One step forward, two steps back:

The path took agents from Instagram, where amateur photographers also captured shots of the masked arsonist that day, to an Etsy shop that sold the distinctive T-shirt the woman was wearing in the video. It led investigators to her LinkedIn page, to her profile on the fashion website Poshmark and eventually to her doorstep in Germantown.

Whoa, notice the presumption of guilt as they go from a ā€œt-shirt the woman was wearingā€ to her LinkedIn page and doorstep.

A tattoo was also used to narrow the search, but the whole thing shows how personal information can be used. I really hope they made a mistake.

Karens, Karens everywhere!

(Daily Mail only because they have their own copy of the video rather than embedding from Facebook. which is blocked at my router.)

In public spaces, many from trees, no less. I have also been there, like the poster above mentions. This sequence of events has my hackles on edge. One I could see it being a possibility. This many, all at once, in a fashion that harkens to one of the most common forms of racial violence? Something isnā€™t right here.

I have also seen it reported that the Oregon victim is a trans woman who is being misgendered. Which only furthers my suspicions.

I hate to be ā€œthat guy,ā€ but I seriously hope there is video of this event. ā€œMember of family claiming the police are not doing their job killed by policeā€ is a very very bad look. It may be that this happened exactly as described by police, but they have given us precious little reason to believe what they tell us.

At the moment you can take your pick from incidents of utterly fucking clueless tories and uk government policy u-turns but letā€™s go with thisā€¦

Idiot.

Heā€™s the foreign secretary but is utterly clueless about what taking a knee means and the history attached to it. But i think it just proves what others are saying about institutional racism and neglect of BAME communities during this pandemic because we have these people in high office that JUST DONā€™T GET IT.

Yup. Same here. Parliament had a debate about racism and at least a Green pointed out that it was a bunch of white guys talking. But the reliable racists said ā€œall lives matterā€ and ā€œprotests in a pandemic are irresponsibleā€. Fuckers. People who vote for racists, are racists. Itā€™s really is very upsetting for people to have to hear their representatives being racist.
