It's refreshing to see someone else explicitly state that property damage isn't violence.
It's capitalist and media propaganda to conflate the two to protect themselves.

Why are we so weird about speed limits (US)?
Reply in thread
It's not your place to police other drivers and their behavior. Nor is it mine. Slowing down if someone is tailgating pisses everyone off, and going under the speed limit can be just as dangerous as going over. It's a really easy way to cause a crash.
Drive predictably. If that means going the exact speed limit, fine. But far too often I am on the road with people who think going 25mph in a 45mph on a two lane road is safer.

Minnesota could prosecute the ICE shooter. Trump can’t pardon him.
"could" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

Too often they treat what these people say as if it the news itself. Unbiased, and a source of truth. Reporting has just become gossip repeating the worse people say.

Long-time iOS user considering switch to Android - Need advice on $1000 flagships
Samsung is on my shit list. Their spammy, ad riddled UI is infuriating.
I don't trust them. They lock their phones down and don't let you remove their bloatware or block their ads/notifications.
Fuck them. Never buy Samsung.

Broadcasting the Vietnam war brought immense pressure against the government and led to tons of rallies and protests.
Make the American people uncomfortable with what is being done in our names. Bring the realities of war home.

Tina Peters asks Colorado appeals court to recognize Trump's pardon, release her from prison
We can't allow him to pardon state crimes.
He doesn't have that authority and we don't need to give him more.
If this goes to the federal supreme court, I honestly don't understand why the state would even recognize it. It's not under federal jurisdiction so that even they don't have a say in this unless the state decides to just accept it for some reason.

Donald Trump's "Peace Deal" is meant to give Russia everything they want

Trump Says US Cannot Give Every Person It Wants to Deport a Trial
The US CAN, you fucking asswipe. You don't WANT to.
You are like a petulant child, only caring about what you want, you narcissistic prick.

RFK Jr to tell CDC to end fluoride recommendation for drinking water
CDC should just ignore him. These people only have the power you give them. Every individual can just be simply disobedient. Keep doing your job and ignore what the Republican clowns in charge direct you to do.

For fucks sake, can we just get releases that have separate audio tracks for dialogue, music, and effects that we the viewer can decide how we want to hear it?
Video games figured this out
I don't want the explosions to be so loud that it wakes my entire house.

Gov. JB Pritzker points to Trump inconsistencies in deployment of National Guard to Chicago
“Why shouldn’t federal troops empower the people in Chicago to live safe lives when the governor and the local mayor (Brandon Johnson) just simply refuse to do their job?” -Vance
What he's saying is "why shouldn't we be able to unilaterally make decisions for the people of a City in direct opposition to those individuals will and what they voted for? And why shouldn't we be able to use force and violence to do it?"
I can only hope there is justice in this world and he gets to face a jury and is held accountable for his words and actions.

Florida teacher loses job for calling student by ‘preferred’ name
Teachers, like all employees, are expected to follow the law.
No. If a law is unjust and immoral it is the imperitive of everyone at the district to disobey it.
Just because it is law, does not make it right.

I have kidnapped a head of state, join me at my luxury resort for details
The military is NOT us law enforcement.
You fat fucking tub of shit, and no amount of you saying it is will trick people into thinking so when you keep trying to use them as such inside the country.

ICE agents told a teenage US citizen: ‘You’ve got no rights.’ He secretly recorded them.
Another officer says, “They’re starting to resist more now,” to which an officer replies: “We’re going to end up shooting some of them.”
That feels too casual of a conversation when discussing fucking murder.
Also, I believe it should be illegal for law enforcement to be incentived to make arrests. If I were in a position to write laws, I'd make it illegal for cops to get bonuses. Fuck the idea they get more money to ruin people's lives.

Lol, that was literally illegal. Although I don't know whether the NRLB has any bearing anymore.
But by making taking about salaries illegal. It was explicitly considered by the courts to be anti-labor practices. It was used to prevent employees from forming a union.
