@ScottSoCal @Jaden2 he also largely agreed with Ghandi that widespread “civil” disobedience evaporates the power of the powerful. The minority can’t rule without the consent/obedience of the masses

@SusanHR @Jaden2 @ScottSoCal indeed, the wounds have not healed.. my country Kenya has only been politically independent for 60 years, and so much of the colonial past influences everything we do today

@ScottSoCal @Jaden2 sort of but what gets left out on King side is the misunderstanding/oversimplification of nonviolence, which isn’t abt hugs & singing kumbaya. It’s a COERCION tactic. Read MLKs “Fill The Jails,” which explores how the goal of nonviolent direct action is abt gumming up the system to bring it to a screeching halt. There is a Machiavellian power move involved. Non violent direct action is FORCE (minus military weapons). Gene Sharp has tons on this

You've got this Sheila! Just remember, new year new ewe!

The forest river did not freeze.
There is a cozy warm house on the bank of the river.
Beautiful nature.

As the enemy's navy arrives, seemingly out of nowhere, Private Kowalski races to warn his commander.

@ScottSoCal @Jaden2 sometimes violence is necessary if your own government is responding only with violence.

@ScottSoCal @Jaden2 let me quote Nelson Mandela and his decision to resort to acts of sabotage aimed at power plants, military facilities etc that would cripple the apartheid government.
"At the beginning of June 1961.. I, and some colleagues, came to the conclusion that as violence in this country was inevitable, it would be unrealistic and wrong for African leaders to continue preaching peace and non-violence at a time when the government met our peaceful demands with force."

Lou loved his job but if he had a nickel for every time someone asked if he was "monitoring the situation" he would never have to pay for another rat dinner.

Hey, I just wrote an article on Medium. It's about being trans. I'm sure you never could've guessed. #trans #lgbtq #relationships #lgbt #writer

Little known fact: It’s called a “cat 3” storm because the damage is equivalent to the work done by 3 cats left alone for 1 hour.

NEW: My new co-worker George Anthony Devolder Santos is a distraction and a danger to democracy.

Read my Op-Ed in @nbcnews: 👇

I need a time machine to take me back to this level of cool

BREAKING: I am calling upon the Federal Election Commission to investigate George Santos.

There is reason to suspect an illicit flow of campaign dollars through various pass-throughs into the pockets of the #GeorgeSantos campaign.

We need the truth.

Hmm, wonder why Fox News just can't stop harping on Secretary Pete Buttigieg's paternity leave...🤔

Chasten's response to the faux controversy had me cackling, see for yourself here: https://www.comicsands.com/chasten-buttigieg-fox-paternity-leave-2659213681.html?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=toot&utm_campaign=sand

@ScottSoCal @Coachmark You youngsters #LOL My collections go from 1914, WW ditties, Tin Pan Alley, Al Jolson, Billie Murray, to about 2021.. And fewer each year since. I try to keep a few popular hits from each year along the way. I still have them crammed on MP3 Data CDs, my Truck doesn't have input ports.
I was also a DJ, so most of the music after 90s is Dance Music of one genre or another.
And I play 7 #heardle every morning. https://halifaxsocial.ca/@Rasta/109709961366508871
Wanna play? I've a lot of music

The right wants us to think there is an equivalence between the Trump and Biden documents stories.

The truth is, they're not even close, as Rep. Dan Goldman made clear in his excellent Twitter clapback to Jim Jordan: https://www.comicsands.com/jordan-dan-goldman-trump-biden-2659271828.html?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=toot&utm_campaign=sand
