The incentive is doing a job that isn’t working at a job where both customers and managers treat you like dirt. Have you worked one of these jobs? They’re not fun! People are rude as hell, on both sides of the counter, and all the better money does is make it so they only have to work ONE soul-crushing job in order to…

Yeah, I suppose. It makes them look like complete dicks, but then again, they’re allowed to look like dicks if they want to...

Didn’t they already get exemptions for that, though? They just have to sign a form that says they have a religious objection to paying for access to birth control, and the students can get it from someone else? So why don’t they just do that, and stop harming students who need the coverage for more important health…

Of course it will, just like the latest woman dead in her cell under police supervision will be overshadowed by the fact that she was arrested for a violent act. Sure, Ralkina Jones attacked a car containing people and was arrested for a good goddamn reason. But it wasn’t a capitol offense, and if she was showing…

This seems like a side effect of the saaaame systematic issue. Minorities are more likely to be stopped by police than whites, more likely to be arrested than whites, more likely to die in custody than whites, more likely to face police brutality than whites. The underlying issue seems to be that a great deal of…

Well, either we won’t like it, or the cop apologists won’t like it, so he’s talking truth no matter what...

I would be petrified I’d get caught in a sudden wildfire.

Look, I’m not 100% sure if that’s a troll or just a jerk, but this is not a teaching moment for him. He thinks he’s enlightening us. Don’t give him an audience he doesn’t deserve, okay?

Thank you, this topic has me a bit riled up lately, so I was worried I was coming off harsh or nutty. The reason she spent three days, I believe, is that her family was having trouble coming up with her bail. So there she is, three days in a holding cell that is designed to leave you feeling judged, uncomfortable,…

This person is a troll, please don’t let them upset you. Just flag the comment as harassment and try to ignore it. Don’t give them the attention.

I haven’t read the CNN legal analysis, but I did just google that question. And I’m completely flabbergasted. What the absolute hell?! The only traffic violations that are NOT arrestable are speeding or having an open alcohol container in your car?! Those are the things that MOST warrant an arrest! This is batshit…

Ya don’t say... I wonder.... If she did commit suicide, do you think it might have had something to do with the cops continuing to threaten and degrade her even after the cameras stopped rolling on her unlawful arrest? It sure as hell doesn’t seem likely that her treatment improved after she was secured in a cell with…

Um... Doesn’t California like to burst into flames randomly while droughting? What made a dry nasty ball of tinder seem like a good place to go for a date?

You’re right, of course. Just that all we ever seem to hear from are the dickbandits who want to stick their fingers in their children’s ears and sing church hymns... It’s honestly a shame, the crazy assholes get heard the most because they’re the only ones who won’t stop screaming!

The only family planning the religious right want is abstinence until marriage, followed by sex for procreation. So they kiiinda already have their own organization for that, it’s called church!

It’s spine-chilling to know how different our experiences of police authority are! Even when the police are black, themselves, it’s no guarantee they won’t profile you right alongside their white partners. Even though I’m white, knowing how easy it is for the police to dehumanize someone else is fucking terrifying,…

So basically, they’re not ending discrimination against gay troop leaders, but they’re no longer encouraging it. That’s what they’re saying? Good for them! Gold stars all around! /s

So many reasonable people still screwed over by recent events. If you have any more trolls to add, let me know. I just added RustyShackleford989, PyritePrincess, and redditinaction to the list.

Apologies, you’re right when it comes to most politicians. It’s the voters who decide that because PP offers abortion, nothing else they do matters. The ones who want the right to discriminate, arm themselves with ease, and see the poor stay poor because “it’s their own fault”. Or maybe it’s both them, AND the…

No, I don’t. I’m a lay person, not an acedemic, and I don’t feel like google-hopping this early in the morning to satisfy a coontown enthusiast. Go do your own research, I suggest looking somewhere other than reddit.
