as worth hearing about.
“Bogus Charge”: FBI Raids African People’s Socialist Party; Group Dismisses Russian Influence Claims
Leaders of the African People’s Socialist Party say the FBI carried out a violent raid on its properties with flash grenades and drones early Friday morning in Missouri and Florida. The pan-Africanist group has been a longtime advocate for reparations for slavery and a vocal critic of U.S. foreign policy. The raid appears to be connected to a separate indictment of a Russian man accused of using U.S.-based groups to spread Russian propaganda and tampering with U.S. elections. We speak with Omali Yeshitela, chair of the African People’s Socialist Party, who describes how he was zip-tied while his home was raided. He says the FBI’s implication that their group was taking orders from the Russians is “the most ridiculous, asinine” narrative. “It’s an attack on the right of Black people,” says Yeshitela.

The Minnesota Reformer reported that MPS teachers of colors face job changes and budget cuts at a higher rate than their white counterparts. On top of that, 23 percent of teachers laid off in the 2020-21 school year were Black and brown while only making up 18 percent of the workforce.
Sounds like they were already considering race, in effect if not in intent. At a guess, white teachers tend to have more seniority due to historical hiring practices, hence less likely to be laid off than teachers of color. Sounds like an effort to confront this fact. It will not go well, since denial of systemic racism is one of the core foundations of the new fascist movement.

The best guess, at this point, is that one police officer randomly fired shots at Fanta and her family, and the other police officers, as officers often do, just started firing because they saw their partner firing.
Geez, like turkeys gobbling.

Well you see, learning about things like that would make the white students feel bad about themselves.
