Quite frankly one fewer #BoardingSchool in #England is a *good* thing (I'm a survivor of these places) - even if they are no longer as much the #safeguarding and #abuse nightmare they were in 1980s, they still embed the fucked up class system that causes many of the long term problems in our country..

The way the system is supposed to work is that if a US President is clearly corrupt and committing 'high crimes and misdemeanors' and repeatedly failing to uphold his Oath to the Constitution, then Congress is supposed to step in and put a stop to it.

So at this point in the Trump administration, these two spineless enablers are responsible for allowing Trump's blatant #Fraud, #Waste, and #Abuse to continue.

Prayer pushes back against those who deny abuse at residential schools
Across Canada, the search for unmarked graves of children at residential schools has sparked deep feelings of loss and trauma for Indigenous people. A prayer for those children, written as a poem, was recently performed by an opera singer in Halifax. As the CBC's Elizabeth Chiu reports, they are words that bring honour and healing.

If you piss me off, you can always pay to talk to me again. #sweat #abuse #dfw #fartfetish

I'm sitting here staring at the screen, because there's something I want to say but at the same time I don't want to say it.

Basically I'm being abused at work. This isn't a new experience for me. I've been abused at a number of workplaces. In fact, that basically seems to be the norm under capitalism.

Or maybe it's just me. My mother was very abusive, and so was my ex-wife. Maybe somehow I'm asking for it, I don't know.

But I'm having a really hard time being essentially abused by my boss for something that wasn't my fault, or mostly wasn't. I guess I shouldn't go into the details, but basically he's being a complete bastard and expecting me to psychically predict the future or something in order to avoid problems.

I've busted my ass to get things right, and I even pointed out something that I was concerned about which he basically brushed off. Sure enough, a week later it turned out that my worries had been correct and that my boss had been dead wrong. Does he admit that? No. He basically blames me for everything at this point.

I'm on his shit list. And since I've had pretty bad anxiety all my life, this is really not working for me. I also happen to be changing anti-anxiety meds, so there's that, too.

He's wrong; I know that. And I'm reasonably sure that he can't fire me, because there's nobody else at the company who knows the things that I do—things that they absolutely need to have done. Although they certainly don't pay me what I'm worth!

I'm just really tired of all this. Tired of being scared. Tired of the abuse. Tired of having to worry every day about money, because they won't pay me what I'm worth.

Workers at my company asked for cost of living adjustments. The CEO basically told them to go pound sand. We really need a union, but I can't find any way to make that happen.

I really hate this. Just wanted to say that and get it off my chest. This has not been a good enough life, and I think we all deserve better.

He was four years older than me. We did what he wanted. He kept me pretty scared, so I was happy when he was occupied.

#Cops Keep Getting Arrested for Using #Flock to #Stalk #People

The known cases of #police #stalking are almost certainly a vast underreporting of the overall #abuse, because they largely include only cases in which the behavior was so egregious that it led to police officers being fired, arrested, or both.

‘BusPatrol’ Put #AI #Cameras in Tens of Thousands of #School #Buses. Now They Want to Give #Cops #Access

#BusPatrol is aware of the #controversy around #ALPR cameras, and particularly of the concern that #ICE may gain access to the data, according to the BusPatrol documents ...

The danger here, aside from the misuse of data, is above all that children grow up with this and come to see it as normal to be constantly monitored by cameras. A society under constant surveillance develops differently. It is more conformist, less critical, and very keen on blending into the crowd unnoticed and not standing out. This is exactly what the ruling elite wants: a society that silently endures everything because it fears #repression through the cameras.

‘BusPatrol’ Put AI Cameras in Tens of Thousands of School Buses. Now They Want to Give Cops Access

BusPatrol plans to scan the license plates of all vehicles the buses drive past, and then let law enforcement search that data. The plan would essentially turn school buses into roaming surveillance vehicles.
