U.S. Politics: The Biggest Trade in WNBA History

In a Juneteenth Op-Ed, R&B Singer Macy Gray is pressuring the U.S. Government to replace the current American flag because most people within the Progressive Movement on the Far Left of Liberal Democrats and SJW's (Social Justice Warriors) firmly believe that it's a "symbol of racism" where it still bears a familiar resemblance to the Confederate flag which was created as "a symbol of opposition to the abolishment of slavery" citing the U.S. Capitol Riots on January 6th, 2021 as the reason behind the decision to officially discontinue Old Glory:

PANIC! SOMEBODY SAID AN OP-ED WHICH HAS NO WEIGHT!

Try harder.

I don't know why you need to add quotes around the description of the Confederate flag when it was designed for this reason as quoted by the creator

"As a people we are fighting to maintain the Heaven-ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race."

Speaking in my authority as (as some people have said) an SJW, and because people have already pointed out the rest of it, I don't see a resemblance to the Confederate [battle] flag unless every other object that features stars and those three colors necessarily looks like the Confederate [battle] flag. Does every yellow-and-black object resemble a bee?

However, it is a symbol of racism -- but the reason why it's a symbol of racism (and why Macy Gray is technically wrong because any American flag will necessarily be a symbol of racism) is because America is an extraordinarily racist country even to this day. This op-ed exists only to gin up fearmongers ( :thonk: ) and anyone who uses even baseline critical thinking skills will recognize this -- and the pointlessness of the act of changing it -- pretty quickly.

I feel like you could always find isolated stories like these and use them to prove that the "libtard SJWs" are outta control.

As far as the United States is concerned, my problem doesn't reside in it's history per se, but in our unwillingness to fix our mistakes.
We still support voting right violations, and we don't fix problems that disproportionately affect people of color.

Connecticut has legalized recreational cannabis yesterday. Now 18 states have legal cannabis. Rhode Island may be next, but don't count on it.

Also yesterday, Montenegro and Serbia adapted the new EU accession methodology, with no progress in the actual process:

We'll see if there is progress in the December meetings.

Eric Adams looks like he's in position to win the NYC mayoral race. Sad. It's insane that Wiley is even close to touching the mayoral seat: she's no answers to anything; AOC made a mistake to endorse her. Yang should've dropped out a while ago and endorsed Garcia, maybe then things would've been different.

Is Garcia that level of "actually just a standard US Libertarian but our parties suck so bad that they're able to infiltrate the one that's supposed to be relatively left" that Yang would actually endorse her, though? God I never want to hear about Andrew Yang ever again. **** that guy.

New York State just disbarred Rudy Giuliani for spreading lies about the 2020 Election.

She worked in the DeBlasio administration, so I don't think so. She appears to be an ordinary liberal. They did agree to campaign with each other before primary voting took place though.

It's so ****ing funny that he repeats the scorpion and the frog story. He is the ****ing scorpion. Betrayal is his nature. He's demonstrated it for decades and these idiots still don't see it.

Like his presidency alone was people lining up to fall on their sword for him, only for him to screw them over every time.

The settlement regarding Juul is complete BS. They paid 40 million but how many hundreds of millions did they make by violating the rules?? No one has the guts to keep corporations in check.

Same as Google, Facebook and others.

Pay virtually pennies because fines haven't been updated for megacorps in way too long.

That's one thing that needs updating BADLY. Bigger fines for bigger corps. And court orders to fire CEOs and redistribute shares fairly and evenly.

Somewhat goodish news, both Ethiopia and Eritrea has withdrawn from Tigray region due to Blinken's ultimatum.

This might end up like a Somaliland situation, but at least the violence is going to be drastically decreased.

The mega corporations have the government by the balls literally... They got all the politicians paid off and protected from any real consequences of their crimes.
