Then they sued a Black woman for copyright infringement even though she had been performing as Lady A for 20+ years
Lady Antebellum had to be told to change their name which was already bad enough (because what were you thinking naming yourself after something to celebrate slavery).
And then they changed it to Lady A.
Lazy as hell.

It's sad that despite declining fertility rates in the US over the last two decades, we not only aren't spending more on the education of the children we do have, we're not even keeping up with inflation. We have fewer children and we're spending less to educate them as our future.

One of the points Joshua Davis makes in *Police Against the Movement* is that COINTELPRO was started by the police and all the FBI did was federalize it.

This is the correct take. Stewing in white supremacist propaganda is bad for your thinking. And if think you are so savvy that it won’t impact you, you are the exact kind of mark they are slowly converting (I’m looking at you, centrist pundits).
It’s really funny how a generation will roll its eyes at parents who watch Fox News but doesn’t see why being immersed in Twitter is having the same effect. Lots of serious people show up on Fox News too but that shouldn’t be your primary source on the news.
