Acting and modeling are the only occupations I can think of outside of sex work where people get naked and intimate with their coworkers. I would think that any person with good intentions would welcome a neutral third party being present to ensure that everything is on the up-and-up. Directors and film crews are not…

He said some “great replacement”-type stuff about Muslims taking over Europe. People like that are at minimum kind of racist, but he’s probably just more of an idiot who doesn’t understand what he’s saying than a full-on white supremacist. But maybe he’s a full-on white supremacist.

If ensuring a black woman doesn’t become governor won’t do it, I highly doubt promising segregated schools would. I might be wrong, but I doubt it, since no serious politician has run as openly pro-segregation in roughly 50 years. Republicans have already stirred up the racist hornets nest about as far as it can go…

It’s all a game to people like her. She doesn’t have deeply-held conservative beliefs, or any beliefs at all. She just says the awful things that her side wants her to say, and honestly doesn’t understand why that’s a problem to people with actual scruples.

They’d never get a conviction, and while there are grounds to impeach at least two sitting right-wing justices, the right would just rally around them because they’re immune to facts (and morality, and decency, and honesty). I’m not saying it shouldn’t be done - it absolutely should, and Dems should wield the fucking…

The French in the late 18th and early 19th centuries had some pretty good ideas about how to set things right.

Someone confirm to me why Chris Wray is not in prison.

Those people were already not going to vote for Stacey Abrams under any circumstances.

I came here to say something similar. I think the writer thought that “anachronistic” means “set in another time period”, which is not what it means.

Most of the time when cops are called they don’t help anyone. They at best take a report or complaint that gets filed away and forgotten; at worst they shoot and kill the person they were called to help.

Seems more likely to me that no competent lawyer would agree to represent him, so he got what he got.

That was the system working as intended, and explicitly what they want to get back to.

“Do you think society has gotten much better since the social and sexual revolutions of the 1960s? Or has it gotten a little bit worse? Are we in a period of ascendancy or a period of decline?”

As always, every accusation from these fucks is a confession.

I feel like our side isn’t doing enough to hammer home the point that discrimination against LGBTQ+ people is inherently sex discrimination. It’s the exact same thing feminists have been fighting against forever. The line between “girls can’t play sports, sports are for boys” and “girls can’t marry girls, marrying…

I also like to invent people to be mad at.

It obviously never wound up mattering much, since everyone eventually sold out anyway (and many/most already had then too), but I also remember the 90's anti-poser, anti-sellout ethos. It’s super hard to even explain that to today’s generation. Imagine today’s “influencers” in the 90s. You can’t do it.

“The evidence showed that Kueng genuinely thought that Mr. Floyd was suffering from excited delirium with a drug overdose, and Thao genuinely believed that the officers were dealing with a drug overdose with possible excited delirium”

I completely agree, but I still don’t believe in the death penalty. If it is going to be used, it should 100% only apply to cops, prison guards, judges, and elected officials. Also, anyone with an annual income in the top 1% of the country.

It’s insane that involvement in law enforcement results in lighter sentences, when cops/guards/etc who commit crimes should have their sentences doubled or tripled compared to what anyone else did. This guard is going to get a slap on the wrist when he should be shot dead and left to rot in the street.
