I have a 4 month old and the wh*te tr*sh dickheads in my town were setting off fireworks until 1:30 AM last night. They're "illegal" here but no pigs will ever enforce that law.

I voted third party last time because I could not stomach a vote for Biden but I'll just hold my nose this time. The stakes have really ramped up too much. I really hate that these fuckers have forced the country into this scenario.

Reminder that Aaron Swartz was facing 35 years in prison and financial devastation for trying to programmatically download and open the contents of JSTOR, which led to him taking his own life.
But OpenAI is going to scrape all of academia and make billions by plagiarizing it.

RIP the Gaza aid pier. It didn't last long, it didn't accomplish anything, and it was always just a PR stunt to pull attention away from the government's support of a genocide, but at least it cost more money than the federal government spends on addiction treatment programs

Cops are being sent to attack students because they're threatening to expose the whole system.
They threaten to show how colleges are hedge funds and our government is an arms dealer.
They threaten to expose a system that puts profit over life itself.

When you combine this with the push to end birthright citizenship and start mass deportations it's hard not to see what they're actually up to. It's not about a "redundant" effort to ban non-citizens from voting as much as an effort to redefine who is a "non-citizen"

They're calling riot cops, expelling kids, and restricting free speech.

His actions reveal the extreme violence of evictions, our for-profit housing system, and capitalism as a whole.

Oh that’s easy, conservatives see the government as the primary obstacle to raising their children. They don’t want them to get any “crazy ideas” from school or society, and they believe that having a manual labor job at 14 would build character because they are, pretty universally, bad parents.
