Today in Labor History March 5 1968: The first Chicano student walkout in East Lost Angeles occurred on this date. The Walkouts, or Chicano Blowouts, occurred throughout 1968 in protest of unequal conditions in Los Angeles Unified School District high schools. Chicanos were often in classes of 40 students. Teachers often treated them with contempt. Drop-out rates were high. At Garfield High School, 58% of Chicano students dropped out each year. Thousands of students participated in the Blowouts. On March 4, 1968, J. Edgar Hoover sent out a memo to law enforcement, nationwide, warning them to be extra vigilant against “nationalist” movements in “minority” communities. Harry Gamboa Jr., one of the organizers of the first walkout, was placed on the list of 100 Most Dangerous & Violent Subversives, by the US Senate Committee on the Judiciary, along with Angela Davis & Eldridge Cleaver.

For #DecRecs day 10, I rec Dropout!

It's a comedy show company run by someone who seems to treat his employees very well. I feel like the group is pretty diverse and those diversities are treated kindly, even when the joke hinges on someone being bi or something. Like, the 1 instance of fatphobia I can remember really left an impact on me for how mild it was - it was just so out of place.

And they're FUNNY. I laugh so much when I watch their shows! I especially like Game Changer, so if you want a suggestion on where to start, why not this clip of the "Dom DM" prompt (obviously, not really safe for work)? youtube.com/watch?v=Bj60InmphB Brennan is my favorite cast member. He's great.

A lot of the episodes are free on YouTube - youtube.com/@dropout - but their main platform is dropout.tv/ They encourage password sharing, so maybe you have a friend who already has a subscription! Or maybe you want to support them.

Go have fun!

I do wish that #Dropout weren't so all-in on #dimension20 stuff.
It's just not my cup of tea, & other than #DnD I just don't see an amount of videos on their service to justify me keeping my subscription going.

Having watched all of #GameChanger, #TotalForgiveness, and #MakeSomeNoise (& not even all of that last one; it's *very* uneven), I don't see anything new & interesting when I open the app ☹️

It also doesn't *help* that the app's discoverability is pretty poor! #Streaming #Comedy #Improv
