    The more things change, the more some want to turn back the clock a century or more....

    Long twitter thread, spoilered but worth the read.

    The only way those optics could look worse is if they had a black butler bring him a pen in that photo. 

    The GOP is determined to bring us back to the pre-Civil Rights era. Sometimes it feels like any kind of progress that we make is temporary, fleeting, and these regressives will attempt to undo the progress as soon as we take our eye off the ball. I swear it's a 24/7 battle against white supremacy.

    The best part about that is one of the main architects is now the President. A fact conveniently forgotten these days.

     

    The War on Drugs started under Nixon, you must be thinking of the Crime Bill. And that particular bill was mostly at the behest of local black community leaders telling lawmakers to do something. In hindsight I believe most people would be open to a less punitive approach to the users and treat it as a public health issue. By the time people realized the discrepancy between the sentencing of crack users vs cocaine, how families were separated and the ballooning of the prison industrial system it was too late. 

     

    The War on Drugs has been an abject failure we imprison the most people of any developed nation and spent over a trillion dollars over the last four decades.

    You may not know this, but white people that DONT use drugs, don't go to prison on drug related charges either.  Mexicans that dont use drugs, dont go to prison for drug related charges either.  Asians that dont use drugs, dont go to prison for drug related charges.  Hard to believe this, but YOU DONT HAVE TO DO DRUGS.  

    Bevo has taken smaller shits than that pile of shit that you just posted.

    It’s was designed that way. Nixon and team said as much

    Oh absolutely. America has operated on the social control over black bodies in some fashion for centuries. The ultimate form of social control, slavery was gone, Jim Crow was shot down, they needed some other mechanism to control black bodies. The prison population exploded over the last 40+ years.

  5. Approximately 7.1 percent of Texans are fully vaccinated. I repeat just 7.1 percent, yet this asshole wants everything to open up and remove the mask mandate. Fuck Abbott, dumbass motherfucker.

    And transfer where, to the school whose system chancellor has insisted their on-campus shrine to "the gallant Negro killer of Texas" will stand today, tomorrow, and forever?

    Possibly to the school whose basketball coach tried to cover up a murder of a player and then whose football coach was let go for perpetuating a culture of rape within the program?

    Possibly to the school that defined corruption and still hasn't ever recovered from the death penalty for their football program.

    Point me to where your ethical compass says is clean and pure.

    Point out to me exactly which university in Texas is exempt from scorn for good reason. Hell, even Trinity in San Antonio and St Ed's in Houston are at least tangentially tied to the multi-generational Catholic Church child rape atrocity.

    So, transfer to exactly where? You name a school, and I will help point out their brutally offensive past.

    It is disingenuous to select one element of the state's past without openly discussing the entire state's past.

    I wholeheartedly support an open and wide ranging discussion of the state's racist past as long as it is comprehensive and supported by the historical record. This selective picking and choosing of what we will acknowledge and what we will choose to completely ignore isn't constructive. No remembrance of any other aspect of the school's past?

    "The eyes of the south are upon you" - R.E. Lee

    "The eyes of Texas are upon you" - UT Austin

    "The eyes of the world are upon you" - Gen. Dwight Eisenhower

    For the record, I am an ardent supporter for re-opening the racial scars of the past.

    This isn't a discussion we should run from or be afraid of. But let's make this intellectually honest and be done with the sniping and selective historical recollection that only serves the interests of the truly culpable.

  7. This democracy likely won't survive another Republican presidency, the party has gone over the deep end and is now an extremist party. Thank God Trump was a bumbling idiot that telegraphed his every move, but he STILL did a tremendous amount of damage. What if someone even more craven, yet smarter and more disciplined gets in there? They are even more emboldened now that we know that a President can't be impeached for inciting an insurrection. The fact that it wasn't a unanimous conviction following the events of 01/06/21 where members of Congress were fleeing for their lives (because make no mistake, there would have been lynchings on live TV) is a disgrace.

  8. Question for anyone that had COVID in the past and afterwards taken the vaccine. Have have you reacted to it (in a good way) if you've been dealing with post COVID symptoms?

    I recovered from COVID back in August, since then I've been dealing with constant fatigue no matter how much sleep or rest I took. I also had a bit of difficulty concentrating at times, probably because I was always tired. It started to affect my work.

    I took the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine last Tuesday and I've noticed that I'm not as tired and worn down as I was before. I wonder if there is a connection and if other people dealt with post COVID symptoms that took the vaccine and noticed changes.
