I take that very seriously, and thought more than twice. The commenters all spoke on the record at a public meeting with transcripts that will be available to the public in the coming weeks. Two of the three also spoke to the local news on camera, and gave their full names.
Thank you for asking, seriously- it’s a totally fair and important question, and I mean it when say I considered it and take that shit very seriously.

Serving in law enforcement is a dangerous and important job.

However.

This article omits important information, thereby implying that law enforcement is somehow becoming an increasingly dangerous job.
That doesn’t appear to be the case.

2017 saw 129 officer fatalities. There have only been four years since 1959 that had fewer fatalities.

The average from 2002 to 2016 was 159. 2018, so far, has seen 144.
There were 5,147 fatal work injuries in the United States in 2017. By far, the most common cause was transportation incidents, which accounted for 2,077 (40%) of deaths.

In 2018, 50 officers died in traffic-related incidents. 52 officers died in firearms-related incidents.

I talked to a guy yesterday who voted for Beto on the first day of early voting. He’s voted straight ticket democrat in Texas for 40 years, and he said “it just drives me crazy when people don’t vote. That’s how we got in this mess.”
And I told him sure, but after a few weeks in mostly low-income neighborhoods around Dallas, I’ll never complain about people not voting again. Because that assumes people don’t vote out of laziness. Or apathy.

And that could not be more innacurate.
People don’t vote in America, because we’ve allowed America to become a country without a voting culture. Voting is not for everyone. Voting is not who we are.

Voter suppression is often incremental, but the results are immediate, and passed down to future generations.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how Boomers bullied Gen X into the political apathy of the nineties, and how it allowed them stack the deck in their favor for a generation.
Boomers called Xers lazy, spoiled, and selfish while pushing this myth of the American taxpayer. “I’m a tax-payer,” they sneered, like some stereotypical 1950s husband acting like they’re the head of America’s household because they bring home the paycheck.
In 1972, half of 18-24 year-olds voted. By 1996, it was 32%.

For the 1994 midterms, it was less than 20%.

This idea that a higher income, and subsequently paying more taxes, gives you more right or responsibility to be involved in politics is offensive. And dangerous af.

Hijab in the House pjmedia.com/homeland-secur… #HomelandSecurity via @pjmedia_com
One of the notable results of the November 6 midterm elections was that the U.S. House of Representatives went from two Muslim members -- Indiana’s André Carson and Minnesota’s Keith Ellison, who on the same day was elected his state’s attorney general -- to 3 Muslims.
With few if any exceptions, the mainstream media rooted for these ladies throughout the campaign season and lustily cheered their victories, not because of their skills or experience or political views but because they represented “diversity.”

are there people here on twitter that would argue woodstock 69>woodstock 99? because im going to start watching performances from 99 for the 20th anniversary and i just dont see myself being convinced 99 wasnt better
the guy from lit just asked the crowd if they had his new cd and when a bunch screamed he said that was badass and started playing miserable. its a level of poetry got at the original woodstock.

"you make me cum

you make me complete

you make me completely miserable"
the physicality of Lits live act really has to be seen to be believed. the frontman is like if mick jagger ruled instead of was mick jagger

Shane is fangirling about meeting Rebekah and Kol, the Original vampires, and bragging about not being able to be compelled. Then Bex tells Kol to beat the location of the cure out of him. Lol. Imagine meeting your idols and they beat the shit out of you.
Back to this. "Truth or dare, Elena?"
"Dare." Damn that's brave.
"I dare you to tell Stefan the truth about Damon."
Sweetie, that's truth not dare, but I am here for this.
"Seriously?!" Caroline being there for Stefan again.
Bex is being really childish though
"Being with Damon makes me happy." HSHDFLK YES IT DOES.
"Makes you happy? Clowns make you happy Elena. Dig a little deeper."
Actually, clowns do quite the opposite of making me happy, but to each their own Rebekah. 🙈

How The Signs Perceive Other People: Thread
- Based on archetypes of the signs
- Can also apply to moon or Venus
Aries: A player in the game. Aries is about games and the game they're always playing is Power. The other person is what's at the other end of the power dynamic. The question is: what's the power dynamic? Are you stronger than Aries? Are you a threat to Aries, or an ally?
That's why Aries is into friendly competition. That's why they're always over-asserting themselves, they're trying to secure their place at the top of the power dynamic.
