I'm going to say something very unpopular here. Cops everywhere are not at all the same. Yes, they are in some things: public safety, officer safety. rule of law. But I'm not naive to the fact that in *some* places these aren't true.
It's tough for me to not bristle when I read about bad cops, because I hate those too. But there are lots and lots of good cops who get tarred with the same broad brush when they don't deserve it. /end rant
@wolfwoman thank you for this, agree all the way. I've been helped by some cops and I cannot thank them enough.
@Maude No covfefe about it
@hallmarc @NorthernInvader I don't blame you there. My friends are my family. I went no contact with my blood family for reasons.
@sugarpopspete That's deceptive AF. Yellow journalism sucks
@cjtownsend @mcfate IKR?
@NorthernInvader Yeah
@mcfate Ditto. Big tech fears losing competition. Yet that's the original point of Capitalism.

@JeniRizio I think four things contributed to the disaster that just befell us.:
1. misogyny
2. Racism
4. Economy
4. brainwashing and deliberate denial
And not necessarily in that order.
@Charles_Hawtrey All of the above, yes
During the pandemic people got used to staying indoors. Afterwards, people stayed indoors because they could not afford to go out. Online circle jerks formed, people read and watched only what they wanted to read and see. End result = divided and brainwashed US
@WeThePeople like this, yes:
