Lifegate PAC and Family Research Council has been politicizing Elizabethtown School Board positions to push bans on books teaching about concepts of race stratification such as To Kill a Mockingbird and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. To ban books on gender stratification like The Scarlett Letter. To ban the teaching of these topics in school including banning teaching these topics in History Class. At their meetings they are talking about how to deal with "radical leftists". They have also physically been removing folks sitting in on meetings. The wish to ban teaching US History such as slavery, peonage, suffrage, lynchings, segregation, assassinations, conspiracy allegations and incarceration is wishing to repeat History. It's only one way national Republicans and Hate Groups are pushing for white and Christian supremacy. You all should pay attention to your local school boards. Especially if you think these books and topics shouldnt be banned. Call out your local racist school board members anonymously @RUSTContactBot

"Maybe you should try and build dialogue and work together with the other side against common enemies"

Look, I agree dialogue is a great tool, but not when people want you dead. You cant just talk to fascists and they become magically better. This isnt an interfaith multicultural conference where we talk about our identities and find middle ground to become friends. There is no middle ground between wanting to live and wanting to kill. The social work that goes into changing genocidal people isnt something that can be done or should be done at a multicultural dialogue conference. You need to have mutual respect before you have crosscultural dialogue and racists who want to kill people dont have that. Instead echo that supremacy is never tolerated and take action so that it never becomes tolerated in your circles

Frito-Lay ordered workers in Topeka to move the dead body of their colleague when he died from exhaustion, and told them: “keep working”

Now that Philly has begun sensationalizing the gun violence again with the 300th homicide this year. I want to do some comparisons between police gun violence and civilian gun violence. I dont have an accurate count of police violence for this years police gun violence rate yet. But I do have last years. 34 police shootings from 6000 officers would be equal to 8937 shootings from 1579000 residents. But there were not 8937 shootings last year. There were 2200. Which means police gun violence occurs at a rate 4 times higher per capita than civilian gun violence in Philadelphia. This year there have been 1224 shootings in Philadelphia. For it to be on pace with last years police gun violence there would need to be 4021 shootings so far this year. So that means Philadelphia police last year were still 3.5 times more violent than Philadelphians have been this year. So stop sensationalizing your neighbors as violent and start sensationalizing the violence police commit. Make sure everyone knows how violent the police are in comparison to the residents they are supposed to "protect"

"White people are relegated to self-sacrifice either way, motivated primarily by feelings of shame. But no one sets fire to a police station out of shame, and white privilege often fails to offer much defense against the consequences of doing so."

Worse than The Jungle. Frito Lay workers are still on strike until their demands are met. Workers are asking that all persons boycott Frito-Lay (and by extension, PepsiCo) products in solidarity.

Did you know that throughout 2020-2021, and currently ongoing, the Israeli government and private telecom companies have been steadily deploying Fiber Optic Internet throughout the country? Well, now you know! And another fact, this deployment of fiber optic connection is almost completely reserved for population centers with Israeli Jews. And I'll show this with a series of images.

A) In the first and second pictures you can see Nof HaGalil (Formerly Upper Nazareth) and the City of Nazareth, and you can clearly see that in the former there is a deployment of fiber optics to 94 households - a lot compared to Nazareth's "0".

B) In the second picture you can see the city of Tel-Aviv-Yafa, where in TLV there exists deployment of fiber optics but in the Arab-majority town of Yafa (Jaffa) there is none.

C) In the fourth picture, you can see that Beer-Sheva, a Jewish city with nearly no Arab inhabitants, there are 3170 connected households, but north of Jaffa in the Bedouin city of Rahat, there are 0.

D) In the last few pictures we can see this even more closely in a supposedly "binational" cities of Lod and Ramle (Lyda-Ramla). There's quite a bit of deployment, but what can we see? neighborhoods that are presumably Jewish (due to Synagogue placement) are connected while neighborhoods with Churches and Mosques have 0 households connected to Fiber.

Now, this information might only be true to the deployment of one company - UNLIMITED - and there may exist deployment of other companies - but only UNLIMITED proudly shows its deployment via a map of the country (which includes occupied settlements). This shows another part of life where Palestinians living in Israel experience inequality and discrmination - and I guess its cause theres no Arab streamers, youtubers, IT personnel, DevOps, coders, etc.,

This whole thing, it can only show you how real the injustices are - that something as universal as a reliable internet connection is prioritized only for one ethnic group above the others. Palestinians living in Israel, who bare Israel citizenship, aren't as equal as the Jews living in Israel; neither are the Druze living here.
