“Didn’t threaten the lives of justices”? Fuck that bullshit.
Justice Blackmun, who wrote the Roe majority opinion, had a bullet shot through his living room window. This after years of receiving letters threatening his life. The bullet occurred right after he had received a particularly concerning letter, and was at the end of a year in which DC-area clinics had been subjected to seven bombings. Not threats, bombings.
The Black Panthers basically Invented school lunches. Schools started offering free lunch because the Black Panthers were providing food to kids who couldn’t have any at home.
As you can imagine schools and parents liked having fed kids. They put pressure on politicians to enforce it legally through officially funded means. And politicians who didn’t want the Black Panthers gaining support, did it.
And so free school lunches were born. No more hungry kids.
But now… They’ve done away with it.
And you should be nothing less than outraged. Why is your family’s stomach worth cutting out of the budget while police get increases? While the military gets increases?
Our kids still matter.
This isn’t just fucked up, it’s anti-black cuz guess who’s STILL one of the largest demographics utilizing that program since the Black Panther’s started doing it?
