RiotAct

anyone in Amherst see the protest that went down Maple yesterday? The police had the westbound lanes closed down past Ayer Rd. Apparently there’s another one planned for today.

heh. Interestingly enough, that may be the natural progression of things anyway. Biden gets elected in November (pretty much a given at this point), vaccine or newly-found effective treatment comes out first quarter of ‘21.

although he’s badgering Fauci somewhat unfairly with his tone of voice, he makes a good point.

who did they ask? A bunch of 3rd graders???

it gets conflated with the protests because the powers that be have drilled into our heads that certain rights and privileges meed to be temporarily suspended for the greater good (which is understandable), and yet the protests / takeovers are fine because... reasons.

^^^^^Good post. I’ve cringed every time I heard someone trotting out the sarcastic “MUH RIGHTS!!!” trope in the last 4 months, totally dismissing peoples’ valid concerns about an eventual return to normalcy. Lazy thinking. Of course, ironically enough, these are probably the same people who laid into Bush and company back in 2001/2002 when we started having to remove our belts and shoes at the airports.

it’s the cure for COVID-19

Very cool

Masks are the alpha and the omega. The raison d’etre. The yin and the yang. Why stop at the regular police... call on the SWAT team!

man, the millions of immigrants and refugees coming here every year have it all wrong then!

Trump’s America.... I mean, uh, Xi’s China.

thanks... not sure how I missed your post.

I’m wondering the same thing...

omg that’s almost too good to be true. LOL

BLM Stadium does have a nice ring to it...

cue the “iF yoUrE NoT oUt ThErE mArChiNg yOuRe a FaScIsT” brigade.

I mean, okay, it’s a pretty picture. Where’s it from, and what methodology did the creator use to come up with that?

Cuomo and the state legislature’s song of choice while in session:

???

what is your obsession with Putin? You keep repeating it like some low-information syncophant who F5’s MSNBC constantly for the latest talking points. But other than that and the constant cheering about death numbers in states whose politics you don’t agree with, nice job!

should be interesting to see how the state creatively closes the estimated $30,000,000,000 budget gap (that is all Trump’s fault, obviously)! I wonder what they will do.

that’s pretty amazing when you think about it.

in all seriousness, I’d like to see what happened before that video started, for context at the very least.
