It has yet to dawn on all those Marie-fucking-Antoinettes that the American economy is 70% retail driven and no money means no economy.

Ever said you wouldn’t piss on someone if they were on fire?

This guy on Twitter nails just why this inability to understand ordinary Americans is such a systemic problem, and why it is caused by boomers who have been in place for far too long:

Judges don’t check the information in the warrant is true, they just decide if they believe it is believable. And a lot of times, they don’t even do that. They just sign it. They aren’t held accountable if the police get the information wrong on the warrant. The police aren’t held accountable, because the judge signed…

I use an XBox controller for my PC so I can recline and game like a nobleman.

ACAB, but “the search warrant was approved by an assistant state’s attorney and a judge” both of whom need to be named because it was their actions that enabled this invasion. “This is not the first time police failed to do basic checks that would have contradicted bad information given by an informant”, so why did…

How would defunding have spared her this horror? This is a perfect example of how the problem with policing isn’t the money, it’s the people who wear the badge.

So then we shouldn’t take any medical treatments at all based on doctors at large in the past and some in the present being trash? I just want to know what we should be asking for as a community. Like I’m not saying that shit didn’t happen. There are quiet a few shit doctors with memorials to them that got that…

DUH! It’s not the vaccine ... it’s all the shit that happens after it’s administered. Haven’t you paid any attention at all? We are mistreated by the healthcare industry that has stupid notions in their head. Not caring if we get sick from it; thinking we can handle pain better than other humans (really stupid racist…

I think they’re just doing anything and everything to get people to please, please, please, pretty-fucking-please get the goddamned vaccine!

It is really hard to live down Tuskegee, but I don’t think black people are going to be guinea pigs this time. Front line healthcare workers are going to get the vaccine first. Many of them will be black but they all will probably be required to get it regardless of their color. It will be a few months and millions of…

I’m still a little weary of their safety, not because of any of the typical stupid anti-vax nonsense of microchips, autism, mind-control, etc., but because of the various circumstances surrounding its development. Namely, I’m worried that pressure from the Trump administration, combined with economic incentive to get…

Look I had the same feeling of this being the medical version of “my black friend” but an army of white guys would have been met with craziness too.

True, but we’d be doubly skeptical if they had nothing but old white dudes up there, so I don’t really blame them for noting there was a Black woman heavily involved.

Harriet A. Washington’s Medical Apartheid is a fascinating book that is also very difficult to read. Nothing to do with Washington’s writing, it’s the subject matter; chapter after chapter of horrors inflicted upon Black Americans in the name of science and medicine.

I'm going to say this AGAIN: if you are concerned about being held accountable for your actions, the problem is with your actions, not the accountability.

Cause you know if there was no video of that attack, those cops would be sitting in a cafe on the Champs Elysee right now eating croissants

I demand you take down that camera looking over the hen house.

I so vividly remember walking out of the movie theater after Rise of Skywalker and feeling confused. Not even the prequels did that. Sigh :( 

Not fucked up. California was an open carry state until the Black Panther Party showed up armed at the Capitol building, very peacefully by all accounts, in Sacramento, and tried to have an unscheduled face to face meeting with Governor Ronald Reagan. He managed to avoid them, but the next day, both houses of the…
