A boomer lawyer was making jokes about the younger generation being snowflakes. They did not like being challenged in their shitty belief system. Seems to believe I am ashamed to be white. If I am, it is directly related to the actions and jokes of people like him.

This is what happens when you don’t have a government that understands their role, division of powers or the Constitution in general. Let’s waste money on a referendum that won’t actually accomplish anything other than further sowing the seeds of division.

The point she is making (and I shouldn’t have to explain this) is that women are the ones that are more likely to leave the workforce b/c of childcare. if there was universal childcare there would be an influx of women re-entering the workforce. That is a huge ⬆️ in tax revenue

These officers died attending a mental health call that might have ended differently had two armed officers not attended and instead were replaced with mental health workers. Maybe we should be diverting money for that and not the pointless hiring of hundreds of officers.
Police commission Chair Erick Ambtman, at city hall before the funeral service began, said these deaths serve as "a stern wake-up call" for the commission: “We’re going to be hiring hundreds more officers who are going to be putting themselves in this position every day."

Bail is broken. But not in the way police and populist politicians have been suggesting. We have far too many people doing time for charges of which they will never be convicted.
Charged is not a synonym for guilty.
