For now.

When the Trump administration is done gutting the NHTSA, not so much.

Please do.

Especially American liberals. Please move to, eg, Alberta and Ontario specifically and knock the UCP and OCP off their perches.

Remember they made the Democratic Party primaries less democratic after Carter was elected because he was too left wing. And they’ve only been able to nominate neoliberals since.

It's amazing that a naval officer/peanut entrepreneur/devout Christian was "too left wing", especially since he got beat by a Hollywood union boss from California.

Mind you, we just had an anti-elite rebellion led by a thrice-divorced billionaire failson of a New York City real estate magnate.

No less than The Economist uses the BMI ("Big Mac Index") to compare economies.

I was going to say, this is how we get "I am Legend".

It was. But there's a social contract being violated, here.

Also, the guys in the photo above? their rights to own guns were tramped out by that notorious liberal pinko commie Ronald Reagan, because as it turns out, they aren't for the freedom to bear arms, just the freedom for people they like and feel are on their side to bear arms.

If the Panthers started up again, you can bet all the second-amendment types would be begging for gun control in five minutes.

The correct response is "If I'm going to jail because abortion is murder, I may as well kill my rapist"

The people complaining about intolerance are themselves intolerant.

Umm, yes. That's the point.

Middle-aged white men have a lot of privilege. It's time we used it for good.

Is this white-saviour and/or patriarchial? Yup. Does it work? Also yup.

I don't know if we all realize this, but some shitlord being told "What the fuck is wrong you?!" cuts deeper when it comes from someone who looks like their dad, granddad, or their boss.

I'm a 47-year old white guy in a leadership position in a large company. I've done exactly this to both young-millenial edgelord types who think I'm in on the joke, and boomer or elder-Xers who are yelling at clouds. I will tell you that, not only does it smack down the dipshit who thought that "lol rape" or "brown people bad" was funny, it also sets the tone for everyone else in the room, and it gets word around that bigotry isn't acceptable.

Anyone can say this, but it hits harder when it's someone privileged. Women, LGBTQ folk and other vulnerable groups don't have this privilege, and get shut down, and if we don't want that to be the case, we need to speak up for them.

Cellebrite isn't American.

Representives Omar and Tlaib would disprove that point.

Ugh. That episode hits hard this week
