I told y'all, cops don't do what you think they do.๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฟโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Black folk know this from lived experience. Some white folk only learn this when they go to report a theft or sexual assault and find out that the $11B/year NYPD are not equipped to handle that.

@mekkaokereke That's always been the key argument for me when people complain about taxes. I get way better value from the Philadelphia Streets Department (even with our potholes) than suburbanites do having to pay private contractors separately for paving, signage, garbage pickup, and recycling.

๐Ÿค”Nothing confirms the statistic that most white Americans have zero Black friends more than seeing whole newspaper articles call a "fade," by far the most common, most generic, simplest haircut that's worn by most Black US citizens, a "Travis Kelce."๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฟโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Even with fancier Black men's haircuts, most start with a basic fade, and get more complicated from there.

The fade is so common and so foundational that it's how Black barbers are judged. It's like asking an artist to draw a perfect circle.

@mekkaokereke When I saw the Charlottesville torch march I called that haircut the "fash fade" and had a panic when my boss got one a month later. He said it was unrelated to the white supremacist horsefuckers, and white barbers call it "high and tight"

WEEK 31: Remember the elderly lady who was shoved to the ground and arrested Wednesday night at Dartmouth?

@fkamiah17 #Dartmouth claims this was a condition of bail the university opposes, but it's completely ridiculous and unconscionable no matter who imposed the ban.

Not surprised Chris Sununu would send state police just on spec.

"Jeff Sharlet, a bestselling author and fellow Jewish faculty member at Dartmouth, told JTA that he spotted state riot police at the protest even though the college said it only called in local police."

Waffle House reportedly deducts $3 from workersโ€™ pay for each on-shift meal, even if they don't eat it.

The policy could cost all Waffle House workers ~$30M per year.

This is a company that already pays some workers as little as $2.90/hr before tips.

Textbook corporate greed.

@Nonya_Bidniss @rbreich It is, but is rarely actually prosecuted, and even when a settlement is reached it won't cover the back pay.

But sometimes it works, so the feds should step in where state prosecutors fear to tread

#Virginia has given Democrats a ten-seat majority in the Senate, including #DanicaRoem, whose House seat was divvied up in an attempt to gerrymander her out of office.

"She decided to run for Senate in the newly created District 30 after redistricting split her house district three ways."

And they've flipped the house to prevent any more GOP dirty tricks.

When someone says they're pansexual on Mastodon, I think that's grand.

It's official: GOP bigots are trying to use anti-trans panic to overturn Brown v Board of Education, in a bill sponsored by Iowa governor Kim Reynolds.

Introduced yesterday in what's both Black History Month and #LGBT(QIA2S)+ History month, the authors claim โ€œthe term โ€˜equalโ€™ does not mean โ€˜sameโ€™ or โ€˜identicalโ€™โ€ and โ€œSeparate accommodations are not inherently unequal.โ€

Whereas, women need pockets, and
Wheress, the fashion industry is improving but moving too slowly to address their previous problems,
Therefore, I submit the following schedule of charges amending the Fashion Crimes Amendment of 1982, title II, p 7, s iii to cover all genders of clothing:

Two or more roomy pockets: no crime
One roomy pocket: misdemeanor (FCA II.3.iv)
No pockets: felony (FCA II.3.v)
Fake pockets:

  • first offense, felony plus charge of fraud;
  • second offense, summary execution

#FromMyGenXLife here's something Boomers relate to that GenZ does not: being away from home and needing to find a pay phone while breathing exhaust from leaded gasoline.

Here's something GenZ understands that Boomers don't: Until I was 50, I never had a job that lasted more than 2.5 years.

Here's one thing GenZ understands that everyone must: #Queer #LGBT+ kids don't have to grow up bullied and abused from the streets to the state houses like we did.

I did grocery pickup. My regular picker came out looking overwhelmed. The store was crowded like a disaster was coming, he said, and they were out of everything, even staples like milk and cereal.

I'm here looking at @ai6yr's timeline trying to figure out what the looming disaster is! ๐Ÿ˜‚
