I asked this question a long time ago and came to the conclusion that it’s all democracy until some minority groups win a few things then everything is rigged which justifies ripping it all apart to make sure white folks start on top again.

Happy Juneteenth. Here’s a very cool and beautiful statue from down the road in Galveston, of the Emancipation Proclamation being read. It sits outside the historic Ashton Villa, one of the large 19th century homes left on the island. 1/x

Texan right here. Juneteenth is a day that celebrates that people were kept in bondage for 2 years after the war because Texas dgaf about little things like human rights. And still we rise.

If a tornado outbreak killed a few hundred people, it would be remembered as a national tragedy. When a heat wave kills a few hundred people, it's the butt of countless jokes. It's a mistake to shrug off the deadly threat of extreme heat.

“for a host of reasons, it is stressful to be nonwhite in America” says it all to me and shows that this is less about who gets to sleep more and more about ongoing inequality in the worlds oldest democracy.

If you are going to have open sex at a work party, it seems like you can do better than a Taco Bell after dark. All of this is just gross.

Yes. Same for where I live in Houston. Plus a huge international community lots of different cultures and different ways of living. These things are almost never depicted when talking about the south.

Honestly, if there was more knowledge about what the south is really like, who lives there, and what happens to lots of groups who live there, it would reshape what people mean when they talk about America. Said from a native Texan tired of hearing about how we all agree with our governor.

People who paid to speak to an AI girlfriend modeled after a 23-yr-old influencer are distraught because the service they paid for no longer works. It appears the service stopped working after the CEO was arrested for trying to set his apartment on fire

Still needs to be enforced. It means many existing members of congress and trump shouldn’t hold office again. Period.

This is a prime example of believing articles over people. I’m pretty sure she is referencing the 4 hour workweek book which describes 0 peoples lives that I actually know. Plus. That was popular something like 15 years ago so she is way off about what folks out here are actually doing.

Yea. The problem is getting out antiquated systems to change….Systems that are controlled by politicians who only care about rousing their base for the next election.
