"But we can't defund the police!"

In the USA, the police have an annual budget of $100 billion, with an additional $80 billion spent on incarceration. During the coronavirus lockdowns, while other sectors have lost funding, some police budgets have actually increased.

We can absolutely defund the police.

folks all over are like

I just emailed a bunch of people from the Mississippi government about changing the State flag

The current flag contains the Confederate battle flag, yes *that* one

There's some momentum for this to actually happen, and they already have a replacement flag designed with popular support

If you have any connection with the state of Mississippi and would like to help this happen, I can help you figure out who to email and what to say

if you don't know, fuel rats are a volunteer player organisation in the space game 'elite dangerous' that travel to people who get stranded without fuel. they don't charge for this.

... elite dangerous galaxy is realistically sized, so even with the games ftl drive it takes like 18 hours of real time to travel from the bubble (of colonized space) to the galactic core and back.

and these people will travel those times\distances to help out some stranded explorer for free.

Newer version of the 6-colour pride flag with a 5-colour chevron on the left side, including trans colours and POC colours. I like this version.

thinking about that statue of jesus as a homeless man sleeping on a bench and how someone called the cops on it

POC inclusive pride flag. Because yes, I can and will find a flower with brown petals!

Good morning.

Washington state Black Lives Matter are calling for a statewide general strike and silent March protest in support of black people on this Friday, June 12th.

https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/black-lives-matter-group-in-seattle-meets-with-mayor-durkan-calls-for-general-strike-and-march/

“We’re calling on everyone in Washington state who is able to be there. If you can’t march in Seattle, organize one in your community,” board member Ebony Miranda said in a video news conference, asking people to participate despite the COVID-19 crisis.

“Anti-blackness is a greater threat to our survival, and racism in itself is its own pandemic. It’s killing us. We’re fighting to survive and thrive.”

love how every fictional super-powerful corvid eats the corpse of a god at some point. this is the representation i crave

Black Lives Matter Plaza is cool but don’t let them distract y’all. MLK got a street in every state and they killed him too.

When someone says they "grew out of watching anime" I hear "got burnt out by watching only battle shounen and didn't try branching out to any other genres"

I know it's been said but holy moly it's sad that the phrase "gender critical" has been adopted by a group that are so regressively uncritical about the interconstructed nature of sex & gender in society

Anyone living in Virginia: this weekend is the last chance to give input on a proposal to build a water intake facility on the site of the former capital of the Monacan Indian Nation.
