“Okay, you can protest but you can’t put an inflatable hot tub in the middle of the street or block a border crossing”

“COMMUNISM!!!1!”

It’s like a convo you’d have with a child.

wtf new york times?

maybe the sheer fucking embarrassment of it all will force the cops into action.

It would allow the federal government to expand measures to reopen impeded border crossings and clear the blockade of about 400 trucks in Ottawa, the nation’s capital, that has been overwhelming the police, snarling traffic, undermining the local economy and disturbing residents in the normally quiet city.

The next step will be to call in the Army to assist local Ottawa police in removing 27 people who refuse to leave an Arby's.

I would bar the doors and light the Arby's on fire. No one inside of an Arby's is worth the effort to remove.

If there's anything I've learned over the last few years it's that the right wing bot-o-sphere is incredibly good at making it look like things are trending that very few people actually think.

Yeah, it's really hard to tell what "truth" is anymore which is pretty disturbing. I do hear/see really dumb fucking people I know repeat/retweet that shit though. Concerning.
