Newton told Newsguard that Lee’s Facebook post misstated her story, and that the owner of the missing cat was “an acquaintance of a friend” rather than her daughter’s friend.
Lmao the neighbor who she supposedly heard it from said she heard it wrong, but not about the cat supposedly being eaten, but who the correct owner is.
I think I saw a documentary about a similar incident recently… it had two sports drink salesman in a minotaur truck badly parked getting towed & they drove it away while still attached & crashed. Long story short they had to do community service looking after kids to be role models & hilarity ensued…
If it were only a handful of people this wouldn't be happening. It usually takes an appreciative audience for people to feel emboldened to leap from rhetoric to calling in a threat or actually committing racist violence.
Given trump's persistent support, it could be that 40% of the country see this and think, like Lucille Bluth, good on her. Or that's what I worry about anyway.
Well it’s ugly as shit but it’s super functional so I really can’t complain. Some people thought the AC-130 was ugly, fat and slow till it shelled the fuck out of them
It is really disheartening that some people are eager to believe egregious lies, and wishing that such lies were true, rather than understanding and having compassion for their fellow humans. The video which I’ve seen being circulated around as “evidence of cat-eating Haitians” involved an individual who was not Haitian and was not even from Springfield.
It’s saddening that so many people devote their short lives on spreading hatred and violence when they could be putting efforts into furthering the human race and helping us to advance as a species.

I think it’s that these people actually really like inequality.
Furthering the human race involves helping other people, so a lot of effort is diluted into everyone, and ‘me and people like me might not benefit more than others’. Scapegoating an outgroup means reducing the status of others, so that ‘me and people like me will end up being elevated over that group’.
This preference for harming others is then turned into a potent political weapon, because hatred is still a legitimate political position. And, as long as it is so, I expect humans to hate themselves into irrelevance.

This is Twitter equivalent to fucking yourself down the bar skank ladder. I knew of Laura Loomer exclusively from Twitter when I was there and she was in a similar but less illustrious category as that guy who got caught pretending to be a black man, that weirdo whose profile pic looks like he bought a shirt too small in order to roid rage out of it, or that former Hercules idiot.
There are always better options than taking your own life
If you are in crisis, please talk to someone who can help - if you don’t feel comfortable talking with close friends or family - you can either call 988 in the United States or Canada, or find a relevant local resource via IASP
