At a town hall meeting, Vidalia residents vigorously opposed the plan [to integrate schools], saying it would disrupt students’ lives and expose their children to drugs and violence.

Accepting the plan would have been a “death sentence” for the district, said Paul Nelson, a former Concordia superintendent. White families would have fled to private schools or other districts, said Nelson

“It’s time to move on,” said Nelson, who left the district in 2016. “Let’s start looking to build for the future, not looking back to what our grandparents may have gone through.”

Hmm... Something tells me it's not just something the grandparents went through...

Musk chooses who he gives money to. He's not going to give money to Bernie, who's currently rallying against oligarchs. Instead, he's going to give it to the people who are willing to push his fascist agenda. In the last election that was conservatives, but it's not like the liberals don't have freaks of their own. Money and advertising spend largely determines election outcomes, so by giving cash to politicians he likes, he can literally buy elections. Very few politicians would turn down his cash if offered, because they want the advantage it would bring. They also just have a fetish for sucking the toes of large donors.

Gun control does not always mean outright banning guns.

Do you think the Russian, Cuban, Chinese, and Parisian revolutionaries did not have or use guns?

IWI

Yeah, we need more peaceful protesters to be attacked by cops and counter-protesters, then get blamed for the violence.

Or maybe the fascists will eventually just decide to stop, all on their own...

Only the OP and top level comment.

Silly me, socialism is sooo globally fashionable!

Fixed it.

Yep, really chickened out of deploying Gestapo.

JuSt VoOoTe!! VOooTe HaRdER! I'm VOOTING!!

Yeah, the US is sooo ~~McCarthyist~~ Marxist, it's super fashionable.

Also, Black Panther is a superhero movie, and Malcolm X is a member of the X-Men.

Yeah, they very obviously did not pay 130k for the box alone, and I'd guess it's not insurable for the value it held. It also doesn't seem to be in an armored room or vault, and their security system didn't even go off. Not clear where that budget went, unless the owner is also paying themselves as a PT security guard, lol.

The walls of the safe are quite thin and it could have been opened in a few minutes had they used the right tools in the right places. Even "proper" safes insurable for this amount of value, are only rated to resist tools for 30-60 minutes.

Seriously, even $20k safes are MUCH beefier than whatever this is/was, and might actually justify 5 hrs.

$1.3M in what looks like a $1k "safe".
