Right. I just hate being in the era of pushing out shitty tech and forcing us to adopt it before it's ready. And all these culty boosters of said shitty tech, like are you being paid to be this inhumane? We don't need to adapt to robot cars running over dogs and cats or tying up traffic.

If the tech is shitty, then it needs to be improved and taken off the roads until it is improved. That should not be unreasonable to say because we do in fact have a lot of shit drivers on the road. We shouldn't add more of them in robot form. Shouldn't be radical or extreme to want safety first.

6) Rosa Parks wasn't meek. A lifelong believer in self defense, her politics were expansive. She loved Martin & Malcolm & Stokely, Ella Baker & Queen Mother Moore, fought for reparations, Black history in every curriculum, prisoner defense, welfare rights—"any move to show we are dissatisfied."

5) The Parks weren't middle class. They were living in the Cleveland Court projects when she was arrested. Both she and her husband lost their jobs because of her bus stand. Forced to leave Montgomery 8 months after the boycott's end, they moved to Detroit—"the Northern promised land that wasn't."

4) Rosa Parks wasn't quiet at key moments. In fact when the police asked her why she didn't move, she spoke back "Why do you push us around?" In jail, she met a woman wrongfully imprisoned for defending herself against an abusive boyfriend; Parks smuggled out her brother's number to let him know

3) There wasn't anything to suggest this was a history-changing event. You know that mugshot photo. It's NOT from this arrest but from one 2 months later when she was arrested as a 'boycott leader.' It's often misattributed because we like the version where the right act is obvious when it happens.
