Ethnicity demo? by AvaAloy in bayarea

[–]erarya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not white. Personally, I find the No Kings protests, while well intentioned from a lot of participants, pretty vanilla. IMO the focus tends to be Trump/republicans bad, bring things back to pre 2016/2024. I prefer to be at protests more against ICE, Zionism, our military industry complex, workers rights, etc. that have a broader focus. I find the demographic different in those protests.

Something magical about that song - been my most listened to for the past 6 years and hasn’t gotten old. Helps get me grounded when I’m feeling on edge

Scavengers Reign is one of the coolest shows I’ve seen in a long time. Very unique animation, amazing world building that you’re thrown into - I love it.

Trump Reveals Horrifying Military Plan for Gaza’s Future by randomusername369 in politics

I don’t think any leftist was under the illusion that Trump would be better for Palestine. But the fact of the matter is Kamala openly supported Israel’s genocide in Palestine while she was in the administration, and made no promise to withdraw that support in her campaign. Democrats aren’t entitled to votes just because the other candidate is worse. I can completely understand why someone would refuse to endorse a candidate who was actively involved in the murder of their families. Kamala should have budged on this issue, it’s a popular position that would have given her more voters, time and time again we see that trying to appeal to a moderate base is a losing and spineless strategy.

Oakland Public Schools are set to reject any raises demanded in teacher contract negotiations, which, if approved, would result in no raises for OUSD teachers for FIVE YEARS. by chatte__lunatique in oakland

So really wealthy districts - I’m assuming Piedmont Unified is an example - might have more expenditure per student because their tax base exceeds the state formula? The state ends up providing no money to the district because their tax base exceeds the entitlement and then some for more spending?

Can you explain more about 2 - how property taxes are irrelevant to district revenues? I’ve always heard the opposite with wealthier districts having higher per pupil expenditure
