My biggest question is, What are they hiding? I really believe they are doing this to hide some other backhanded shit.

I feel ill. This young man is from v v v close to me. I had seen yesterday that he had been killed and that there was an investigation, that grief counselors were available at school, but not these details. www-m.cnn.com/2018/06/19/us/chicago-shooting-mistaken-for-dead/index.htmlI’m appalled. 15 minutes AFTER he started moving before they started cpr? He’s breathing on his own under that sheet and they leave him covered? They just didn’t deem him worth saving.

At some point, you need to stop thinking this is primarily a diversion tactic. White supremacy has always been the #1 goal. It's not a distraction. It's the main event. Also aside from all out nuclear war wtf would be hiding that is worse than making the US a greed driven, white-only ethno-state? I agree, there doesn't need to be a conspiracy about what this is hiding. It is rank as shit already.

I think the Space Force was an attempt to be a diversion. I think the immigration policies are just the administration implementing their racist views.

I am pretty sure that Corey Lewandowski and people like Stephen Miller are Satan's asshole.

One thing I know for sure: no one on the right side of history has ever had to nitpick what the definition of “cage” is.

Obligatory fuck all of this.
I wish I believed in a firey hell, it would give me solace in a small way to know that these people will burn for eternity.
I'm feeling so helpless.

Andy Borowitz Yesterday at 8:24am · Look, when you have to explain how your concentration camps differ from Nazi concentration camps, maybe that’s a sign that it’s time to rethink your whole concentration camp idea. I posted this and got into it with a 'friend' after her statement of there are two sides to every story comment.

I am in shock, this was just posted a few minutes ago by the Boise City Council. Boise City Council 14 hrs ·
A few minutes ago the Council approved the following resolution: RES 267-18
A RESOLUTION EXPRESSING THE CONCERN OF THE CITY OF BOISE ON THE FORCED SEPARATION OF IMMIGRANT FAMILIES AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER.
WHEREAS, the Department of Homeland Security has confirmed that in a six-week period, 2,000 children – an average of almost 50 per day – were separated from their parents or guardians at the U.S.–Mexico border; and
WHEREAS, the policy of forced separation of innocent immigrant children from their parents at our southern border is barbaric and un-American; and
WHEREAS, this policy is a betrayal of the values that our nation was founded on and undermines our standing as world leaders in the causes of justice and liberty; and
WHEREAS, the families that are being separated are in many instances in their most desperate hour of need and are fleeing violence and oppression; and
WHEREAS, these families deserve our kindness, not to be punished when they are seeking refuge; and
WHEREAS, we as a city do not approve of the use of children as nothing more than a negotiating tactic in the ongoing political battle over immigration reform; and
WHEREAS, there has been a long history of Mexican people in Idaho and in Boise. At one point in time, the border between the U.S. and Mexico was located at what is now the border between Idaho and Nevada; and
WHEREAS, Boise has for many years been designated as a refugee resettlement community that welcomes those fleeing war, violence and oppression, no matter where they come from; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:
We call on the members of the United States House of Representatives, the United States Senate and the President of the United States to reverse this policy and to direct staff to send a letter to the members of the Idaho congressional delegation expressing our outrage and concerns.

D.C. voted to pass Initiative 77, which (if approved by the city council and mayor) will raise the hourly wage for tipped workers to $15 by 2025. This is so awesome. I met DH serving tables in a state where it’s still $2.13/hour. He mentioned that when we move to MN I could go back to serving tables part time to have adult interaction because they pay tipped employees the same $9.65 minimum wage. So, you know, a somewhat liveable wage. I still couldn’t afford child care to do it as an actual job. Because service workers don’t deserve that lolsob. But it’s a step in the right direction. $2.13 is such a fucking joke. I especially loved it when I got to tip out on the sales of all the tables that didn’t tip me at all.

I made $2.13 serving, too, and one place I worked had a mandatory 20-percent-of-sales tip out. I didn't usually mind because bartenders and runners work hard but damn some days that was half my take home.

I also find that people don’t realize that servers have to provide their own bank to make change. So, ya know, there’s a chunk of money in my pocket that I can’t spend in case you want to break a fucking hundred, asshole. But that’s not what this thread is about 😂
