Look buddy, this may be /c/Risa, but you don't need to seek Jamaharon

Definitely curious how the party actively working to ban books and prevent people from expressing themselves artistically in public is supporting free speech.

Clearly, you need to visit this place before you can get to (42.238111,-85.335262)

... did you read the MLK quote I included? The fact that there aren't many Republicans loudly and repeatedly condemning the leaders of the party says exactly that. If you want to read the whole thing, I recommend you take a look at King's full Letter from a Birmingham Jail to fully understand the point: silence means acceptance.

Then where is the Republican outrage against the fascist policies so many Republican politicians are advocating for? There are only two options: either they don't care, or they're secretly happy.

"First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." ~~Martin Luther King, Jr

I'm literally watching this with my boys for the first time as I type this!

Nothing happened there for the entire year?!? No military parades? No groups of people coming together to talk about what they have in common? Amazing that nothing happened there for an entire year!

I like those. Thanks!

This is 100% the fault of the studio execs who don't want their employees to have a fair wage. I can wait for my Star Trek if it means upholding the ideals that Trek stands for.

How did the beans memes start? Why did people not poop for 3 days? Don't ask questions, just go with it!

Feds: "We have money that you can give to families so kids can eat over the summer."

MO politicians: "That seems like it would be a lot of hard work for us, so nah."

One of Canada's national dishes... so I wouldn't go to Canada if I was you.

About one third of our country isn't voting

Check turnout. Even in presidential elections, we rarely get more than 1/3 of the eligible voters to actually cast a ballot.

Jew here. My dad's step-brother (also Jewish) was one of the first victims in the US. He died in the first week of April 2020 after holding on in the hospital for a few days. So... yeah, this guy's an idiot.

Isn't that just a diminutive of Frances?

Teacher here. Anything can be a name. Trust me. I've seen things...

I'm sure there are tons of trans women who would appreciate that!

I mean, that is also an appropriate response.

Wait... is this comment accurate information or horribly wrong information? 🤔
