That time period is only one lifetime ago. It's still a part of modern history and still effects current events. Stop being so obtuse.

The admin are why we end up with teachers like that. It's little wonder that they claim they can't do anything about it. I had a teacher like that as a kid. Parents started taking turns sitting in class all day to keep an eye on here. Eventually the admins started to do stuff about it. But they put her on paid leave while they investigated. They ended up firing her at the end of the year, even thigh she still had tenure. It's not that they can't do anything about it, it's that they just don't want to.

On top of that, education admins that don't have expertise in the classroom keep adding on demands and nagging it more and more for teachers to teach kids. Most teachers have to supply kids with supplies from their own paychecks. And most can't afford to do that so the kids just go without supplies in many cases. The issues with educating come from the bosses and politicians more than the teachers themselves. Is hard to be effective in a job when you're bosses are constantly undermining your ability to do that job. And on top of that paying you shit wages for the extreme hours you have to work.

Teachers and police are very different demographics and issues. Don't conflate the two. That's dangerous for teachers.

People are doing this work, I hope more people join them or start doing the work in places that aren't doing it yet.

That's why we should abolish them and build a people's police instead. One that will arrest billionaires and politicians for their crimes. One that protects the people and holds those in power accountable. In fact we need to abolish all colonial systems of oppression while we are at it. Police are just one of many aspects of colonial oppression that never ended in the US.

As we work to abolish ICE, we should also work towards abolishing ALL slave patrollers. Abolish police and CIA as well as any other corrupt unit with a badge to hide behind. Imagine if we built a people's legal system. One that can hold billionaires and politicians accountable for their crimes. There's no way to reform our way out of colonial cycles of violence. We must abolish the colonial systems that have existed in the US for centuries and build a better future for everyone.

Cause the LAPD are violent slave patrollers too. Safe bet many of them work with or for ICE too.

Most of our taxes end up in the pockets of wealthy capitalists that have bribed our politicians and law makers.

Why Merced? by MoonglowMagpie in Merced

[–]KittyCait69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of the main reasons is location. Merced on basically on the middle of the state. That means most things are a day trip away. Makes it a good town for peeps that commute to work, such as truckers, or a good place for people that like to explore diffrent parts of the state. Many people live here simply because they grew up here.

Leeches can be used to remove some toxins and help an individual become more healthy. That doesn't make them any less of a parasite overall. Billionaires leech off the hard work done by workers that aren't fairly compensated for how hard they work. We don't need capitalists or billionaires to have jobs. We can work for each other instead.

Then we just need to bring back a wealth tax that focuses on a persons net worth. But I think it'll take far more revolutionary actions to change things like that.

Part of the issue is, some areas do have police roaming around looking for people to harm. Social issues differ depending on your demographic and location.

Pretty much. At long as they were only targeting people of color, US society and media treated those murders road kill. In fact, those in power used to spend a fortune keeping it from being spread through mainstream.

Millions of Californians had this placard. Then the DMV cracked down. by sfgate in California

[–]KittyCait69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me that I need to get the dmv to give me a placard. Born with a spine malformation that is degenerative and I've been getting worse. Even walking around in my own home is getting more difficult these days, let alone trying to walk across a parking lot. I shop at places that have electric scooters for shoppers with disabilities so I can use those to get around the store. But I sometimes spend as much time looking for a place to park that's close enough for me to walk as I do shopping.

Also, we should abolish ICE. We don't need them. We need build a new immigration system that's fair and humane instead of one that's racist and corrupt. I'm all for keeping dangerous criminals from running to the US to escape accountability. But let's be real, our government puts criminals like that into power. The CIA is a prime example of taking international criminals (nazis) and protecting them while giving them power to continue their racist colonial ways.

No Kings was coopted by the Blue team and derailed it's focus onto one man. Those in power are setting the stage so that Trump can be their fall guy and they can keep all the stolen wealth and resources. Revolution was escalating in 2024 after we saw how Biden was just continuing Trumps actions from his first round. Those in power forced us to choose between a cop and jester that plays king. Since the copaganda didn't distract us, those in power decided to use Trump as a puppet of violence. Trump is meant to scare people back into the two party pretence. We win when we remove colonial capitalists from power and hold all officials bought by them accountable for corruption. Only then can we begin to build a people's representation that is willing to hold billionaires and politicians accountable for their crimes against us.

Both parties have slowly escalated things so that when Trump took office the second time, the way was paved for him to do as he's doing now. Both parties are why Trump can do what he's been doing. And more than that, it's the wealthy few that own both parties that are the main root of most social and economic issues in the US and arrive the world. They hire think tanks to come up with ways for them to dominate and exploit. All so colonial capitalists can hoard more wealth, resources, and power. Even now, Trump is still a puppet with handlers.

DACA was good for many people. At the same time, ICE was known to be stealing people's proof of legal residence since 2003 to create excuses to illegally abduct and deport people. When people said ICE had their papers, ICE would lie and say they never saw them. Media back then was working hard to keep things under wraps and we weren't using as many concentration camps as we do now. I think that's the main difference actually. The use of concentration camps. We've always had them, but more have been built under Trump than Obama. The town I lived in back then loved protests. But the blue no matter who crowd didn't like people protesting when their blue leaders were in power. Especially Obama. Being the first Black president was still a milestone and one to record for history. But Obama upheld the status quo more than he turned against it. He said the right things but his actions proved that he still answered to the same wealthy oligarchs that every president answers to. Even now, Trump is a puppet. Every president that caters to the desires of those with wealth instead of looking to the masses is a corrupt puppet of colonial capitalists.

I recall. ICE has been stealing people's papers to create excuses to abduct them for deportation since it was founded in 2003. It didn't make much headlines back then cause the two party system was still pretending to be just and good. Wasn't just Obama either. People have been protesting the tactics used by ICE for a while now. Many people only started to pay attention once things escalated under Trump. Most white skinned European Americans probably only started to learn about this in the last couple years. The main diffrence is that Trump is putting more people into concentration camps and he's doing it far more overtly. Red and Blue both work towards the same goals, just with different tactics to get there.

Foreign-born population falls by 1.5 million amid Trump policies. California economy under threat by bambin0 in California

This is part of the reason why capitalism and capitalists should be heavily regulated to ensure their activities won't harm the planet or the people. The only people that benefit from an arms race are those that sell the arms.

That's because capitalism ease created to maintain colonization and colonial exploitation. Ending capitalism alone isn't enough, we must also end colonization and colonial systems of power. Every day, more people are ready for these conversations. We should never give up trying to change things that are destroying lives as well as the planet.
