    I know this is meant to refer to eating the paper but what if someone ate the food. Like munching on celery while ICE pulls you out your window.

      Lmfao I thought they meant eat the food jfc I am dumb. The worst part is, i’ve seen this tweet before, and I understood what it meant the first time. Pregnancy brain.

      This time. I figured neighborhood must be an app like uber eats, and they’re saying just act like the food is for yourself.

    Actually heard from a colleague there that he was actively doing just that, at least a few weeks ago. Complete with the cloak and dagger about coordinating it offline and avoiding active patrols and protests that would similarly draw too much attention.

    Yes, awfully 1930s German scenario that happened there.

    This is what your grandparents fought and died for to prevent from ever happening again.

      It was pretty much still happening in the South while those grandparents were busy fighting it elsewhere. And it continued to happen in the US south for decades after WWII.

    It’s unbelievable that Minnesota Dems are trying to push though some of the worst gun grabbing legislature of the century. At the time nazis are literally at the front steps.

    You could search and replace a few words in Anne Frank’s Diary and make it happen in Minneapolis today.

    But I’ve been told Democrats are SO HORRIBLE that we have to allow felon pedophile fascists to run our country instead.

    I mean Dems fumbled a single foreign affair topic, so it makes sense that we should just let masked unaccountable federal agents violate our Constitutional rights and murder American citizens.

      Don’t you think people deserve to vote for someone they actually support, rather than the least terrible option though?

        Sure. That’s not mutually incompatible with preferring the least terrible option to the most terrible though.

        People view it as “Democrats don’t deserve to win because they didn’t have a good enough candidate”, when they should be viewing it as “Democrats didn’t field the candidate I deserve, but I still deserve better than the Republican”.

    Posts like this spread quickly, so it’s always worth double-checking sources before reacting. Big claims deserve solid evidence, especially when they involve serious accusations.

      One commenter on this very thread has already said their brother who lives there told them the same thing.

      So. Uh. Does that work, or - ? You need video or - ? What’s the threshold here where it goes from random xitter post to Actual Fucked Up Thing? I mean, I copied this from another blog, so to your point yeah I dunno if it’s real but I DO know that if it is real it’s damned sure not going to appear in the NYT or CBS News either.

      We’re without journalism now. It’s, like, dead dead. Mostly.
