The voices of the Iranian #resistance are being silenced by a media which is allowed to interact with #Iran in curated ways. Meanwhile, these people have been fighting and dying for twenty years, and now their fight has been sullied by Trump using them as a pawn.

But Obama was divisive.

He divided the country between people who couldn't stand having a Black president, and everyone else.

It's only fascism if someone's making them do something they don't want to do. If they get to make someone else do something they don't want to do, that's freedom.

Get it?

If he's going to pay companies back for the tariffs he levied, then it kind of seems like an embezzlement scheme.

Kind of like how he bankrupted two casinos, when a child could run a casino at a profit.

Arresting people who aren't cops when they commit a crime shouldn't be a novel idea, but it is.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

If you had a 50/50 chance of being wrong about someone else, you're fine with that, but if someone is wrong about something they say about you, you get your partner over and you both flip out on them. Y'all must be miserable full-time, picking fights with everyone who replies.

What are they afraid of? Oh, it's losing. Is it losing?

They're afraid of losing, because they're losers.

I mean, I'm not good at baseball either, but I'm also not a bigot.

Congressman Tony Gonzales must be forced to resign. Public pressure from the American people must rise to a fever pitch. More people must know about this. Tell someone. They must not be allowed to get away with sexually harassing a woman to death.

Thinking like that is killing the Earth and everything on it, in a thousand different ways.

So there's less than a 50% chance that the person you're speaking to is American, and you think that's high enough to just make blanket assumptions about everyone you're talking to, and then start fucking arguments with anyone who says that maybe that wasn't the best use of your time.

Sometimes murdering a convoy of ambulances and then burying the evidence is "defending yourself."

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF
