Rev. Jesse Jackson, civil rights icon and two-time presidential candidate, dies at 84 β€œOur father was a servant leader β€” not only to our family, but to the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world,” the Jackson family said in a statement Tuesday.

And somehow, not one of those 25 posts includes reliable information about how to help people in Minneapolis.

AltNPS shared a link to one weird, viral GoFundMe with no apparent connection to Pretti's family, and that's it:

Have you talked to the groups on the flier? They seem legit. Maybe they have a better perspective on the ground? I'm just saying asking what the rationale is might be useful over assuming people dont know what they're doing.

you never imagined things would ever get this bad. So dont lose hope just because you cant imagine how things could get better. you've been wrong before.

ugh, the WHINING people do when I say things like this... "but I have a RIGHT to have an opinion wah wah" sure but its about as relevant as my M.A. in literature opinion on thermodynamics.

hot takes: checking car emissions is good and denying insurance coverage to people is bad. The amount of dems who completely forego their own principles when it inconveniences them or their career is why people don't think democrats believe in anything. There is no vision among hypocrites.

If you're cheering for the suffering of everyday people, even if they kinda suck, you've lost the plot.

men are distraught because they are taught value is a limited commodity.
if others are valued more, then they are valued less.
its a direct result of capitalism and patriarchy.
its real, its devastating, but its not complicated.
and its not women's fault.

if star trek was like reality, no one would ever talk to each other. Data tricked the crew and took over the ship, Worf de-evolved and killed a guy, Riker took part in a major cover-up. I think the whole "the worst day you had doesn't define you" is the real fantasy that attracts me to the show.

of course it wouldn't have been a problem if roof man simply hadn't believed in god in the first place. What no one realizes about this story is it proves belief in god is at best unimportant to outcomes and at worst harmful.

Instead of mourning great art tainted by awful men, mourn the work we lost from their victims Some sexual abusers made great art. Countless more of their victims never got the chance.

realizing that everything I've done, even the things that ended up being huge mistakes, was the best I could do with what I had at the moment. I really don't need to beat myself up for trying my best, even if to the outside world it didnt look like much.

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies.

They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words.

The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.

If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

Jean-Paul Sartre

In the past day or so I've had several people ask why I have descriptions on the images I post. It is called ALT text and its primary purpose is to make visual media accessible to people with visual impairments, but there are other benefits, too. You can read more at the link below!
