Police officers seem truly insane.... I don’t know how they can defend these tactics.

So much commonality in violence against women and violence against protestors:

“You should believe me when I tell you I’m a nice guy and won’t hurt you.” = “You should believe me when I tell you I’m a cop and won’t hurt you.”

A) I don’t know you. You could be anyone.
B) Never trust anyone who says “Trust me; it’s OK.”

Sorry for the length, but I’m trying to be as even-keeled as possible, because these kinds of conversations always suck.

I won’t comment about Heard, because I’m still on the fence about her and want to actively refrain from allowing any biases to interfere with my determination, but Depp? I think the texts alone are pretty telling. There is LITERALLY NEVER any excuse to speak about women like this:

Yeah, instantly thought of this line from a now-old splinter article:

He just looks like a guy that has paid for a girfriend’s abortion and didn’t go with her or support her in any way.  Probably sent a text saying: “report back”

Would love to also see more coverage of all of the hard work abortion rights advocates are doing, and the many successes we are seeing. More people support abortion than not, would be great to see coverage reflect this!

Guarantee he’s orchestrated at least one abortion for a former girlfriend or current mistress. I was going to say paid for, but no... he was probably just owed a favor or something shadowy. 

He’s on a “constant journey” to figure out how to not talk about his dick at work?

In what universe does the President of the United States send good wishes to someone accused of procuring under age girls for convicted pedophiles?

Ghislaine Maxwell is the Cool Girl of pedophilia and sex trafficking.

Many Republican/conservative lawmakers tend to be very competent and evil. But what do you expect when their entire platform is based on people not giving a shit about what happens to someone else.

Somebody made some comment recently that it’s been X many decades “since we’ve had a competent Republican in the executive branch.” I think they were tracing back to Eisenhower maybe? My first thought was Dick Cheney was competent. He was very competent, but also very evil.

I’ve got 20 years on you, and having lived through the Dick Dynasty 2000-2008, I will say this: the Cheneys are truly horrible. But they’re not stupid. 

Look I’m going to be 25 next month I’ve already survived Covid with no complications and I have my whole life ahead of me but with all that in mind I still never thought I’d live to see the day when a fucking CHENEY is the Republican party’s voice of reason. God this country’s fucked...

The problem is that these folks don’t want a white paradise that excludes people of color, they want to subjugate us, exploit us for cheap labor and culture while denying us of equality. That’s their utopia. 

Hubby is another one, along with Hubs

The amount of projection is staggering. He spent the last 20 years of his life doing shit like this to explain away his own sense of inadequacy. I guess it’s not really surprising that facing the end of his own life pushed him over the edge. Cancer was one final misdeed against him in his own toxic mind.

Den Hollander described her and other Latinas as “usually a problem” and “driven by an inferiority complex.”

The decision by Canadian authorities to lay terror charges in the case of a deadly stabbing believed to be fuelled by a hatred of women could finally force a reckoning of the country’s definition of terrorism. The charges announced Tuesday in connection with the killing of 24-year-old Ashley Noell Arzaga at a Toronto…
