Ah yes, because one can’t be interested in sports without also sucking off the American flag. Good for her. They bring politics into these games by making every fucking game* a political stunt, then get their panties in a bunch when someone refuses to play along.

*For the non-Americans, yes every game. You can’t go to…

To be fair, supporting one white supremacist flag over another is actually relatively low on the list of Republican malfeasances.

The GQP turned their own back on the American flag when they embraced the confederate one.

“The entire point of the Olympic team is to represent the United States of America. That’s the entire point.”

The very reasons he became a cop. Licensed sadist.

Think about it. He’s gone from total freedom and a job where he’s licensed to do all kinds of things the rest of us can’t - speed, get physical with people, pull guns on them, etc, etc - to a life where he has no power, no authority, no human contact, and sits in a tiny cell 23 hours a day. That does not look like…

His face in that header is the bewildered expression of every straight white guy who came up unexpectedly against a reality they have always denied.

As someone working in mental health and who’s often careful in assigning labels, this is as perfect of a case study as you can get on Antisocial traits for someone who’s not even examined. The sadism and lack of empathy present... 

What good had he done. Shawn King isn’t the only activist that has a twitter account.

“Worth more” to whom, I wonder?

I don’t for a minute believe Shaun King is biracial; you know why? a quick DNA test would shut everyone up, but he’s never taken one.  

to your husband, I would ask “what contribution, exactly, has Shaun King made?”

I cannot imagine the pain Ms. Rice goes through on a daily basis. She must feel as though she and Tamir’s memory is being swallowed by a machine. May Tamir’s memory be a blessing to her.

His reputation is based mostly of the opinion of shallow yet well intentioned white people who think they are “doing the work” by following him on Facebook. I’ve been one of them in the past. It’s not a good look. 

20 years of taking off shoes for an incident that got no one killed.

. We’ve put up with all this laborious security theater for almost 20 years, the least we should do is bar people who have actually been proven to disrupt flights from going on more of them.

I agree- you see these same altercations happen over masks in so many places, it’s just happening more frequently on planes because the people who don’t want to follow the mask guidelines have been the most likely to fly during the pandemic. I know so many people who usually are jetting off at least once a month…

I read something that suggested a lot of people who flew the last year or so were inexperienced in traveling that way, folks who were taking advantage of the low volume/ cheap flights and their own lack of judgement to fly when other people were not. In addition to not being appropriately cautious about a deadly…

I don’t get the strong sense entitlement, the greed, the blatant selfishness, the controlling attitudes.

I saw an article that blamed the stress response of the pandemic for a lot of the aggressive behavior lately. We’ve lived a collective trauma, it’s not over, and our society isn’t set up for us to heal from this. People are massively burnt out, and it’s no excuse to be an asshole, but it’s something to consider when…
