Can you give me a list of crimes that carry the death penalty without a trial in the United States?

Setting aside the fact that it seems to be one white woman who did this and not “protesters,” like what the fuck has ever gotten politicians and leaders and the public at large to take BLM seriously? If everyone is worried their business might burn if the police murder someone at it, maybe they’ll start wanting the…

We have only really had one “incident” at the protests in New Orleans, and it was followin gsome drunk white crust punks trying to pick a fight with the police while the black organizers on megaphones tried to get them to stop. The police should never have used tear gas and rubber bullets on the crowd, but those…

I don’t trust that Stephen Fucking Miller wasn’t well aware, though.

Right? Even if China engineered this as a bioweapon - basically the most anti-China stance I’ve seen out there - WHY IS THE US GOVERNMENT JUST NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THAT? WHY ARE WE BEING ATTACKED AND KILLED BY A FOREIGN COUNTRY ON OUR OWN SOIL AND THE PRESIDENT IS JUST TELLING US TO PROCEED AS NORMAL BECAUSE…

Also like...if China caused this...why wouldn’t the US government...respond...

And not even when said plutocrat can make more money later!!!

Glad you have the option! I hope that when we “reopen” my husband has that option. I already work from home so I am lucky there. I am mostly concerned with my parents, who are not Trump morons but who will see all their buddies having fun and decide that it’s fine now because their governors say so. Aghghaghahgh stay…

Right? Like, can’t even try to mitigate the economic damage because they only care about the RIGHT NOW. Over and over.

Not one person saying this thinks they will be the one to die. Do not resume any of your regular activity - if you have the privilege not to - until three weeks after you see Dan Fucking Patrick shaking hands in a crowd.

I managed to terrify one into thinking she would have to quarantine when he got back. Which is all perfectly possible. Anyway, that’s my strategy for combatting that specific fuckery.

Yeah I am anxious but not in full freakout mode, but I’m not going to apologize for just following basic instructions that don’t really inconvenience me that much right now. Washing hands? Sure, I’ll do it. Social distancing? I can do that. But if I talk to someone less freaked out than me, I’m “overreacting,” and if…

Found this good Twitter thread from a nurse with info on what to do if you get the virus. Edit - looks liek that person locked down their Twitter. To summarize, it was basically: if you’re not in a high risk category, do not go to the ER unless you are having trouble breathing. Stock up on generalized stuff you’d get…

Hope so but they have prevailed for over a century, haha. Don’t underestimate the youth’s ability to be racist.

Yeah and I realize there are Confederate sympatthizers all over the country, but when it’s your OWN history - all the buildings and street names and society organizations and fucking everything around you - it’s a different animal.

I was also (mostly) raised in SC - live in Louisiana now. I think white people from outside the south truly do not understand how ingrained in our culture the Confederacy is. It’s disgusting. 

You act as if Barr isn’t thrilled to carry out these orders!

LOL Europe colonizes the entire earth, enslaves and terrorizes its people for a thousand years, and you’re gonna make THIS comment? I’ll never defend Americans’ racial history - but let’s not act like we didn’t fucking get it from somewhere. It wasn’t Americans who landed in the US (or Africa, or Australia, or the…

In Louisiana, we have somewhat strange laws about masking your face - basically, it’s only allowed if it’s a holiday (like Halloween or Mardi Gras), you’re in a parade, or it’s a religious thing. I’ve never really heard about them being enforced. Anyway, I used to think this was weird, and probably didn’t help fight…

Yeah, I grew up in SC where they are OBSESSED with the fact that they were first to secede from the Union. I’m not exactly sure how this happened but I was always skeptical of their version of Civil War education - like I remember essay questions where I had to list all the reasons that the Civil War wasn’t actually…
