If you still think that the police shouldn't be abolished, read this: https://medium.com/@OfcrACab/confessions-of-a-former-bastard-cop-bb14d17bc759

"But the protests have caused so much damage! Think about how much it's costing taxpayers!"

If the protests cause $100 million worth of damage, that is only 0.1% of the annual US police budget. They could cover the total cost of repairs and barely notice the difference.

"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.

any work of fiction: here's an actual fascist. and here's an extremely clear and thoro explanation of why he's bad

u/TerrariaRationalist: hmm but what if he has a point

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.

“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.”
