Local cops are not on the side of Democratic politicians or under their actual control. People refuse to understand this too even though we've been making this point for decades.

Damn this dude is dropping gems. Whole lotta dems/libs need to hear how their plight is that of enslaved people and democrats need humanist value to restore the US; not market/neoliberal values that shift capital away from working people.

I always interpreted it as them giving it to the US for electing a Black president, like that was the final hurdle to defeat racism in America. Good Jorb guys you did it.

And then he turned out to be a neolib, with with Rizz.

I love the fact the at OrangeAssMouth will die knowing in his tiny tiny little brain and ego that he will never be a fraction the man Barack Obama is. He really love/hates that mfr. He's obviously screamed that line at.

Funny how he refers to rules as technicalities.

BARTIROMO: On your point about the Nobel Peace Prize, do you think maybe the reason Trump won't get it is because you had to get the application in before Jan. 31, and that was only 11 days into his term?

SCALISE: Look, they can play technicalities. They gave it to Obama for just getting elected.

Once you are "trapped". Tied to the land (agriculture/job/mortgage) you will have to eventually submit to a dominance hierarchy (king/boss/bank) because you can not leave to freer places as hunter/gathers did/do.

OhGeez @ohgeez.bsky.social · 11h

He is saying how land hierarchies trap people in and they are talking about geography and agricullture.

But sitting in the suburbs i think about the how we are no different. Mortgages and jobs that monopolize your time are modern hierarchies that trap ppl... 1/2

Heard dude on a humanist podcast.

Societal collapse isnt great but it's really an elite collapse. Seems like the people continue living w/o the rich hoarding so much of the wealth created. An increase in local governance and economy.

It has happened and usually to a Black person

In 1857, Thomas Howland became Providence, RI's first Black elected official.

Later that year, he decided to emigrate to Liberia with his wife & daughter after the Dred Scott case denied Black people protections of U.S. citizenship. He was denied a passport.

Thomas Howland, 1856
John Blanchard

Portrait of a distringuished Black man from the 19th centrure wearing fine clothes, including high collar and tie of the day.
Museum Text:
Thomas Howland, the subject of this unusually expressive portrait, was a dock worker in Providence, Rhode lsland, In 1857 he became the city's first Black elected oficial when he was amed warden of its Third Ward. However, that same year he decided to emigrate to Liberia with his wite and daughter, perhaps in response to the recent Supreme Court decision in the Dred Scott case that denied African Americans the protections of U.S. citizenship. Because of this decision, Howland's application for a passport was denied, despite his status as a free man with the right to vote in his home state (he did eventually make it to Liberia). Howland's confident posture echoes that of the earlier Portrait of a Gentleman shown nearby, the fashionable attire of both sitters serving to reinforce thelir self-possession.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

The fact that so many US citizens have no idea Bad Bunny is also a US citizen (and don't believe he can be a US citizen) tells you that when they say "citizen," they really just mean white.
