17. I asked HUERTA to move away from the gate because he was impeding law enforcement access into and out of the premises. HEURTA responded "what are you going to do, you can't arrest all of us". This indicated to me that he and the others had planned in advance of arrival to disrupt the operation.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but ICE kidnapping people and trafficking them into slavery is FAR worse than the property damage caused by the protestors who are trying to stop it.
self-importance, fantasies of success, a belief in being "special," a need for admiration, a sense of entitlement, exploitative behavior, lack of empathy, and envy
Whoa! Grindr just announced that due to the anti-LGBTQ legislation, they will be releasing a list of all of their users who have donated to republican campaigns. Kidding! But to anyone who just felt some panic, that's called hypocrisy you self hating bigoted trash
eliminate the right to a live hearing to contest the allegations; eliminate the right to cross-examine one’s accuser and witnesses; weaken the right to be represented by lawyers in campus sexual misconduct expulsion proceedings; and allows for the return of the “single-investigator” model, in which a single administrator serves as prosecutor, judge, and jury
Trump frames pushing Russia out of the G8 as a bad thing, which means it must have been done by the left. Meanwhile, both things are untrue, it's actually one of the only good things conservatives have ever done, and it's time Canada does it again to the US
Trump blames Trudeau for pushing Russia out of the G8, during a Harper government, because nothing can ever be a republican(Conservative)'s fault.
On an issue that is as fundamental as how we constitute who represents us and who gets to govern our country, it is essential that this process be free from politics and any partisan influence and interests. Political parties will be biased in any recommendation they offer. Parties such as the Conservatives, which have shown that they cannot work with other parties, will want to keep the first-past-the-post system so that they can shoot for a majority and impose their minority will on Canadians. Big tent parties such as the Liberal Party would seek some sort of a ranked ballot, so parties that appeal broadly get rewarded. Single-issue parties such as the Greens will want proportional representation, so a smaller vote share in many ridings across the country will lead to their having greater representation. We know that the NDP is in favour of mixed member proportionality, where it would be able to leverage some single-issue, single-stakeholder matters, as well as taking advantage of some regional strengths. Of course, the Bloc would likely prefer to keep the system as it is right now, as they have much greater representation than their vote share at this point.

The cycle of Trump Admin. The longer we don't comply, the more desperate they become. The more desperate they become, the crazier the demands get. The crazier the demands get, the more people wake up. The more people wake up, the less powerful they become.

"Not my problem" is a cowardly thing to say about social issues. A truly strong member of society strives to care about the physical and mental struggles of those around them.
Controversial but if I work a full time job I should be able to live in a one bedroom apartment by myself and not starve myself to make rent.

Capitalism has told us that the American dream is becoming a megamillionaire or even billionaire. The American dream should be collectively building a society where nobody starves or goes homeless, and everybody is treated equally and paid a living wage.

A restaurant in Austin Texas attempting to lead the charge in the US on fair wages in restaurants. Sign reads: To create a liveable wage for front and back of house employees, we factored the cost of labor into menu prices. This policy ensures employees are paid better per hour than industry standards, are provided with benefits, and can maintain financial stability. As a result, tipping is not expecting. Thank you for supporting fair wages
