It's of that era, sure, but the jokes are (somewhat) smarter IMO

If you like Bill Murray or Rodny Dangerfiled even a little bit, Caddyshack is a must-watch. Still holds up.

Laura Loomerβ€˜s tweet: Alligator lives matter. The good news is, alligators are guaranteed at least 65 million meals if we get started now.

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

Yeah this. It's nice if solar and wind eventually win out on the economics, but a much better outcome would be to switch everything over NOW and not over the course of several decades.

Heck, pay people to install solar if that's what it takes...

There was essentially zero coverage of the disabled protest to stop Medicaid cuts. Capitol police dragged protesters out, many in wheelchairs, and arrested 34 people. It was barely a blip on the news because nobody really cares about the disabled.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.

While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.

This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

This time-lapse video of protesters marching down Broadway in Oakland for No Kings Day gives an idea of how many people turned out today @sfchronicle.com

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

Fair, yes I admittedly glossed over the "if violence breaks out" part, but I haven't actually seen or heard anyone advocating that specific point so I considered it a bit of a straw man.

As a pre-emptive plan, showing large numbers of protesters who are unmistakably passive can be quite powerful.

I get your point (BTW my point still stands, there were 3 dozen students who split $1 million).

But imagery and messaging is everything in this media environment. The burning cars in LA are running 24/7 on Fox News.

There's no way to spin that photo above. It says everything.

LOL that I got blocked for this. Please stay safe out there everyone.

Just saying that this is one of the most iconic protest images of the 21st century. Not the example I'd use to argue that sitting at a protest is ineffective.

In the current media environment it's so easy for bad actors to edit footage or mischaracterize what happens at a protest.

Car set on fire in LA? 24 hour looping footage on Fox News.

Passive protesters sitting down with their hands behind their back getting pepper sprayed in the face? Not so much.

Fine. My point still stands. This is not the image I would choose to make a case that sitting down at a protest is ineffective.

Unsafe? Yeah that's a better argument. But this image has been a global meme for the past decade, illustrating the level of police brutality in the United States.

Yep. We're saying the same thing. He got more than any individual student because there were three dozen of them. Collectively they won $1 million.

That cop was fired, the students won a $1 million lawsuit, and this photo became a viral meme demonstrating police brutality in the United States.

I'd say it ended up being an extremely effective way to protest! There's no way to spin that image into "but they deserved it."

You do not have to say β€œpro vaccine groups.” You can say the vast majority of doctors and scientists and the American Medical Association.

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis.

Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.

The most important thing you must share today.

Trump is destroying your life savings and ability to make a living for 1 reason: he wants to make us all beggars who bow to him, his donors and his family.
