I'm not going to discuss the merits of having a discussion about something that outrageously offensive. Our right to be treated like human beings is not up for negotiation and yes, I am going to take this personally, because everybody should.
If somebody is going to come into my comments and say something like "Trump is the GOAT, quit yer whining," I'm going to block that person on sight. No polite dialogs with the guy, he's just gone.

Note: While I intend for this account to mainly be about things other than politics, apoliticality has limits. Some of you might have seen footage of incidents in which "the feds" that Trump sent into the Chicago area (ICE and the Texas National Guard) have run wild, brutalizing the locals.

As always, context matters. The news story our friend

was comment on was one about a tourist getting shot. If somebody doesn't think highly of our mayor, that's fine. But when he talks dismissively about people getting shot here, to Hell with that guy.

and I see this regurgitation of an Alt Right talking point
"90 percent democrat city. Sorry white liberals, you chose to support this garbage mayor and Govenor"
from "vinvin23." Having you ever found yourself not caring about somebody's free speech?

It's OK, but my dissatisfaction with my current banner is enhanced by it. I'll have to replace the banner.
