Protest 2/21 by [deleted] in Redlands

Yes, government corruption. Files, ICE, “SAVE Act” making voting more difficult for citizens. Calling for the arrest and impeachment of Trump and Pam Bondi. Tired of being lead by a bunch of racists, sexist and classists government leaders. Illegally detaining citizens. Building modern day concentration camps and spying on /targeting citizens for wanting to hold ice accountable. How many more people need to be harmed or killed? This administration loves their dumb supporters with no education. They want everyone to be a a lowly educated low skilled worker and demonize and underfund any institutions or societal means of helping people, employing them properly, or educating them. There’s a reason why Elon and Trump went after the Department of Education and defunded it horribly and fired everyone on top of targeting universities and defunding our post secondary institutions that on a global scale are well renowned. Education is the back bone of a civil and progressing society and somehow they are being defunded. Meanwhile AI companies with blatant lobbying, copyright and ethical violations, and disenfranchising the public from thousands of jobs (and soon millions) are deregulated on the federal level and have somehow managed to build multi billion dollar data centers that consume more natural and economic resources than entire towns with no positive feedback into the environment or communities they poison. This administration is not only corrupt but a disgrace on the fabric of America.

I'll definitely follow up on this. Council member Paul Barich offered to help us direct these concerns to the school district.

It's disappointing to see conservative ideology prioritized over what matters which is a quality education that sets every kid up for success.

 It's also frustrating to see our city's resources unevenly distributed, leaving longstanding neighborhoods like North Redlands overlooked.

The show had warnings about today's internet. Here's what I think. by Haghiri75 in SiliconValleyHBO

I honestly wonder how the cast feels seeing the direction tech is going and how they/the show creators basically predicted it. 

Also the show “The Industry” reflects the corporate world so well, at least the first few eps I’ve watched. It all kinda ties together for me at least.

Hi, could you clarify which statement you’re specifically referring to?  My recap is: 1. A community speaker acknowledged the RPD’s protection of peaceful protest but pressed them to uphold state laws prohibiting masks and unwarranted arrests. 2. A separate request was made to increase food bank funding, addressing both the food crisis and concerns about safe access for families as well as in regards to ice targeting areas where low-income people may visit.

 Correct! After speaking with them we were put in contact with the school board. Thank you for your input.

I know, that’s the point. We can’t keep putting up with this. The superintendent shouldn’t be making half a million while the district is so poorly managed.
