It isn’t what he will do if elected that is the problem is if he gets elected it might give the Democrats a type of candidate that they may struggle against in elections.  Not that Democrats ever pay attention to what works.

It’s not about training, it’s not about reform, it’s not about diverse hiring. Any efforts to do these things are worthless due to the entire manner in which police departments operate. At some point y’all really need to get it through your heads: you cannot reform this and throw more and more money for nebulous…

saying instead that the teen “may have been also involved in some of the fire exchange,” possibly “firing back at the deputies.”

If this woman is a descendent of the stolen generation, hell, if she’s friends with people who were, she has every right to call out the end of QE2 as a good day.

Honestly, we all have the right to openly criticise the Royal Family. Even though here in the UK, 4 peaceful protestors have been arrested for being meanies…

People think of these wars and colonial violence as some way off past thing and not something people are still dealing with and something that people who are still alive very much remember. And the ‘Well the Queen didn’t have much control over it” takes are just.... the word “control” is doing a lot of work there....…

She was talking about British machinations leading to genocide in her country during the queens reign. The queen is the head of state. She may be a figure head. But she took on the responsibility of the office. She enjoyed the perks of the office, she doesn’t get to be excused for things her foreign policy office and…

Thank you! People who probably can’t identify the UK on a map, let alone Nigeria seem to have a lot to say about British imperial geopolitics. 

Indian Twitter coming hot too.

The woman lost multiple family members in the British-backed Nigerian genocide and had to flee the country with her parents as a child. This is less “Look at me” and much more “Look at what Elizabeth Windsor’s reign is responsible for.”

Saw a lot of good takes over in Asian Twitter as well.  Basically fuck the colonizer

Nah the “Look at me!” came from the billionaire who found a regular person’s tweet and used it to pretend to be moral and ethical

Hey India also has a SERIOUS bone to pick with the British Empire or what’s left of it. Along with the Indigenous people from around the world. You really want to know what broke them. HITLER with his war machine. The Empire was already in a weaken state. But HITLER cause the final blow to the Empire.

Eh, you can, especially when one side wages entire social media wars on the basis of being allowed their own free speech rights to be violent, racist pieces of shit. Don’t mind me, I’m happy to be a hypocrite if that’s what it makes me. 

Bush Jr was the worse one though, his war ended up killing anywhere from one million to two million Iraqis. (Some less reliable estimates go even higher). So maybe it’s more like taking delight in Biden dying when he’s the one pulling back from overseas invasions because Bush Jr did Iraq 2?

This is absolutely insane. The republicans have conveniently forgotten the very definition of a republic is to shun monarchs. Anything for a chance to shit on some brown/black people.

Fuck em.

Nah. What’s disgusting is what the British empire has done to billions of people in African and other indigenous nations DURING her rule. Not one apology during the entire time, or one ounce of remorse. So for literally everyone else, it’s fuck the queen. Don’t care if you don’t like it.

What?! A racist state is letting black people suffer?!

Democrats are backing anti choice candidates in 2022 over pro choice candidates.  

Establishment Democrats cared more about making themselves rich and hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein than making the lives of people better and protecting the rights of vulnerable people. This is the result. If you aren’t furious with Establishment Democrats you don’t understand politics.
