We need to shut down private schools until we can figure out what the fuck is going on.

Remember when Blackwater did a bunch of war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan and all they had to do was change their name a few times to avoid any consequences? And by "avoid consequences," I mean "get their executives and their families into the White House with congressional approval."
Imagine the xenomorph from the movie Alien, except they're vegan instead of doing chest burster shit.
Something something never believe the antisemites are unaware of the absurdity of their claims something Satyr Jeans Poll or something idk
There's definitely something wrong with your toes, but I prefer this new color combination over your ugly, mud-grey colored feathers.
I'd point to white flight as the primary reason for suburbs (like 90% lol). As Jim Crow ended and the Second Great Migration began, suburbs started to pop up as redlining went into effect or PoC were scammed.
One of the common rackets orchestrated by real estate agencies, city councils, banks, and development companies was to offer black first-time homeowners cheap deals on housing in cities. They would collect the down payment, let a family move in, then ambush them with bullshit inspections. Of course, they'd find something wrong not disclosed before the purchase, which was then used to deem the home unsafe or get it condemned. The black family would then be evicted and the scam would repeat.
Real estate agents would then go around to neighboring houses and say "Look what happened when those blacks moved in! They trashed their house! Your property values are at risk if another black family moves in. Sell your home to us and we'll make sure you get a good deal." They'd repeat the scam again with another house, so now you have multiple houses where black people are moved in, their money taken, then evicted.
Eventually, the whole neighborhood would be black and the homes sabotaged and flipped so many times the houses were no longer worth holding onto. Whoever was the most recent owner was left holding the bag. At this point, white families moved out of urban areas into newly developed suburbs. They created de-facto segregation while making money the entire time. City officials got kickbacks to look the other way as financial institutions ravaged neighborhoods.
This was one of the topics that comes up when discussing reparations. Most of these families may not be able to prove they're descended from slaves, but they can prove how they were given bogus mortgages and had their entire life savings wiped out. Not to mention, redlining still occurs today, where PoC are denied home loans despite their good credit. And of course, the reactionaries obfuscate what these court cases are about, saying people are just looking for handouts based on being black.
I like both the original and Metallica versions of the song.
Didn't Fox News run a segment blaming Obama for 9/11? Or am I thinking of the Tea Party?
I knew I was forgetting more lmao
The '90s were only good for people too young to pay attention to what was happening in the world or too rich to care.
They're lucky someone didn't walk into the store, see a guy pointing a gun at people cowering on the floor, then open fire with a real gun, thinking they're saving the lives of three people. Like holy shit there's so much that can go wrong here. Especially if some cop saw this going down and decided this was the perfect time to spray and pray a store.

Then we can go back once the libs figure out they've been bamboozled.
Just picked it up from the meme factory yesterday. That's Juicy Pear. And the lettering is something called "Lobster."

Pic related. This smug fuck even uses a microwave to reheat last night's korma take out.
Do you really think somebody would do that? Just steal your apes while pretending to be from another country so they could easily get away? Surely there's securities in place for crypto to prevent such a thing!
