if they’re dressed all in black and wearing balaclavas, how’s a reasonable law abiding citizen to know whether they’re cops or minorities?

I’m not a lawyer, but I don’t see why a witness to an in progress armed kidnapping by masked men who refuse to identify themselves wouldn’t be totally justified in shooting them graveyard dead in any of these “stand your ground” states.

You’ve just described the core constituency of the Democratic Party

Chuck Schumer voting with the senate majority to dissolve the federal judiciary: “this will protect judges from Trump!”

There’s an Outer Rim moon called Dizon Fray. There was a sentient species there, quite unusual. Extremely hostile to the concept of an Imperial refueling center that was being planned. I say “was” because they created such a stir that the local commanders were granted permission to use any means necessary. And, um, well, what’s important for our purposes here today is that the massacre of the Dizonites was broadcast and recorded as proof of mission. They make a sound as they die. A sort of choral, agonized pleading. It was quite unlike anything anyone has ever heard before. There were three communications officers monitoring the documentation, and they were found hours later huddled together in various states of emotional distress, in a crawl space beneath the ship’s bridge. We’ve taken the recordings and modified them slightly, layering, adjusting. And we found a section of what we believe are primarily children, which has its own particular effect. Doesn’t take long. It won’t feel that way to you inside. But, um… Let me know when you’re willing to cooperate.

Heard a rumor a cop may have gotten hit with an arrow

I hope Melissa B. Harper never knows another moment of peace for the rest of her life.

said he has stood “alongside an Army of the Dead” to file unsuccessful legal complaints against vaccines in Florida

Is this the sort of shit the army of the dead has been getting up to since helping Aragorn fight the armies of Mordor? Sounds like Isildur was right to curse them.

The subtext here isn’t really his grooming: it’s his drinking

Israel condemned China’s treatment of Muslims.

Zionists are upset that China gives Muslims citizenship, education, and jobs instead of bombing their schools and hospitals.

This is correct, but religion is not presently the primary obstacle to revolution. As with capitalism, religions developed out of the material conditions that preceded them. The experience of failed and successful socialist projects have shown us the dangers of trying to instantly declare something eliminated without first doing the work to change the material conditions that produce and sustain it.

China, for example, would not be closer to bringing about world communism by ceasing to print money, prohibiting religious practice, outlawing the ownership of private property, and declaring an end to the nuclear family tomorrow. That doesn’t mean that those aren’t all inevitable and inseparable outcomes of successfully building socialism.

I presume it’s the merciless wild animal that murders me for being unable to afford housing.

Hitler’s words deserve censorship; Lenin’s words don’t.

I appreciate OP’s respect for readers who would prefer not to be surprised with more unsolicited hate speech than bourgeois media already subjects them to. There is nothing newsworthy about the contents of Trump’s screed other than his typical libel and bigotry. Nobody is any braver, smarter, or more politically enlightened for having sifted through each new pile of dogshit he tweets.

Literally pages before this happened Jean Grey was about to telepathically pluck the racism out of every human’s mind with her godlike psychic powers, but thank goodness Charles was there to show everyone a better way

I didn’t find “actually every mutant who ever died is in a secret pocket dimension disconnected from the rest of reality where you can pretend they’re all off having a good time while we never mention them again,” to be a particularly satisfying resolution to 5 years of world building and character growth.

In the 2023 Hellfire Gala storyline, Charles Xavier mind controlled a unified mutant nation at the height of their power into peacefully surrendering to Orchis (an intergovernmental org formed by every major world government to exterminate mutants). They told him to force every mutant on earth to walk through portals that would “exile them off planet” or they’d execute random humans and blame mutants to prevent Xavier from realizing his dream of being accepted by polite society. Xavier agreed and tried to mind control every mutant on earth to walk into these portals against their will. To the surprise of absolutely no one, the portals were intended to kill any mutant that walked through them and effectively culled like 90% of the mutant population from Marvel continuity. Orchis then killed a bunch of humans and blamed it on mutants anyway just to spite Xavier.

Calling Xavier a sellout is putting it kindly.
