The mayor of Charlottesville has compared the city to a rapist. Actually, it was something of a total meltdown on social media. Mayor Nikuyah Walker penned a graphic poem to Facebook, which was promptly reported. She then added more prose to her initial work, and it got plenty of attention.
WTF?
wtf
This had to be said?!? Don’t off-road through cemeteries, OPP tell motorists
No respect for the dead.
Caledon OPP want people to know they shouldn’t go off-roading in a cemetery.

Another candidate for the Archie Award! Vancouver arts curator’s Indigenous ancestry claims panned as ‘pretendian’
Vancouver arts curator’s Indigenous ancestry claims panned as ‘pretendian’
Recent revelations that a Vancouver arts curator’s claims to Indigenous identity may be fraudulent adds to growing concerns about race-shifting in the arts and academic communities, where false claims of Indigenous identity can reap rewards and leave real Indigenous community members out in the cold.
Cheyanne Turions, a curator at SFU galleries, was outed as a “pretendian” last week after @nomoreredface published a Twitter thread that included screenshots of grants that Turions received from the Canada Council that were intended for Aboriginal curators, and worth $73,000, and another for $30,000 from the Ontario Arts Council.
This is the most pale-faced Indian ever. Her “apology” leaves me without pity
“I remain committed to pushing the work of dismantling supremacies within an ongoing settler colonial project further and making this work more precise. In part, this means figuring out how to work in a way that doesn’t detract from the urgent labour of Indigenous self-determination, and to figure out how I might use the privileges I am afforded in service of these decolonized futures.”
Why is it primarily Crazy Lefty white woman pulling this crap?

Police chief says Miami partying “couldn’t go on any longer”
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Pointing to over 1,000 arrests in one of the nation’s top party spots, Miami Beach officials warned Sunday that the unruly spring break crowd gathering by the thousands, fighting in the streets, destroying restaurant property and refusing to wear masks has become a serious threat to public safety.
Another night another Resturant completely trashed. This time a man decides to use a woman's head as a basketball on the asphalt.
This is why Miami Beach issued a state of emergency. It had zero to do with Covid and 100% to do with this type of NIGHTLY behavior pic.twitter.com/OaGYoQtTqi

A senior-level law enforcement source with U.S.Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in the Rio Grande Valley revealed the implementation of a plan to release migrant families soon after apprehension. The plan radically changes how illegal migrants have been processed in the past and orders Border Patrol agents to quickly release migrant families without notifying the immigration courts or issuing a Notice to Appear.
Parody video showing Trump knocking Biden down Air Force One stairs could lead to assassination attempt, MSNBC analyst says
Appearing on the ‘Dean Obeidallah Show,’ author and MSNBC analyst Malcolm Nance – who has claimed Trump is an “asset” of Russia and even suggested that the terrorist group ISIS suicide bomb a Trump property in Istanbul – hinted the sharing of the video increases the chance of potential violence.

Conservatives debate whether to declare that ‘climate change is real’ at policy convention
After grappling with Canadians’ climate concerns in recent election cycles, Conservatives engaged in fierce debate today over a policy proposal from a Quebec riding to declare that “climate change is real.”
The Portneuf—Saint Jacques riding association’s proposed policy change would add green-friendly language to the Tory playbook.
The backer is asking delegates to affirm that the party “recognizes that climate change is real” and that “the Conservative Party is willing to act.”
They’ll never win until they learn the media will always hate them no matter how desperately they try to suck up. But like Charlie Brown and that football they just can’t resist.
WTF?

UK police to treat misogynistic attacks as hate crimes on ‘experimental basis’ following murder of Sarah Everard
Police in the UK will soon begin treating misogyny as a hate crime on an “experimental basis”, following the abduction and murder of Sarah Everard, in an effort to provide data on violence against women and girls.
After weeks of activist lobbying, the UK government will ask police to treat misogynistic attacks as hate crimes in the same way that violence motivated by a person’s religion, race, or sexual orientation is considered.
Candace Owens on Cardi B lawsuit: ‘It was not an idle threat’

Pollster rebrands asking woman on a date or complimenting her looks as sexual harassment, akin to grabbing ‘bum’ or up-skirt photo
Polling giant YouGov has apparently redefined asking a woman out for a drink or complimenting her appearance as a form of sexual harassment, leading some to wonder about the future of a species that bans basic courtship behaviors.
The poll, which was released last week, asked “which potential forms of sexual harassment do European women most commonly experience?” YouGov surveyed women in the UK and four other European countries, hitting on a timely topic amid street protests in Britain over rising violent crime against women.
