Elmer "Geronimo" Pratt, born on this day in 1947, was a decorated military veteran and a high-ranking associate of the Black Panther Party in the United States in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He moved to Los Angeles, where he studied at UCLA under the GI Bill and began working with the Black Panther Party. Pratt was also a target of the FBI's COINTEL program, which sought to subvert black power movements.
In 1972, Pratt was wrongfully convicted for murder and served 27 years in prison, eight of which were in solitary confinement. Pratt was freed in 1997 when his conviction was vacated due to the prosecution concealing wiretaps that proved he was not at the scene of the murder.
"You can't look back twenty-seven years and say it was a lost. I’m still living. I run about five miles every morning, and I can still bench press 300 pounds ten times. I can give you ten reps. Also I hope I'm a little more intelligent and I'm not crazy. It's a hell of a gain that I survived."

Basically just walked into a place and got the job instantly.
My boomer dad was right. That's literally how it works. :wojak-nooo:
They said "good vibes only," but the vibes were indeed bad. :sadness:
It would be so on brand for me to finally land a decent paying job only for society to completely collapse from the weight of hyperinflation, climate change, and fascist horniness.
I need a social media and dating app but only for losers. Yeah I’m MLM, a Marxist Loser Millenial.
My job search took about five minutes. You're looking at a fancy pizza cook who works like two buildings away from my house. Turns out the chef and me have several friends in common

Man Wmill you sound like a cool family guy, the way you always seem to mention helping them out and all.
Strangers pls don't start suddenly having a conversation with me because I accidentally made eye contact
There's a house I pass regularly on my commute which is always flying a pride banner. "Well, that's pretty cool," I think to myself.
Around election season they had some "Vote for Biden" shit underneath it. Lamentable, but I understand. Soon that was replaced with another banner that said "𝔚𝔢 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔓𝔢𝔬𝔭𝔩𝔢" in rainbow text. This person is clearly a turbolib.
Today, the "𝔚𝔢 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔓𝔢𝔬𝔭𝔩𝔢" banner was replaced with a thin blue line flag. Fucking liberals man. Every time. :doomjak:
help me my globpol prof called me a bernie bro im so fucking offended i've been owned by a fucking lib
I bet it'd be really easy to kick the shit out of Vaush
I'm in the type of mood where I open a video, watch 30 seconds, open another video, again watch 30 seconds, go back watch the other one, open social media, open hexbear, watch another video for 30 seconds, open blender but not committing to doing anything in it really. jezus.
