Today, I know that tolerance is nothing like acceptance. Tolerance makes LatinX women the lowest paid class of worker in NY state. Tolerance means US citizens still live in fear of being targeted for violence and even deportation. Tolerance are the white faces at the RNC waving signs over who they get to pick and choose to stay here.Tolerance is always a revocable quality. You can´t depend upon tolerance, except for disappointment.

In the face of malevolent white tolerance, why shouldn´t someone find solidarity in waving an ancestral flag? The Irish do it. The Italians do it. Lots of other white people do it.But that white tolerance shows its limits when non-whites do it. Choosing an ancestral flag over your nation´s flag takes a certain amount of suffering to make that the preferred choice. Consider what it would take for you do to the same.

@futurebird I don´t think that is their point. They want to have the right to say who goes and who stays, at their whim. In that regard, they are making their base very happy right now.

@futurebird Could also have them check her vision next time? My cat had thyroid issues, and apparently blindness came on after that. So, yowling because she couldn´t see her favorite people, until she caught on and started using her hearing.

@futurebird The govt of LA, and the LAPD specifically, have treated sections of the city like a foreign occupied territory for a very long time. They´ve literally burned down sections of old LA. And the police have been problematic throughout the city´s history.

@mekkaokereke @cwicseolfor @mloxton Growing up in Sacramento, I had a lot of experience in the 70s and 80s with how white people were happy to include Hispanics in the demographic, but did not consider us white if we had brown people in our families, or even had a smattering of non-whiteness to us. The whites were ok with European Spanish, but not Latin American heritage folks.White fear right now isn´t even about being a minority; its just in not having an absolute racial majority.

@davidrevoy You could do a front 3/4 down view onto her looking at a school of fish in front of her clapping, her looking at them, warmly smiling, and saying "You're too kind."The song was never for the ones in the boats.

@futurebird Reliability and community level funding hurdles for long term infra.Doing this as small volunteer groups works only so long as everyone has free time.Can't trust the big silos. Setting up a local silo may be good, but getting community involved requires intentionality that evades more than 80% of USians.Also, reliable infra requires reliable staffing. That staff, in the US, need medical benefits, esp for the level of experience needed to run it with minimal staffing.

@futurebird I went to a boarding school for a year. It was probably the best year of K-10 ed that I had. I was ready to drop out in the 6th grade, so this was the only way someone was keeping me in school. Turns out it was really good for me. Small class sizes. Self-determination in how you deal with your spare time. Personal hours with teachers. Went from not passing basic math to advanced Algebra in a year.The only thing better was going to a self-paced "continuation" high school.

@futurebird Usually, the cat will sit where the color is the opposite of its fur. Like, if you wear white, this black cat will absolutely come up and shed on you.Totally intentional. I loved that cat.

@mekkaokereke I remember when we had a blizzard hurricane in #Buffalo, which has a high black population per cap. 41 people died. The city was cut off & locked down, not by snow, but by National Guard troops to stop #Buffalo residents from leaving on orders from Hochul at the request of Erie exec Poloncarz, both Dems. They also stopped any inbound recovery efforts. They told us to stay in our homes and wait, some of us without heat, electricity or water.I will never forget that.

@futurebird In many jurisdictions, yes.A group of people had taken some laptops from a work site (not my worksite). One of them was a friend of mine. They all pointed the finger at him, and got off.He was told by the DA that if he could get $30k together, the whole thing would go away. Apparently, this was a common practice.

@futurebird Seriously, if you know anyone who is really preparing for the Rapture, let them know I will take on their car title, home title, bank accounts, and animals. I will do everything in my power to ensure they are as unburdened as possible to fit through that needle at the end of the rainbow.

@foone Our Roku TV died, and we purchased a Sceptre TV. Couldn't be happier.No smart parts to it. Just inputs. Connected a refurbed PC and leave tabs open for our streaming site of choice.

@futurebird I was going to say "Internet", but I've lived through that. Helped build some of it, actually.The thing that gave everyone access and really changed things worldwide was smart phones.

@futurebird Oh... local cryptids? There are also rolling heads, and coastal mist giants that will scoop people up.There are also the Humboldt Tree Squid.
