Researchers estimate that the life expectancy for people forced to work in cane fields was mid 20s.
They were slaughterhouses. Being sent to one was functionally a death sentence.

Mortality rates were so high on sugar plantations during slavery that slaveholders used to coerce enslaved people working other crops like cotton with threats to sell them or their loved ones to sugar plantations.
That’s where the term “sold down the river” came from.

We’ve heard about body cameras before. They didn’t stop police brutality, and they’re not going to stop ICE’s terror. To federal Democrats: let’s be bold for once and fight to ABOLISH ICE.

I caught it in Jan of 2020 because of where I worked with traffic from overseas.
I used to find a lot of pleasure and relaxation in singing for fun. I can no longer sing as I used to. I lost range, tone, and my ability to control pitch.
I didn't lose my ear, so all I hear is how bad I sound now.

If you haven't been consistently masking since 2020, you have absolutely been involved in the chain of transmission that disabled and killed people.

FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.

Layers:
1. What ICE/CBP is doing isn't making us safer.
2. When ICE/CBP does their work "the right way," it ALSO doesn't make us safer.
3. Human beings deserve respect and care no matter their status, language, or background. If "leaders" can't say that, everyday people can lead by shouting it.

The replies to this suggest absolutely anything but the fact that COVID has ravaged everyone's nervous systems, impairing judgment, concentration, reaction time, and other things that are very important to driving safely. Let alone everything else it does to our bodies.

The thing about pedestrian safety post 2020 is that its one of the few areas that's massively worse than the norms that existed pre-covid, its bourne out clearly in the numbers, and the only way to solve it is traffic enforcement, sorry

I admit to being confused by some of the discourse re: protest on here. Community defense and mutual aid can in fact be forms of protest.
Definition of protest is: "a statement or action expressing disapproval of or objection to something."
Community defense is an objection to something, for ex.

To lift the U.S. out of the Great Depression, FDR thought the country needed more than roads and bridges and schools and hospitals.
It needed art.
So he built an art gallery and scattered it across the country — in everybody’s local post office.

The U.S. Postal Service is home to thousands of historic works of art in post offices nationwide. Hundreds have been lost, sold or destroyed.
