I like how it started out as just funny and lighthearted (beige flag), then it got screenshotted into a bad & sexist right wing take (green flag), then that boomeranged into a left wing take that he's a bad guy (red flag).

Really pretty wild that this is the (to my knowledge, correct me if I’m wrong?) un-retracted public statement of a serving police officer in a position of high visibility and at times even a WPS official spokesperson.
Is is a dog whistle if everyone can hear it? This MB PC candidate left the Bear Clan after being called out for racist tweets (including calling the Black Lives Matter movement ‘new terrorists’). Now she is actually trying to make people afraid of a potential Indigenous Premier.

Performative unplanned all nighters are neither productive for getting actual work done, nor realistic for parents, and thus depend on an intimate partner (often; a woman) to shoulder that task alone.

Hi

, if a teacher suspects that a child will face abuse at the hands of their parents (emotional, physical) do you think that teacher should call up the parent to inform them they overheard the child say “I’m non binary” in the hallway to their friends?
