Why is it not mentioned that most of the world still considers the US a hot spot, and at best will stick travelers from here into quarantine? And in most cases are still prohibiting travel.

I threw a full can of coke at Fred Phelps’ face. My aim is shit so I only knocked his stupid hat off but he knew it was me.

And let’s say that WAS true, that he did trip and fall (HE DID NOT.)

I mean, he did trip and fall...in the same way that someone might trip and fall after getting shoved down a flight of stairs.

I love how they rush forward to attack the people trying to help him.

EXACTLY! At least 20 offices had to agree to say that he tripped after WATCHING HIM GET PUSHED. That’s not 2 bad apples, that’s the whole fucking force - that’s systemic.

You left out a key element of this. The official report first stated that the man “tripped and fell”... that Is, until the video emerged.

I feel like it was pretty clear that Ellen’s question was rhetorical...

Exactly this. It is a deliberate strategy to reframe the conversation - they KNOW news outlets will pick this up, the pics will be reposted a bajillion times by the “why can’t we all just get along” idiots, and then the cops will end up looking like they’re being reasonable and any violence is the fault of the…

ALos in Wisconsin. Can we carpool?

Serious answer: Assuming the border is even open at that point, I doubt CA will openly grant refugee status to USians. It’s kinda bad optics and the US still buys CA’s oil.

there is a place at the manitoba border where people are walking in as refugees - the rcmp help them with their luggage and the such, then we house them, show them how to apply for refugee status, etc.  or you can go the legal route and apply now.  

I agree, I’m an hour away from the border myself in Maine. If that northerly wind comes calling, I might just take flight. 

Have you tried Traumeel? It’s a a pain-relief cream or gel you can get most places. Friends and I have found it helpful for severe bruising in the past, though none of it was from being hit with rubber bullets.

I’ve been Black for 40 years, I’m well aware that America has always been a repressive, oppressive and corrupt state. But to pretend that both sides are equally bad is dishonest and disingenuous.

“I’ve said it many times that Joe Biden needs to win in November, and I will phone bank as much as I possibly can to do my part to make sure that a Biden victory happens.”

Black people are being killed in the street right now and Trump is calling for the goddamn Army to shoot them in the street, but sure Jezebel, lets willfully misinterpret something Biden said. NOTICE ME, SENPAI BERNIE OwO

I’m sure you just accidentally omitted the second part of his statement, where he said, “coming at them with a knife or something.” No way you were trying to imply Joe Biden said the police are justified in shooting anyone, regardless if they are a threat or not. 

Pride started as a riot, Ivanka.

She can process however she wants, but she doesn’t have to post it. And she doesn’t need it to be 50% of a shot of her crying. It doesn’t do anything to amplify the voices in the black community. It doesn’t do anything to aid the black community. This isn’t about white people’s sadness. This is about black people…
