As you may have seen earlier this week, WI State Senator André Jacque (Q-Green Bay area) has been hospitalized with COVID… and legislators and members of the public who were in close contact with him didn’t find out about it until it showed up in the newspapers on Tuesday, 5 days after his positive test. …
The Washington Post is reporting that an all-girl robotics team made up of high-school-age girls just arrived in Doha, Qatar after escaping from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. For security reasons, they are not discussing the details of their journey.
At least a dozen of the girls from the team have fled the nation, the majority arriving in the capital city of Doha on Tuesday, according to Elizabeth Schaeffer Brown, an adviser with the New York-based Digital Citizen Fund, the team’s parent organization. Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed their arrival in a statement.
An Afghan technology entrepreneur named Roya Mahboob founded the sponsoring organization and mentored the team. She began making plans to evacuate the girls over a week ago by working with the Qatari government to plan the escape, expedite visas, and provide transportation. The US government was apparently not involved in the extraction.
The current team is made up of girls ages 13-18, who have never known life under Taliban rule. The girls were all born and raised in a more open and egalitarian era in Afghanistan. Brown told the Post:
“They want to go to Mars, go to Harvard, become engineers, make a mining robot, make video games.”
It seems likely that none of those things could have happened if they had remained in Afghanistan.
“If it wasn’t for their hard work and dedication to their education, the world wouldn’t know them and they’d still be trapped,” Brown said. “The girls rescued themselves. It was their bravery that got them out.”
Yep, because baby formula is one of the most shoplifted things in America. Which should ALSO radicalize you.
Or… We stop shoplifting? 🤔 Are we demonizing acts to stop crimes now?
ill tear your head off your shoulders you dumb fuck
I’m all for radicalization like the government and society are fucked. But they put baby formula in locked cases because it is used to make meth. The store does this to keep an eye out if someone is buying way too much. Like waaaaay too much.
This is what imperialism and capitalism and the “war on drugs” does to people’s brains. You can see that people are so desperate to feed their babies that the people who rule your lives keep baby formula under lock and key but rather than that radicalizing you and making you want to fight for a world where no baby ever goes hungry, you justify this draconian bullshit because you’ve fallen for the propaganda that baby formula is used in some nebulous relation to “drugs” and drugs are bad so whatever inhuman monstrosity that occurs must be justifiable.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
