Lol that's fucking ridiculous. Please nobody cite that Twitter handle again.

 

 

It's how so many presidential approval/policy agreement polls are reported as well. Strongly/somewhat approve or disapprove are lumped together. This is so common.

How long before Trump is informed by Miller about the possibility of invoking a Purge Night like in the movies? That will get all that anger out of these people and allow Trump to shoot a protestor and get away with it on 5th Avenue. 

Like he would set foot in NYC again.

No, no, that's fine. They added parts of one question prompt to the other prompt. Sleazy af.

Mark Zuckerberg leaked audio: Trump’s looting and shooting reference “has no history of being read as a dog whistle”

 

Quote

Zuckerberg said that he did a thorough analysis of the history around the apparent reference in Trump’s post, which he called “troubling,” but ultimately did not find it to be an incitement of violence under Facebook’s policies.

 

“We basically concluded after the research and after everything I’ve read and all the different folks that I’ve talked to that the reference is clearly to aggressive policing — maybe excessive policing — but it has no history of being read as a dog whistle for vigilante supporters to take justice into their own hands,” Zuckerberg said on the call.

Ah, will morningconsult is generally a good pollster per 538

 

Huh? The Monmouth poll was fine, but that Twitter handle purposely manipulated how the questions were posed. Disappointing tbh.

A Latina girl that used to work for me has an Instagram story that says #hispaniclivesmattertoo. Gtfo with that garbage, you Peruvian Karen (Maria perhaps?)

TBH we should make it black/latino lives matter. While I believe we are treated slightly better then blacks by the police it's still an issue. 

 

Perhaps I should make a sign when I go protest this weekend. There are protests in Paterson so far they seem peaceful. In fairness we only have like 600-800 police officers so they would be overwhelmed if things went south.

Depends on the Latino "type" tbh.

 

I'm not Latino, but I'm sure cops can't tell the difference. I've gotten out of 5-6 driving tickets in my lifetime. I doubt an AA man can say the same, sadly.

Yes darker ones are probably more at risk. Its funny you mention it my half sister was posting no one can tell me I have white privelage. I couldnt even bear to reply. Wanted to tell her yooo your name is Samira Razick and you are half arabic and puerto rican. White privalage is primarily for gringos. Though she is really light skinned but the name. When I used to go to Colombia to visit my ex-wife I was subject to "random" TSA screenings.  

 

I just generally feel minorities should try to stick together.

This is not our moment. It'd be like black people complaining about how police mistreated them while the whole kids in cages thing was going down. They didn't do that because they're not assholes, so we should try not to be as well.
