It depends a lot on the volume being paid out. Take the SF example, they want to pay out five million. Unless there are only a few people who would get the funds it wouldn’t have nearly the impact as if it were used for other programs.

Covid-relief funds sent to people in need, instead of embezzled by well-off or wealthy assholes who felt more entitled to it than people in need, was overwhelmingly used by those people to pay for basic necessities, like food, rent, utilities, and things of that nature. The assertion that ‘handouts’ to the poor are…
And MTG’s disruptive performance during the President’s State of the Union went unpunished & nary a peep from the Republicans. The GOP hypocrisy and bigotry runs through their veins!
I see that our grey maybe-Kremlin shill is very active with trying to persuade folks to abandon all opposition to Republican erasure of freedom.
The Republican definition of ‘freedom’ is being ‘free’ to join them as allies or die as enemies.
The boy was not a threat to anyone just cops that enjoy killing or shooting mainly black people .
Incredibly fucking stupid.
“An MPD officer is heard warning him, “Please don’t get caught inside. Don’t get inside that car.”
What amazes me is just how stupid these (and many, many others) cops are. And Americans repeatedly have to die because of it.
It’s not clear from the edited news clips of the footage if they ever tried to wake him up by tapping on the glass but it doesn’t seem like it as they are clearly trying to sneak into the car behind him, which makes no sense (even according to the cops warning ahead of time).
So much is missing from this story. Most car thieves wouldn’t be caught dead in a stolen car, much less sleeping. They made no effort to talk to him, instead they went to arrest him- for what, exactly? Per the article, the officers were responding to a call about a suspicious vehicle in the vicinity, but that lone…
Yes i’m sure she’s a member in good standing with the KKK. Sigh
The term woke originated by black people nearly 100 years ago as way a way of saying stay aware of your circumstances. So yes. Woke is deemed black because it originated by us. But just like affirmative action, diversity inclusion, and just about every other social term or tool it’s been hijacked by white people who…
It’s about time that somebody flushed the toilet to get rid of this racist group. Just like the people who are finally taking Trump to court, leave it up to Black folks to get the job done.
Yes the two different things are indeed different. Amazing it took you so long to comprehend this.
I wish we would support woke like we support the N- word. Woke was truly thought up by Black people to uplift Black people and we and our allies need to wear that shit loud and proud
No. Not going to keep giving them things they colonize. This would be a disservice to the elders and ancestors who used Woke and Stay Woke long before Ms. Badu was even born. Huddie Ledbetter a.k.a. Lead Belly in 1938.
It also encompasses black allies - or as racists say “n-word-lovers.”
“The phrase “woke” and to “stay woke” is not new — it began appearing in the 1940s and was first used by African Americans to “literally mean becoming woken up or sensitised to issues of justice”, says linguist and lexicographer Tony Thorne.”
