Not a surprise considering what a steaming pile of shit that city has become.

Seattle police improperly faked radio chatter about Proud Boys as CHOP formed in 2020, investigation finds

At a crucial moment during 2020’s racial justice protests, Seattle police exchanged a detailed series of fake radio transmissions about a nonexistent group of menacing right-wing extremists.

The radio chatter about members of the Proud Boys marching around downtown Seattle, some possibly carrying guns, and then heading to confront protesters on Capitol Hill was an improper “ruse,” or dishonest ploy, that exacerbated a volatile situation, according to findings released Wednesday by the city’s Office of Police Accountability.

Well these statistics are racially bias and fail to account for all the dedicated looters across America. Shit doesn’t walk out of Nordstrom by itself and it’s time we recognize these professionals in our labor statistics.

You you should ask ask him again again.

Whole Foods says 'BLM' mask ban protected by First Amendment (nypost.com)

[Blarg]

I agree with this completely.  Leave your politics to your free time.

Our dress code policy is designed to ensure we are giving Team Members a workplace and customers a shopping experience focused entirely on excellent service and high-quality food,” a Whole Foods spokesperson said in a statement. “We do not believe we should compromise that experience by introducing any messages on uniforms, regardless of the content, that shift the focus away from our mission.”

Well, obviously all the white guys who lost their jobs were hired as Santas for December.

Because they're morons. It's been obvious to all us Tucker Carlson viewers that CRT has been a massive problem for K-12 public schools in Virginia for years. I'm glad someone finally put a stop to the Indoctrination of our kids. 

[Taylor]

CRT has become the Republican Boogeyman. It's a graduate level theory that isn't taught in K-12 or in most university programs.

The CRT hysteria began in 2021 when a political pundit named Christopher Rufo went on Fox News and claimed (without evidence) that CRT and other "Marxist" theories are infiltrating K-12 education in the U.S. The next week, Trump saw a new fearmongering opportunity and passed an EO banning CRT from being taught in federal programs. Conservatives took the bait and have since found language to describe their distrust for diversity and inclusion programs, claiming that such initiatives are Marxist/CRT trojan horses. 

So now, any school program that even acknowledges racism is branded by angry (mostly white) parents who have been bamboozled into believing it's a radical leftist plot to brainwash their kids. These are the same parents who go to school board meetings and yell about wearing masks.

He's so close to fully understanding that he was born racist. Tell him to keep up the pace.

B+ is the highest grade they give to white kids. The black kids in his class get an automatic A.

All you have to do is tweet that and 20,000,000 people will share it with their hair on fire.

It will make the next school board meeting exciting. Hopefully we get some Proud Boy appearances.

If it’s the boogeyman then why do you care if it’s banned?
