Kinda wishing I hadn't quit that political mailing list that's full of Georgia alums. This should be a fun week.

Holman CF, Atmore, Al. September 24, 2016.

Last night at Holman prison an emergency situation developed as ALL of the officers assigned to the second shift waged a historic work strike for the first time in the history of the Alabama Department of Corrections.

Assistant Commissioner Grantt Culliver was dispatched to the prison, where he then had to order supervisors from another prison, Atmore CF, to report to Holman prison just to be able to serve meals. The officers at Holman, who have been defying ADOC policy and speaking publicly to the media, had communicated their plans to F.A.M. members, and expressed their support for non-violent and peaceful demonstrations against the human rights conditions existent at Holman.

Officers have also complained about overcrowding and the need for a mass release, more education and rehabilitation programs, as well as issues with disease and filth. Officers reserved their harshest criticism towards the Commissioner's officer and what they perceive as a lack leadership from Commissioner Dunno and Culliver...

You'd think when the guards walk off too, that that would be news. So far... no.

The books Texas prisons ban

Quote:

Then there are books banned for what TDCJ calls “racial content,” such as The Narrative of Sojourner Truth, the Texas football classic Friday Night Lights, Flannery O’Conner Everything That Rises Must Converge, and Lisa Belkin’s Show Me a Hero, which depicts the struggle to desegregate housing in Yonkers, New York in the face of institutional racism.

But don’t worry: Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf, David Duke’s Jewish Supremacism, and the Nazi Aryan Youth Primer are all kosher. (Clark would not directly respond regarding this issue.)

“Texas is less rational than other states,” says Michelle Dillon

Quote:

A collection of Shakespeare’s sonnets and a collection of Leonardo DaVinci’s sketches have both been banished in Texas for sexual content (the Shakespeare edition had a painting with nudity on the cover) while a book like The Pleasure’s All Mine, filled with descriptions of kinky sex made it through.

Reminds me of one book we read in 8th grade that was labeled as a 3rd grade reading level. The title was a cutesy-nickname and the picture was a cartoon girl in a wheelchair, but the book was about a girl who got into a car accident and became handicap and had suicidal and homicidal thoughts along with descriptions of sex. Our teacher told us the people who assigned the reading level probably only looked at the title and cover picture.

Yep, white power rhetoric feeling very empowered right now. This is just the trickle before the dam burst if Trump gets elected.

The dam is bursting regardless. If the white nationalist wing of the Republican Party becomes convinced that it can't succeed via elections, then some members will seek non-electoral means of changing the dynamic.

Wow on that happening and also on it still not being much of a story.

Not sure I understand where the Trojan Horse analogy works probably because it's hard to wrap around an analogy where the white nationalists are the clever ones and someone else is the sucker.

It will probably go both ways in the 2020 primary and we'll have some East Coast old money republican wearing cowboy boots and shouting "White Power" and David Duke wearing a Brooks Brother's suit and doing his best imitation of someone who knows things.

(Pardon my use of Brooks Bros there if it doesn't have the right connotation. I know very little about suits.)

In other "lol California" news, CA has dropped greenhouse gas emissions by 10% from their 2004 peak. Don't worry, we'll drag the rest of you with us eventually.

And that's with about a 10% increase in population.

And in that picture of the guy bringing up the solar panel --- smh, you just hand it up on a one story. Dude on the roof is wearing a harness, but the rope is in the way and just about under his foot. That guy on the ladder off with his leg flying off. smh. Those guys are probably on disability by now.

We're 5 parts in now and there's still nothing to this story but conjecture. Wacky.
