“We have the money, the power, the medical understanding, the scientific know-how, the love and the community to produce a kind of human paradise. But we are led by the least among us – the least intelligent, the least noble, the least visionary.” — Terence McKenna

My last year teaching I bought my own rat traps for my classroom, my "security door" didn't lock, the classroom door didn't securely shut, most of my classroom materials were paid for oop, & I was working 20-40 hours overtime a week to stay on top of IEPs. We are not mad enough.
The protests in France started with teachers striking because of underfunding and overcrowding. There were rats in classrooms. High School students then joined the protests. University students then joined the protests. Then trade unions joined. The French police violently overreacted. NONE of this has to do with Muslim people or immigrants. Anyone who says it's a Muslim problem is a lying bigot.

Performing an abortion in Mississippi could result in 10 years in prison but an officer killing a 1-year-old child is justified????

Hasan Piker: “I’m a socialist, I’m an anti-imperialist, I want what’s best for Americans, and what’s best for everyone all around the world. We live in the wealthiest nation on the planet and I find it unconscionable that there are 600K people who go to sleep outside every single night. I find it unconscionable that we do not have a public healthcare system. We certainly have enough money to pay for it. I find it morally repugnant that we use so much of our productive output on waging wars overseas, destabilizing the entire world, instead of using that wealth on ourselves”

French protests are what Portland wishes it could be.
French protests are absolute cinema.

If you don’t think revolution is happening in our lifetime, then you haven’t seen this clip of the based France ninja yet. This generation is different and has no desire to be ruled by a system that puts profits over people.

As an autistic person, I LOVE explanations; I always like to know the “why”. I see explanations as reasons, not excuses. They help me see where people are coming from.

Being called "woke" in a world that can sleep through other people's suffering, isn't an insult. - Pope Leo XIV I fucking respect that.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The quote attributed to Pope Leo XIV is fabricated and never said by him; it originated as an AI-assisted invention admitted by its creator and appears in no official Vatican sources or speeches. snopes.com/fact-check/pop… fullfact.org/world/pope-leo… vaticannews.va/en/search.html… press.vatican.va/content/salast…

Americans are struggling to afford housing, healthcare, groceries, and gas, and Obama’s response is Democrats should focus on virtue signaling instead of improving people’s material conditions. This is exactly why we need a better choice than two parties who serve corporations.
Former President Obama says Democrats made a mistake by making goals materialistic and instrumental: "What people are starved for at the moment is the ability to tell a moral and ethical story about how we live together in this moment."

I still CANNOT believe humans were gifted a planet full of trees, fruit, water, animals and sunshine and then they invented debt, capitalism and war.
