This is something I’ve been noticing a lot with deleted scenes lately. Instead of enjoying getting to see something that didn’t make it into the final cut of a movie or show people just get mad at the creators for cutting them and sometimes it gets really toxic and uncalled for.

It also shows that unjust rules/laws do not allow you to truly follow rules or “comply” because those rules can be easily changed to take away your autonomy and agency. /5

It’s important to talk about this distinction. It shows how people in power purposely create rules and laws that give them discretion, and they can use that discretion to harm you or even create a narrative of lawlessness or “breaking the law”. /4

So the bus driver actually moved the “colored section” behind Rosa Parks and demanded that she and others in that row stand up. That’s when she “broke the law”, and that’s very different than the story people tell. /3

Rosa Parks paid to get on the bus and actually sat in the first row of the “colored section” behind ten rows of white seating. So, she sat in the rows she was technically allowed to sit in. But what happened was that the bus was filling up and some white people were standing. /2

A lot of people keep referencing Rosa Parks, so can we please tell the Rosa Parks bus story properly? It’s actually more telling that way. She DID NOT try to sit in the front of the bus. What actually happened might be more telling for how power is used and wielded. /1

Isn't he a little charmer?

Universities are full of racist assholes like this, who make life constantly unpleasant for Black students, but I guess no one is interested in 'safety' when it comes to anti-Black racism.

so we have video evidence the “counter protestors” made multiple racist comments and somebody is sending faculty who pointed this out racist, fatphobic, transphobic, and homophobic filled emails…. but the people protesting for Gaza’s freedom are the problem.

He should. They have made an in-Godly amount of money mimicking Black musicians for 7 decades. This is the very least he can do and your grandmother deserves her credit for inspiring one of their biggest hits — her original cover of “Time is on My Side”

So… we now have confirmation of an Israeli special ops vet running an infiltration operation into the UCLA encampment in coordination with the LA Sheriffs dept.

(And just to make it extremely embarrassing for everyone involved, a Dr Phil debrief immediately thereafter.)

The pro-Israel counter protestors at UCLA were organized by a group funded by billionaire Bill Ackman and friends, including Jessica Seinfeld (wife of the erstwhile comedian Jerry Seinfeld).

I will say this now: if the Garland Justice Department indicts Henry Cuellar and continues to fail to indict the House Republicans who were Neck Deep in an insurrection, it is a shameful failure of the system of justice. And all of those involved.

In 2022 Nancy Pelosi and Jim Clyburn flew to Texas to campaign for Henry Cuellar - an anti-choice conservative - in his primary against a progressive, pro-choice Latina woman, Jessica Cisneros. They did this knowing he was under federal investigation - just to stop a progressive.

JUST IN: Prosecutors have charged Rep. Cuellar and his wife with accepting $600,000 in foreign bribes and money laundering.

They face long prison terms if convicted.

Protesters are at President Whitten’s house, demanding she sign a resignation letter. Cops have begun responding.

I’ve seen multiple videos of police not only violently abusing and arresting college protestors, but intentionally taking off their masks to broadcast their faces. But these same cops who will have their identities hidden when lawsuits are filed & WE pay for their abuses.
