I have a dog, some lacemaking skills, and some books. Probably watching crime shows. Not my real name.

Is this news? Here’s more or less the same story from 12 years ago. No-one took any notice then, can’t help thinking no-one will care now: archive.is/QFw94

They've been beating the "Dems Bad" drum for more than ten years. I believe that has to have a cumulative effect, resulting in lowered turnouts every election since. "we weren't decisive", my ass

Nobody's perfect y'all. However, these people pretending Trump and Biden are the same and it's proven they are not, should be ashamed

You’ll notice that the same American state media who attacked President Biden relentlessly over his age refuse to report on the orange felon illegally stealing millions of taxpayer dollars to fund campaign ads. They continue to deliberately fail democracy.

Russians bombed a hospital in Kyiv. They also deliberately double-tapped it to try to kill first responders. Russia is committing a Genocide.

The ambassador's statement is common among Iranians, even among opposition members. I have met Iranians, who bragged to me that their families had Georgian slaves, as slavery was legal in Iran till 1929 and that Georgian slaves benefited from being slaves by being exposed to Persian culture.

"Queen Ketevan was tortured to death in the Iranian city of Shiraz in 1624 on the orders of Shah Abbas I. Historical sources and academic studies document her martyrdom. The Georgian Orthodox Church venerates Ketevan as a saint and commemorates her on 26 September." jam-news.net/iranian-amba...

Iranian ambassador calls history of Georgian Queen Ketevan "controversial", sparking criticism in Georgia
Critics interpreted the statement as a suggestion that the ambassador was questioning Queen Ketevan's martyrdom.

I was holding my breath through your thread, hoping that "witnesses" didn't conjure some BS that put your son at risk. You're a helluva man and father, and it sounds like you are very equally matched with your bride. And yes, he's gon' need them rubber boots.

Sir, you stood on business and did right by your son. A hard lesson for sure, but one he's not going to forget about not being able to trust everyone. I hate that, but it's for our kids' own protection. As we told ours, no friendship is worth risking, at minimum, his reputation; at max, his life.

And yes, I cursed. This new age thing of being light on talking to young adults ain't my thing. I told my son who knew damn well better than to take that shit from that young man. Knowing him doesn't mean a fucking thing. Next time, tell them to miss you with that shit and give me the phone

My son was so scared and he told me last night that he respect me a whole lot more because he see for himself why I always talk to them and how much loved them. I told this story because I know damn well I am Black, I can't change that and nor do I want to.

They told us they will call us within 24 hours for the ruling and we can appeal if we disagreed. One hour later, they called and told us to tell our son to be at school as normal and he was exonerated.

The witnesses came in and said that our son was just doing what he was asked and pretty much it was straight forward. The minimum my son was supposed to get was alternative school for 45 days and expulsion the max.

We had a hearing yesterday about it, I made my son write an essay on THC, Vaping and an apology to the school because after all, ignorance is no excuse in the law eyes. I wanted him to understand this now and not later.

I want to remind folks this is a predominantly white school that Nolan Wells attended also. So, with all of the racist shit going on, I was concerned. Especially since the kid who gave it to him was not Black.

Well, the principle knew me personally and knew how our other kids were. We had 7 kids to come through this school and he has been there a while. He told me he saw what happened and what was said. He never told me exactly what was said until later

I came to the school, hot under the collar but I didn't know exactly what happened so I was level headed with it. I was a street kid and I taught my kids all I know that would protect them from others. Did I fail? What I missed?

Well, last week my son, use the bathroom at school and was going to class when another young man he knows, told him to "hold this." Well, my son thought it was a charger and said okay, and the principle saw it. He took it and had it examined and tested, it was THC..So, they immediately suspended him

I mean there already is a weird cognitive dissonance between how they scream that mainstream norm libs will abandon trans rights and how they dismiss "culture wars" and whine about how Democrats can't speak to "the working class" any more

This will unironically boost transphobia on the far left because, once they can no longer use the threat of transphobia to wrestle away trans people from the Democrats, trans people will officially become useless to them. You'll start seeing the DSA discuss trans voters like they do black voters.

Trump is reinstating gender-based discrimination because no one’s rights are ever absolute And that’s why the charge of “how can you defend your own rights when someone else in the world is out there, suffering 🥺” was always downright stupid
