Do we as a society really need reminding don’t point weapons at police? Don’t do it folks.
Do we need a reminder that kids aren’t mini-adults, and they do stupid things sometimes? In any case, I’ll believe he pointed it at them when I see a video of it.
Hey I’ll give them some credit with that headline.
Not “13-year-old killed in police shooting” or “a 13-year old died during a police interaction” etc. Nope, they fully went with “Police in New York shoot and kill 13-year-old.” Thank you, PBS.
Also -
The shooting happened Friday night after officers in Utica stopped two youths at around 10:18 p.m.
One of them fled and pointed what appeared to be a handgun at the officers, according to a statement by the Utica Police Department.
I’ll be interested to see when that footage is released and what it contains.
Fuck if it doesn’t seem true.
Sorry… say no to the specific thing Jesus did in the Bible? And this was by a school of divinity?
You know it.
Our Democrats would never let him win, and that’s before you even get to the Republicans. Republican heads might actually explode if we elected a progressive who dared to call themselves a Democratic Socialist.
Meanwhile, Democrats are also crushed under the thumb of all the money big business pours into bribery lobbying, and they have already made it clear twice that they won’t let him get on the ballot.
We’ll never get progressive policies or a progressive president unless the progressives infiltrate D to the extent maga has infiltrated R.
We’d just be disappointed again. The right would hate him more than Hillary and corporatist Dems still control the DNC. They wouldn’t let him win.
OTOH a common opinion I hear is that he probably has more capability for direct lasting change being where he is, and I can see that being true, so there is that bit of small comfort.
I’d give my life savings to see this from Sanders. Of course, then we’d lose him, so it would have to be part of his retirement announcement.
That seems to have been the problem because I’m still not a moderator. Yay! Thanks again!
It’s crazy how they’re completely ignoring any substance of the debate and solely focusing on appearances. It’s almost like that’d favour a populist candidate or something.
I thought Biden seemed a little worse than you did, but I mostly agree with you. There’s no possible thing that could happen now that would make me cast any vote that might assist Trump getting in regardless. BUT, it’s absolutely legitimate that folks should have an opinion about not only the health of the President today, but his likely health at the end of his next term. I think they really amplified it in the post-debate coverage beyond what was reasonable or wise, but I do think it’s a reasonable concern for someone to have.
I think the problem was partly Biden, but that was made much worse by the fact that I don’t think I’ve ever seen Trump sound more coherent.
Yes, he still lied, and yes he’s still Trump. But it wasn’t like the 2020 debate, and it wasn’t like his recent ridiculous rantings about Hannibal Lector, etc… This was the closest thing to a functioning adult I’ve seen Trump look since he entered politics, and meanwhile about the worst I’ve personally seen Biden come off.
I disagree with the meme in OP because Trump voters must be gleeful today. How could they not be? They believe everything he said, so they just saw their guy being the best he can be and Biden being nearly the worst he can be.
However, I also think this is recoverable if Trump returns to form in the next debate, especially if Biden has more spring in his step. Maybe he had a cold? (seriously I wondered if he was under the weather)
Microsoft has gone too far:
Just now, with this?
No idea why they’d think that…
How is it possible to be a member of the pre-civil-rights generation of white people and be so oblivious as to

She pretty much created her own bad reputation. Not just from this show, but it definitely cemented it. There was also a sex tape scandal, but I think it was wrong to slutshame someone for something like that even back then.
Her main reputation was always vapid, filthy rich, snotty socialite - she was hardly the first, but she might have been the first we got to watch in a seasons-long reality show.
Edited to add - if that stuff was all an intentional move to bring shame on her family for how they mistreated her growing up, I’m now her biggest cheerleader.
You know, I wonder if the issue isn’t that the removing-yourself-as-mod action that you did on lemmy.ml maybe didn’t properly federate back to lemmy.world . That at least makes sense in my brain.
I could totally see that. Thanks again!
Beats me, but I’m not ready to assume literally every black owned media company was late unless CNN explicitly says that, which was NOT explicitly said in the article. The article cites one that was late.
I only have the same article you do. I’m just not the one assuming The Atlanta Black Star is the only black-owned media outlet, or that every black owned media outlet was late.
Context would lead me to think there must be at least ten, or this demand would make little sense. But that’s a lower boundary.
Rep. Meeks also called on CNN to “immediately to credential a minimum of ten Black-owned media outlets
And also, I would imagine that they aren’t doing this bit of not-enough just for The Atlanta Black Star alone:
Hours before the debate, the Biden campaign will host a press briefing for members of Black-owned media.
There very well could be a legitimate thing going on here, but until CNN says “every black owned media outlet turned in their application late” I’m not going to assume that based off a sample size of one.
Yep. When I got out of bed this morning I would not have predicted this would be the day I’d have respect or sympathy for Paris Hilton.
I don’t claim this is intentional on your part, but I believe you’ve created a false dichotomy. There is a spectrum of outcomes between what happened here and what happened in Uvalde.
(and again, I’ll believe he was pointing it at them when I can see a video proving he did so)
