On July 28, 1917, W. E. B. Du Bois and the NAACP organized a silent march.

10,000 people dressed in white, including children, walked down NYC’s Fifth Avenue to protest the massacre of African Americans in East St. Louis, IL, as well as recent lynchings in Waco, TX, and Memphis, TN.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

People get weird about mobility devices — as though different devices are for different *kinds of people* rather than for different uses.

You realize e-bikes are a massive accessibility gamechanger for disabled or older people? You realize that it doesn't make you lazy to want to get to work faster and less sweaty?

It really annoys me that the moral panic over e-bikes obscures the incredible impact they have had for disabled people.
This. For the disabled they are a vital tool, and without mine, I am housebound. The inherent ableism infuriates me, especially since I am a careful rider. In every incident I have been in, and there are very few, I was the victim not the cause. Every time.

I am struggling to think of any country this describes that doesn’t *also* let homeless people die on the street.
I've been to some countries where people live under military rule or autocracy. And without fail, one of the questions I get when they ask about life in the U.S. is whether it's true that Americans just let homeless people die on the street.
During freezing temperatures in Port Arthur, Texas, a 61-year-old homeless man was found dead in his wheelchair outside a convenience store.

He was wearing a hospital gown and no shoes. Authorities say he had been released from a hospital the previous day.

This is a diseased society.

Cmon now guys. If any Dem says anything besides shut down until this is all gone then there's no need for federal government at all. These are concentration camps. If you're too scared to say so then you're part of the problem.
