To put it simply, we don’t send people with guns to shoot fires.

Isn’t the answer that the good police officers work from within the system to bring about systemic change and root out corruption?

The issue I take with you statement is that no-one had to risk going homeless except for our idiotic policies. It was a choice made for us by the top end of government that has zero empathy or ability to understand how normal people live. The fact that anyone thought a one time $1200 payment would do anything is plain

We can’t let people go homeless because they’re out of work (or can’t run their own businesses) because they’re being locked down.”

And yet... had we done what other countries done and froze mortgage payments, credit card payments, car payments, and supplied people with money to live through robust social safety net,

My favorite part is when she says that homosexuals are labeling themselves as trans to escape homophobia. Because being trans is so much more acceptable than being gay, right? How do you actually type that in a blog post and not realize how ridiculous that sounds?

*looks around*

Oh, well, if the stock market is doing fine, I’ll just feed my kids with that instead of income from the job I no longer have.

ok, i like #solidaritea, i admit it.  oddly enough, though, i don’t like tea.

The police union said they quit in solidarity.

The fact that 57 cops in 1 DIVISION of 1 department quit that division (but not their jobs as cops, sadly...) in support of the animals who nearly killed (or killed...it remains to be seen if he’ll even lived through this) Gugino should completely destroy the “good cop” narrative. I say “should”, but it probably won’t.

I still can’t get over those officers resigning. What do they think it shows besides them standing up for the right of the police to assault anyone at any time? 

That situation was beautiful. I remember the right-wing breathlessly hyped that a video was about to drop that was so damning it would force AOC to resign. Then it was... that.

Jon Stewart needs to come back and finish what he started: ending Tucker Carlson forever

My county entered the “green” phase of the lockdown yesterday.

Idris Elba had it too, right? So, every movie could be some buddy film built around those two...and I’d be OK with that.

Now that he’s immune to the virus, I expect every single movie for the next year or two will be starring Tom Hanks.

Ben and Jerry have been playing four-dimensional chess with whipped cream and sprinkles, and we have no choice but to stan with every fiber of our beings.

It’s cute the way some people still think America can be saved.

Exactly. Stop expecting him to change. He’s not going to. It’s like the Rock’s “powerful message” from the other day where kept asking “Where are you?” to an unspoken president. Misplaced effort. There is nothing that will ever be said to Trump that will make him a better person. He’s rotten. The only hope is to vote

First, we call upon President Trump...
