Oh, and I should probably mention that the quotes are my own satire. I just remembered that Screenrant can sometimes get sarcastic like that too, so I'd better clarify.
"Director responds to another backlash over casting a woman of colour."
"A darker-skinned viking is historically inaccurate," say viewers of the feature film about vikings who put cattle horns on their helmets while riding their dragons.
"White people are being erased from our culture!" cries another viewer. "Where are all the blonde haired, blue eyed heroines in period pieces? Not casting another blonde heroine gives an inaccurate depiction of people of the times."

"So I'm actually cleaning up the community, you know getting them off the street" - Johnny McEntee
"Johnny McEntee, Trump’s Director of the Office of Personnel Management and a senior advisor to Project 2025 brags that he likes to hand out fake money to homeless people so they will get arrested when they use it.
Despicable"

'How come the right isn’t posting “shut up and kick” for this guy? I seem to remember LeBron James, Colin Kaepernick and Serena Williams being told to shut up and stick to their sport. I wonder what that difference could be?'

Jews cannot be silenced. That includes from other Jews who are holding more power than them.

Netanyahu is ALLOWED to be criticized. Criticizing Netanyahu is NOT racist.
Lovely family you got there, bro. :D

Ikes. There's a .social account called EndAntisemitsm that doxxes accounts which point out that killing Palestinians is wrong, calling them anti-Semitic and gives out "warnings" to instance moderators saying that blocking them "won't stop us from finding the bigots on your server'.

"Once, not long ago, a leader with great resources of potential and power faced a choice – bravely stake your legacy to a vision of an historic and just peace, or contort and sacrifice your country for the sake of your personal political longevity. He chose. Israel lost. End of story."

"A man carrying his child's body parts in bags, a child blown to pieces and hanging from a wall, starving humans mown down as they get food aid, a person tied down and flattened by a tank. I dread to think what we haven't seen. There is no language to adequately describe this evil." - Alex Turrall

This is great information, because my opinion on Rota was simply neutral due to lack of knowledge about him, much as everybody applauding in the House had no knowledge of about Hunka before any of this.

The first legislation they just pushed through regardless of criticism, but their attempt to repeal OH&S standards for rural industries was met with such a strong backlash (primarily by those who had so recently seen so many school kids KILLED in Humbolt by lack of commercial regulation for farmers), was thankfully walked back. #abpoli

Meanwhile, the Canadian right is trying to tell us that we need to "protect" the children by sheltering them and keeping them from learning about the existence of marginalized people.
There are children who need real protection. How about we do something about that?
