“The Freedom Archives contains over 12,000 hours of audio and video recordings as well as print materials dating primarily from the late-1960s to the mid-90s. These collections chronicle the progressive history of the Bay Area, the United States, and international movements for liberation and social justice.”
... The complete disregard for how an institution's actions & inactions impact on those at the bottom of the 'pyramid' & the subsequent attempt to evade responsibility for the harm caused when publicised.
(you'll have other you'd like to add to the list, I'm sure)
A damning picture of misused power & disregard for others.
In the University of California system, the union representing 48,000 grad students and other academic workers is about to strike in protest of repression of campus protests. It’s a watershed for labor and for the Palestine solidarity movement. #politics https://jacobin.com/2024/05/uc-uaw-palestine-strike-free-speech/
George Monbiot on the role of profit in (children's) social care:
'two Northamptonshire councils revealed they are paying an average of £281,000 a year for each residential placement, or £5,400 a week. A direct comparison cannot be made, because many children in care have complex needs, but just by way of reference Eton’s eye-watering fees are £46,000 a year'!
So, much of tax payers money is supporting investors not those needing care!
ROFL An excerpt from an article- Marge starts something; AOC and Rep Crockett 'Finish Her'.
"I'm just curious, just to better understand your ruling," Crockett said to Comer. "If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody's bleach-blond, bad-built, butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?"
Marge got read to filth and I was scream laughing about it for a while today!
UNREAL… Justice Alito’s House, a ‘Stop the Steal’ Symbol on Display
“An upside-down flag, adopted by Trump supporters contesting the Biden victory, flew over the justice’s front lawn as the Supreme Court was considering an election case.
Judicial experts said the flag was a clear violation of ethics rules, which seek to avoid even the appearance of bias, & could sow doubt about Alito’s impartiality in cases related to the election & the Capitol riot.” #politics#alito

#MSNBC is giving John Kasich a platform to say that Democrats are telling him that Joe Biden may not be the Democratic nominee on live TV, using something akin to "I'm not saying it is true, but many people are saying..."
If North American democracies manage to survive the upcoming election cycles, we must remove the ability for private and corporate interests to overtly or covertly influence & manipulate our information spaces.
