Miss me with this bull shit. Asking people to not burn shit  and steal isn’t that big of an ask. If you don’t know how to act then I don’t need to be at a protest.

So the Instagram person is the bad person here and the looters are innocent victims. Cool cool cool totally normal thoughts you have there.

Why are you lumping in people who are protesting peacefully with people who are stealing shit? Seriously?

“particularly if they’re doing something technically unlawful”

The writers are basically trolling us now. Times are tough. Hot takes increase rage clicks. That’s the only thing I can think of. It’s easy to romanticize the past, but holy shit has the quality of this blog gone downhill. 

No, I agree. If you watch Trevor, you will see that he is talking about why we should not be shocked at the looting of the Target.

“No offense to electoral politics, but—actually, wait. No. Full offense to electoral politics!!!! Telling people to respond to state-sponsored racist violence by registering to vote so that they can participate in an election five months from now is fucking useless, Gagá!”

Seriously. What the hell is going on with this site? Gaga is looking at the big picture. What a fucked up thing to criticize right now — you can support the Minnesota Freedom Fund *and* register to vote.

The protests and riots are short-term. Voting has long-term consequences. Maybe don’t police people’s reactions, or know that there’s several things that can be done (and none of them are wrong), but don’t be so short-sighted.

Why is getting people registered to vote “fucking useless?” It might not be the most satisfying, immediate solution, but it is an important part of the entire picture here.

The riots are understandable demonstrations of righteous, justified anger and I think people sitting on the sidelines using this to derail the real conversation about police brutality are acting in bad faith, but no, a riot isn’t a revolution.

I mean, if you don’t cut it off, how else can you make it misleading enough to rile people up?

All reopenings are not reopenings. California’s plan is to allow some curb-side pickup at some retail stores; a far cry from Georgia “fuck, ya’ll want to get our hair did and go bowling?” reopening. 

Thank you! The parallel is asinine. California is opening up incrementally. We aren’t “open” as of Friday. Basically retail is being allowed to operate the way restaurants have been operating during SIP. People are still working from home if they can. Schools are still closed. No salons, no in-store non-essential shopp…

Can someone help me out... the people that think the virus is fake, do they think

Follow local places on social media and you’ll find out pretty quickly. 

And if it weren’t for Car Talk, there wouldn’t be Cawfee Tawk. So, there’s also that.

Time to break out the tofu recipes.
