Or here’s another one (because the issue is so damned large):

The police voluntarily reported shooting over 1000 civilians last year. VOLUNTARILY which means those are the shootings they wanted on record, in the manner they wanted those shootings to be recorded. In the past several years, MULTIPLE police ‘official’ reports have been completely contradicted, even up to including…

What’s missing from this judgment is *PUNITIVE* consequences against Nintendo, *AND* the firm that filed it, for taking unjust actions. Corporations and law firms turning the US’s legal system into a playground for the ethically bankrupt and morally corrupt need to be nuked from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

That’s what’s known as *CHERRY PICKING*. One instance is not a trend. The trend is the complete opposite. Sometimes what’s also called “The exception that proves the rule.”

External, independent audits show that the police’s *SELF-REPORTED* records are *WILDLY* inaccurate — intentionally so — when it comes to this issue. And more to the point, ‘unarmed’ before or after the individual was shot? Because that’s *ALSO* something that independent audits have demonstrated goes wildly…

It’s questionable if the police would have even tried to deescalate the situation first, or even use non-lethal weapons and tactics. It’s far more likely they would have jumped straight to shooting bullets into people the moment a mob of angry black people refused to comply with their commands to vacate the area.…

...it does not necessarily mean it’s a duck. There are plenty of other waterfowl matching that description. And they’re not ducks.

Governments, especially those under the thumbs of Republicans, have absolutely no problem spending public dollars enriching, beautifying, and improving wealthy white suburbs, so fuck off with your bullshit excuses.

Even then, governors and mayors *STILL* have to go through the local and state representatives to do anything — the *SAME* people who approve these attacks on people of color and the poor, ie Republicans. Governors and mayors are figureheads. They only have as much power as the rest of the government LET’S them have.…

No. It wasn’t *designed* to corrupt and destroy society. Corporations and the corporate laws they operate under were expressly intended to empower, enrich, and protect the wealthy and powerful. Unfortunately, the only way to go about creating that level of gross inequality ultimately corrupts and destroys the core…

Republicans are responsible. I mean, it’s almost a foregone conclusion: if black people, people of color, or poor people are getting screwed, hurt, having their lives destroyed, or killed, Republicans are invariably the ones orchestrating it. Sometimes it’s not intentional but just a byproduct of serving the only…

The ‘beauty’ of laws is that they can *CHANGE*. They’re not immutable, permanent, or set in stone. Sometimes they change because a law or a set of laws are terrible. Sometimes because some greedy, self-serving f***wits decide to screw society over to serve themselves. Indeed, it is when laws are *NOT* changing that…

Mergers almost *NEVER* serve the public good. In fact, most of the time, they cause substantial social *HARM* over the long term. As such, not only should the default response to merger requests be *NO* but when they are permitted, they should have *PERMANENT* safeguards in place to ensure that the combined entity can…

It sounds more and more like Henry dodged a bullet with Gunn’s DC reboot. They’re going to tell Superman’s ‘origin’ for the umpteenth time...as if there’s anyone left on Earth who doesn’t already know it and hasn’t seen it at least once before.

“There is no room in the hallowed halls of Congress or in any place of honor for memorializing men who embody the violent bigotry and grotesque racism of the Confederacy...”

So..unions for ‘labor’ are ‘bad’ but unions for ‘corporations’ are ‘good.’ Smells like hypocrisy to me. No wonder Republicans and Corporations get along so well....

Just remember: if you’re going to steal, don’t steal from the wealthy. Those petty, vindictive motherfuckers have the ear of their governments, and they absolutely will use their governments to destroy you. Better off stealing from the poor. Nobody with any power or authority to hold you accountable gives a shit about…

You’re fooling yourself if you think this AI and automation drive isn’t going to beat out ‘traditional’ artists for anything but the purists and people doing it just for fun. Because the reality is that the demand for the *PRODUCT* of ‘creativity’ vastly exceeds what people are willing to pay for it in the quantity…

Wouldn’t be the first time government officials have targeted people of color in ways similar to this to surreptitiously steal their home and property. And we’re not even talking ‘in the past’ kind of thing of generations ago. No, this kind of shit happened recently. I recall an incident of an official artificially…

So much this. A lot of these kinds of laws and policies might not target black people *directly* but the intention behind them remains wholly focused on causing social, economic, and financial harm to black people. Things like Redlining and Anti-Black HOAs are unconstitutional in today’s America, but that hasn’t…
