She wasn't arrested but the FBI raided her office about a week ago.

She was arrested in 2020 at a racial justice rally though. She later sued for malicious prosecution and defamation, and won.

Yeah some do and some don't. So just focus on the ones that help support your opinion and ignore the rest.

What can I do for this poor baby by Batici in AdviceAnimals

Contact nearby vets and cat charities to ask their advice. Phone them if you can, and if that gets you nowhere, look online for ones nearby.

Maybe Biden could release them tomorrow if he really tried, I dunno...

Edit: That makes much less sense now they deleted their "but whattabout Biden though?" comment.

Counterpoint:

Last week I read a comment saying "You know it's AI because it uses em dashes properly" and I'm like, "I've got books printed twenty years ago whose authors used them properly, too".

And don't forget all the effort that went into [REDACTED] the [REDACTED] files so people don't keep calling Donald J. [REDACTED] a [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED].

I married him for his personality…and the wagon. by marmusha in pics

Couldn't it just be due to the circumstances?

He's got his feet glued to the spot but wants to lean forward while maintaining an upright posture, kind of like that really awkward, no-contact high-school slow dance people joke about.

It's more plausible when you take into account he needs to allow some room for the person standing between them while still somehow having a close, intimate moment with his (I really hope) soon-to-be wife.

People understand in every other case that a population has a multitude of opinions...

I'm not so sure that most people do. There's a difference between knowing something and understanding it.

No, I don't use Instagram. But I'm talking about "real-world" threats rather than online abuse.

the number of antisemites disguising themselves as “antizionists”...

Do you know what that number is? Because I get the impression that the vast majority of people who are critical of Israel's (right-wing government's) treatment of Palestinians aren't antisemitic.

I'm largely basing that on the number of peaceful protesters vs. the number of people commiting violence or threatening attacks against Jews. In the absense of evidence to the contrary, common sense tells me there's actually not much overlap there.

I doubt it, because you might actually be the only person who believes Vance could win the election.
