Imagine this: the people who can’t deal with a political message in a song, a football player kneeling, a gay character being cast in a TV show, or a woman in a WW2 game, are the same ones accusing liberals of being snowflakes.

A thread on the power of chlorides.

A&E pulled Live PD from their schedule and say they’re “evaluating”. Hopefully it dies too.

Especially since they filmed a dude being killed and pretended nothing out of the ordinary happened.

4783

Truth.

…and then deleted the evidence. Jesus.

I don’t think we get this public support without Trump turning a lot of white moderates to the left and more accepting of diversity. It would have been too easy to keep the mask on otherwise.

The NZ police yesterday announced that their trial of arming the police was not going to be continued. (which with my being extremely generous about people intentions hat on, was as a response to the terror attack in Christchurch).

Turns out that when the ethnicity data from the trial was examined…

The majority of New Zealand’s population is of European descent (70 percent), with the indigenous Māori being the largest minority (16.5 percent), followed by Asians (15.3 percent), and non-Māori Pacific Islanders (9.0 percent).

There’s work to be done everywhere by everyone.

So apparently the police can just illegal slash tires but… you know it’s not illegal for them because of made up reasons.

Also the title is another bullshit title. They didn’t deflate tires. They slashed them, with knives.

A friend of mine recommended this film and it’s quite a different perspective on how the prison system and the 13th amendment’s exception clause have continued to enslave black people.

Highly recommended. On netflix.
