TIL that the New Wave band DEVO was formed in response to the Kent State shootings. In 1970, co-founders Gerald Casale and Bob Lewis got serious about their idea of the "de-evolution" of the human race after Casale's friends Jeffrey Miller & Allison Krause were killed by OH national guards.

I've been on the other site heavily this morning to follow the updates on Hurricane Beryl and man, despite what some say about the state of that place now, there's still far more Caribbean people on there posting live updates than I've found on here.

You could also call up your US rep and demand they join AOC in this move for impeachment. Can't pass the R House, but they HAVE to use their bully pulpit and rally the public. www.nydailynews.com/2024/07/01/a...

Mississippi is the poorest state in the US.

Even though the state gets federal welfare funds, it is difficult to get welfare.

The money was all getting stolen, and they got away with it.

Now the journalists who exposed the story are facing a lawsuit and jail.

continue to think that white columnists are missing a big and fucking important part of the story of this election (and continue to be uncomfortable commenting about it because black and brown people are doing it better)

I remember having these convos in 2004 also and noting even then that options were limited. Also as a visa holder but not a citizen in other countries people have even less power to affect change so I’d rather stay here.

I’ve seen a lot of “X won’t solve the problem, Y will” and with respect, nothing we individually can do will solve the problem, which is why the problem is not solved. The thing we can do is to solve problems together.

I understand the pull of doomerism but I'll also point out that "red-state" organizers and activists have been living under, and resisting/rebuking, many and various forms of oppression for a long time and should be considered leaders in this moment. Like I said back in 2017:

No, we are in this mess because in 1972 the Christofascist arm of the Southern Baptists planned out a 50-year tactical map to seize the country and the rest of the country called everyone who tried to call attention to it "navel gazers" and sneered at their "elaborate fantasies".
