Ghot, you remind me of one of my friends who constantly texts me memes and only like 15% of them are good. You should post less frequently and only pick the really good ones.

A new directive has been sent to CPD officers: Cooperation with DHS is forbidden, and if DHS arrives at a scene, officers are instructed to leave the scene.
DHS agents in a dangerous situation while detaining someone for a court-ordered immigration warrant? CPD officers are explicitly told to stand down and let them get shot

Probably just a function of her being Swedish and English being her second language. That’s w.e.

What I do find troubling is that she’s being propped up as the poster child of the climate change ‘do something’ movement.

Using an autistic child as a political prop is an extreme appeal to emotion. Honestly, huge turn off when it’s so blatantly obvious. If you have a good point or argument you don’t need to rely on low iq bait arguments such as appeal to emotion. Argue your opponents with intellectualism not try to sway the masses by using low tier emotional arguments.


who exactly is 'using' her, how exactly do 'they' do it, and to what end - who 'profits' from it and how, mr. tinfoil hat? just because you have been brainwashed by science denying, climate change appeasing propaganda, paid for by the fossil fuel industry, doesn't mean that everyone who has strong opinions on the topic is therefore a 'political prop'.

pathetically attacking a kid, somehow trying to discredit her by questioning her agency, will not make the overwhelming scientific consensus on man made climate change, which informs her actions, disappear. also, it's funny how defensive the far right always gets considering she not only criticises their inaction based on blatant denial / 'scepticism', but also the half-assed approaches by the part of 'the moderate left', who put climate change on their agenda, but still won't take adequate action.

the funny thing about this is that the very people buying into the whole 'political prop' narrative are themselves exactly what they accuse her of, classic projection really - and most of them are simply too stupid to realise it. that talking point is not some original thought you had, based on genuinely and critically looking at the science and her statements, but something that was fed to you by right wing outlets and politicians - all of them generously sponsored by big oil.

I thought this one sounded fishy.

The "nappy' jokes didn't make sense. I doubt those kids even know what nappy means.

incredible that the Wapo comment section managed to nail the issue head-on: the tabloid media always screeching whatever they want at the top of their lungs with little-to-no recourse for their lecherous, avaricious actions all under the guise of 'we are the only ones who can practice the 1st amendment"

yeah i didnt think it sounded on the level either.

honestly in 2019 i'm SUPER skeptical of any attacks on blacks in public. you get caught doing anything towards that ground and you're done for.

in 2019 attacks on blacks are more night time type events, where they can't identify an attacker. or even more cowardly just spray painting N-words on their stuff.

thankfully the era of public attacks on blacks is done for the most part.

Yeah i get what you're saying. The issue i see how is that any attack can be construed as a "racist/hate" attack or assault. That's the knee jerk reaction right now.

It's just so easy to pull the race card and your 'opponent' immediately has to defend themselves because you said a word. Doesn't matter who is right or who is wrong, just matters who yelled the buzzword first.
