wage for 20-37.5 hours a week is not "middle class" simply because they have a Master's degree.

Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social · 7d

I know people on here are scandalized that someone might classify a public school teacher as "working class" because she might have a masters or even PhD in education but can we agree it's at least as weird to call the guy who owns the local Wendy's franchise "working class" because he has a GED?

love&peace, heidi 🦋 @heidichronicles.net · 7d

Public school and university Librarians make less than the teachers, and often are classified as support staff in the same category as janitors (who are also often paid more).

Can we please start seeing librarians—who hold at least one Master's degree—as working class?

What is a “non-international armed conflict,” if I may ask?

Sounds like doublespeak for a civil war.
