Damn your right, I checked it. They donated/raised almost one billion to republicans in 16 but only for Senate and house races. Then another half a billion approximately in 2018 midterms, but Trump was not running then.

Even HuffPo can't help but give the Koch's "powerful" and "political network" in the byline. Rather than words/phrases like; shadowy, ultra conservative, anti-union, dark money, teaparty backers, anti-public services, climate deniers, or surely other creative options.
Think about the absolute demon that right-wing media turned George Soros into, why can't left leaning outlets bring themselves to do the same for these sociopaths?

yea im sensing many pivots, combined w all this balloon and documents shit they are having meeting over this week and various people getting brave enough to speak against the grain. tbh, if they were really smart, having a number of folk pivot to a moderate/centrist stance could prove to be quite valuable. Theyve known for 10 years they need to do that to survive but doubled down w the donnie shit and now its fuckin up all their good gigs.

Agreed. Also their food is garbage. It would be really neat if schools could hire local people to make food in house, instead of buying this overproduced stuff. It would also in highschools be a good work study period (or whatever they call it when seniors with space in their schedules can either shadow and help a teacher/admin or get a job) but I understand logistics/money etc makes this difficult, especially in poorer or more crowded school districts

That would require changes to how federal funding happens for schools but as a former teacher? A lot of people working in the schools want that change too. It's also why ending the contract isn't likely to happen. This is just sad and part of the broken system.

This will require a different government where I live but the majority of people want that. The problem is the system doesn't force the government to actually represent the will of the people. Which is the dumbest thing when the propaganda about how awesome the place is relies on that as a sales tactic. The other option for me would be to live where it's illegal for me to be myself and with a dictatorship so I will happily stay here I just will also call the bullshit out to try and make enough incentive for change to happen.

My high school had a “soul food” day on the day of our black history month celebration. No stereotypical watermelon or cool-aid though, just more authentic soul food, including fried chicken. Was one of the tastiest meals for sure. Our head cafeteria guy also wore a fake mustache and sombrero when they served Mexican for cinco de mayo.

Well, that's all fun. This is fried chicken, waffles, and watermelon.
We had soul food day in NC in the 00s. It was fried chicken, black eyed peas, mustard greens, and something else. We all looked forward to it.

Wait, what?? My mom is from Mississippi and my dad is from Louisiana. They moved north when I was a baby so I grew up a yank. It's a weird feeling learning something I thought was common is actually very regional. On the other side of that same feeling I like my grits with fig preserves like my grandmom from Louisiana made for me. Didn't learn about grits with salt and butter until I moved to a rough neighborhood in Philly.

But this isn't the first time Aramark found itself in hot water. Back in 2018, another racially insensitive meal was served at New York University during Black History Month. It included barbecued ribs, collard greens, cornbread, Kool-Aid and watermelon-flavored water. When called out, the company apologized and workers were fired.

I had the same reaction when i first heard loving watermelon is a racist trope. I mean, who doesn’t love watermelon??? How can this be a stereotype about Black people when everyone eats watermelon? On a hot day, eating cold watermelon is such a treat. Such an asshole way to ruin the enjoyment of one of nature’s best creations for Black people who can’t just eat something without it being turned into racial slurs.

I did too, because watermelon is probably my favorite fruit, but that's a well known racist trope... I've known about it for at least three decades.
Fried chicken + watermelon is clearly (to me) something you should not serve to celebrate Black history. It's not as bad as celebrating it with a noose on the tree outside but it's in the same genre of things.

Agreed that it is a racist trope. I’m not denying it. Just saying that I don’t understand why/how it is a racist trope when everyone loves watermelon. Racism is so awful and even though this is trivial in comparison to nooses or violence, it’s evidence of how it turns what ought to be innocent human actions (like eating watermelon) into pain. I wish we could all just eat watermelon without the layers of nastiness.
