It’s okay, the best thing we can do is inform others so that we don’t unknowingly hurt others. Now you know. 💜

If you don't count any system that is predicated on the degree of exploited labor (underpaid/overworked, child labor, and slavery) Then yeah, a functioning economic system hasn't ever been seen in U.S. history... not really compatible as there will always be exploited labor under capitalism.

NAACP LDF: How Police Have Failed LGBTQ+ Communities

Today, violence by state and private actors against LGBTQ+ people of color, particularly against trans people of color, grows, as evidenced by the current wave of anti-trans laws, misinformation campaigns, and transphobic and homophobic violence.

As we continue to push for a vision of public safety that provides for sustainable and healthy communities, it is crucial to remember that the police, and the criminal justice system as a whole, have long denied people safety because of their sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender presentation – and have historically targeted LGBTQ+ people of color in particular. At the same time, LGBTQ+ people of color have an equally lengthy history of bravely countering these abuses and fighting for liberation.

It's The Systems Of Systemic Police Violence Against Minority Groups, Not Any Individualist Sentiments About Bad & Good Apples. Unlike Minority Identities Like Race & LGBTQ+, Policing Is A Chosen Profession, So It Is Not Reductionism When Criticizing The System Of Policing To Use Broad Statements About Police. The Police Are A System, Not A Collection Of People That Were Born Police.

Nice plan, I used a symlink to quickly heal fixed paths in configs like

ln -s /home/NewAffirmingName/ /home/OldName/

That way if a setting I transferred over is trying to pull a file from /home/OldName/Gamesave instead of ~/Gamesave it will still work... unless it doesn't recognize symlinks... but for a lot of stuff it has been working.

I have been testing both !memmy@lemmy.ml and !mlemapp@lemmy.ml and both still have some bugs to work out, but they are progressing quickly. Memmy for instance had 2 updates just today, looking forward to seeing what comes out of testflight first.

Daniel Ellsberg's life serves as a stark reminder that the US government is not impervious to deception and propaganda, particularly when it comes to combating socialism, even when it goes against the wishes of the majority. Ellsberg, a former military analyst, exposed the lies and cover-ups surrounding the Vietnam War by leaking the Pentagon Papers, a top-secret government study. His brave act revealed a pattern of misinformation employed by those in power to justify military actions and suppress socialist movements. Ellsberg's actions highlight the importance of critical thinking and holding government accountable, reminding us that even democratic institutions are susceptible to manipulation and distortion of truth.
