I don’t read it as particularly accusatory. The only thing that could make the tone clearer is specifically mentioning they were friends, but the headline is already pretty long and referring to her simply as his “trans friend” that could read as sarcastic while further diminishing her presence in the story of her own…

“Collective action” happened a couple of times in history, and we got Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot.

Not everyone gets an equal chance in the world, and I think that’s a natural law that we choose not to accept.

But getting back to the point, this is still the best and only realistic route to take, because it offers the best odds of protecting your own interests.

The hammer of reality has clearly not come crashing down on you before in life, in which case consider yourself extremely privileged.

Being a “race traitor” is punishable by death to some of these Dominionist/Supremacist assholes. I don’t know if Saul here fully understood the danger he was putting himself in, but I’ve encountered people who would be happy to kill me if they thought they could get away with it.

You go back far enough on any timeline and you can find some dead person to blame for any problem in the world.

I can’t be mad at him, but at this point it isn’t about him.

As to the group chat, you can bet that discussions like this among white people are common when they think they are in a safe space.

Apparently, in the Dallas Fort Worth area “minding your business inside your own home while black” is a capital offense that the police are all too excited to enforce.

Police found a gun in the bedroom of the home, but body camera footage does not show anyone holding or pointing a gun at the time of the shooting aside from the officer who fired the deadly shot.

So they can’t be sued by some crazy American extremist nut job who feels “mah free speech” was infringed upon? As I’ve seen it, you can get sued (and potentially lose) for just about everything over here.

We’ve stopped “exporting freedom and democracy”, and we’ve begun importing autocracy.

By the numbers, China owns 5% of the company and represent about 13% of their total revenue. The US represents nearly half of Blizzard-Activision’s revenue while Europe represents about a quarter.

I’m really glad most people are seeing through that 100% bullshit statement they released yesterday.

Yea, and I understand what he was trying to say. But it’s a sign of his age and how out of touch he is that he felt the need to phrase it that way. It wasn’t malicious, it was just weird and uncomfortable.

Reddit?

I’d say Biden veered into “uncle Joe” territory with that whole unprompted tangent about “gay bath houses and round’ the clock sex”.

If Warren had “pounced”, that would have been deeply alienating to Bernie’s supporters. Not every Bernie supporter is a “Bernie or Bust” Trump voter, probably less than 1% of the entire Dem primary electorate. They’re just so gawdamn loud, it seems like way more than there really are.
