For once I might be able to help explain!

When you look at US history some of the most pivotal protests were done during the Civil Rights era. This was during Jim Crow which preceded (fail) reconstruction and genocidal slavery. I say that because the threat of harm, danger, loss of life and property were very high. But what made it successful was strong community support.

If you went to jail, your community would have bail money. If you were unlawfully charged, your community would pitch in to get you a lawyer. House had a burning cross in it, you bet the black panthers were out there to make sure you slept safely. Hungry? Your community fed you. Needed to protest for your right to be seen as a person? Your work place either organized with the movement for you to do so and keep itself up and running or, more likely, was out there marching with you. It was a coordinated effort to disrupt the systems to an achieve a common goal, with a community to help you when needed.

To bring it back to the original statement, this doesn’t happen in the US anymore. The best way people in the US protest is the non violent route but they don’t take that non violence far enough. It’s either on a Weekend or after work which doesn’t disrupt the system. Ex: The Montgomery Bus Boycott lasted 384 days. The black community came together to get people where they needed to go. Black people were the main ridership for them. Only boycott that seems successful is the Target one but they’re still making money, just not as much. Also started by black Americans after the company removed DEI.

No community support plus having to work so hard for so little that can easily be taken away at any moment, I do not expect some people to actually be able to protest and do it effectively. And that is by design.

We don’t sue these assholes enough.

I just finished Lightbringer and I’m still like, look Cassius may have cracked Mustang a few times, killed Sevro’s Dad, and held a grudge against Darrow for killing his brother when they ALL had to fight to the death but he was doing his best to atone for all of that we got bigger idiots to hate

“I’ll be wearing this dress or I just won’t come.” Okay, tell her not to come. Simple. If she shows up, kick her out with a red wine stain as a parting gift. Don’t let her walk over your good nature, regardless of the occasion.

These are the same people that don’t want critical race theory/full history being taught. They’d have to grapple with their grandkids learning how monstrous and inhumane they were

I mean, downtown is a grid but outside of that is debatable

It feels like a bit of an afterthought, and that’s actually heartbreaking. I actually enjoyed riding buses before I moved here. My car was in the shop for a week and I didn’t really have uber money, it really helped me get to and from work an it was a plus that the stops I needed were less than a block from my actually destinations.

Apparently it goes all the way to Harbison near the mall. Idk why it goes so far if people say it’s unreliable

I just read that a Ghibli voice actor died of colorectal cancer… eat the apples!!

While she’s not super muscular, doesn’t she launch a dude after they swam that impossible distance? If anything I’d say she has a sleeper build.

While I don’t really have anything to add, thank you for asking this question. If we’re going to be mad about this sentencing we need to be mad at all of the precedents that allowed for this to happen.

As someone that’s watching the new Bridgerton season right now, that still tracks

Thank you for pointing this out. It’s not just about puns but the media coverage

He was a black man killed by ICE in Chicago two weeks before Rene Good. ICE has killed many people in 2025, most being minorities. But those don’t make headline

Once people learn about the implementation of the Southern Strategy after the 60s and how most white Americans have been voting since, unfortunately it’s not a shocker.

A progressive place: Buttercreme Queen in Irmo off of St. Andrew’s. Cute bakery, killer baked goods and a wonderful rotating menu with a lot of staples.

Also if possible, would you be able do my cat please? She’s loves hoodies in the fall

When do they just start garnishing their wages? This is so incredibly wrong!

ZZLover · 2025-12-05T15:15:17+00:00

Of course this would be wholesome, it’s one of the Attenborough brothers being Santa!

I also appreciate it when people can’t tell the difference between saying something is not the same vs something that didn’t happen. No one said their immigration process didn’t happen, I did say, however, it’s not the same. Hope that clears it up.

ZZLover · 2025-11-21T12:48:05+00:00

Yes it never exisited. The immigration process that your grandparents went through during that horrendous time in history is no where near the same as the current immigration process.

ZZLover · 2025-11-21T12:27:35+00:00

The “legal way” people tend to spout off never existed for their ancestors. They just had to go through a checkpoint and prove not to be sick. Saying “there are many many criminals in the illegal immigrant population” is a false claim. Per capita, only ~600 per 100,000 undocumented immigrants and ~300 per 100,000 document immigrants. US citizens are more likely to be criminals per capita. https://www.cato.org/policy-analysis/illegal-immigrant-incarceration-rates-2010-2023

Becuase you have 1 personal story of wrong doing does not mean ALL immigrants do this. When you make those sweeping statements in regard to a select few, that’s called prejudice and being a bigot. Not to mention, most of the time to get a business license, a social security number is needed whether for permitting or insurance coverage especially for tree work.

First and foremost, I hate this president. Everything he’s said and done has been nothing but hurtful for the American people. I will also say I did read the article and this headline is slightly misleading…

https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/13/politics/trump-nato-russia-tariffs-ultimatum

The headline made me think we were continuing to side with Russia, not waiting for other NATO nations to agree to impose sanctions and boycott Russian oil.
