A lucky goal, a SH goal, a WTF Skinner goal, and the #Oilers snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

That should've been an #Oilers win.

They were easily the better team, except at one position.

This Is White Privilege at Its Most Dangerous

Debates often spring up between conservatives and liberals about white privilege and what it means. Liberals will tell you that it is obvious. America was founded, grew, and was sustained on the conce...

Let me be clear: It’s ILLEGAL to deny federal workers back pay after a shutdown.

There’s a 2019 law that guarantees it, but Trump is once again trying to break the law.

You don’t get to punish people for doing their jobs just because you’re failing at yours.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

People are hiding in attics, like Anne Frank, thanks to Donald Trump, Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem.

Using their own personal Gestapo Goon Squad to commit crimes against humanity.

One day, they will answer for this.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

"President Donald Trump and his top aides are using the word 'insurrection' more frequently to describe anti-ICE protests in places like Portland," writes Zachary B. Wolf. https://cnn.it/4pWYmzr

ICE is a hostile occupying force that is a danger to everyone.

The man wears gloves and a dark cap, and his eyes are visible above the mask. The vehicle’s door and side mirror are wet with raindrops.

Murray: I talked to a family that’s paying about $300 a month for their health insurance. It’s going to jump to over $1,800 per month.

Many people will turn away and not pay for it—obviously, they’ll lose their health insurance. The fewer people who have insurance, the more everybody pays.

You know who doesn't integrate? People like Robert Jenrick. You think he works out at the local leisure centre? Goes to the Tuesday night pub quiz? You think his golf club lets anyone play? Or his private members' clubs let anyone in? He puts the ick in prick

I wanted to name my daughter Siobhan, thought it was a beautiful name. My wife, who is a teacher, explained that she would spend her life having to tell people how to pronounce her name.

My wife, needless to say, was right. But we compromised and Siobhan is my daughter’s middle name.

DFH1 stands for “Dirty Fucking Hippy”. I was called this by a co-worker. He later told me his idea of hell was “spending eternity with you in a rowboat” and proclaimed my problem was “you think you’re smarter than God”.

Seemed only right to name my account after my biggest fan.

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.
