The most ordinary man imaginable came to my home state to tell me to ‘get out of America’ while he & Absent Ashley enjoyed the comfort of buildings my ancestors helped build. Imagine standing on the shoulders of the ppl who built this country & then telling their descendants they don’t belong here/2

And even the "perfect" victims are often downplayed. Witness Brock Allan Turner's rape of his victim: out in the open where two men witnessed and reported it. And yet, went to trial and got an extremely minor sentence. Later changed his name to Allan Turner to try to hide from his past.

Ugh. If they want to remake some dark British story for kids, they could do a Dickens tale but that takes place in 2020s United States. David Copperfield but a foster kid caught in the system. Oh wait, just option Barbara Kingsolver's novel.

Boebert had already had questionable campaign fund use during her 1st campaign. And inappropriate sexual relations in public, in front of children. But of course neither the AG of Colorado or Denver PD prosecuted her for any of those. If we don't prosecute little crimes, criminals try bigger ones.

This is straight out of Handmaids Tale. A high school trying to force girls to disclose the dates and lengths of their menstrual cycle. Don’t comply? You lose a grade. There’s absolutely no reason a school needs this information other than to exert control over our bodies.

Seems like a joke but some chiropractors do spinal and brain damage on babies! In fact, if you want a way to screen whether a chiropractor is a crank, them accepting babies as patients is a giant red flag.

Ed Sheeran also has "been political" in explicitly supporting Ukraine. And it's not like Macklemore suddenly became an activist on this tour, Ed knew his stance. Ed is being both a hypocrite and a coward in not backing up Macklemore.

A county in CO voted 5-0 to approve a data center, despite tons of opposition. Why? Turns out of the 2 county commissioner races in this election, NEITHER has a Democratic challenger. Yeah, sure it's a rural red county but this isn't even a swing and a miss by Dems, it's skipping the game altogether
