News in Brief
Sweatshop Worker Devastated To Hear Jacket She Worked So Hard On Looted
—-
SHENZHEN, CHINA—Upset about the theft of one of the thousands of garments she had sewn, sweatshop worker Li Chen was devastated to hear Monday that the jacket she worked so hard on was looted. “It breaks my heart that I slaved away for 14 cents an hour in an extremely hot and poorly ventilated factory just to have my hard work stolen from Zara,” said Chen, explaining that it felt like she lost the tip of her finger sewing the lapel for nothing after learning that someone snatched the garment rather than paying the full retail price. “I don’t work 16-hour shifts so some person can waltz into a store and take the jacket I made without paying $85. It’s just absolutely devastating, that stitching was a nightmare. I should just take a pay cut to help out this poor company and everything they’ve been through. I feel bad for my shift supervisor who put his heart and soul into screaming at me to work faster.” At press time, Chen was comforted to learn that insurance covered the stolen item, and Zara would be just fine.

I came across this post last night, and have to share it. I vaguely know this person. Her family went to the same church I went to as a kid, and she posted this on my idiot right-wing brother’s FB post of Trump’s tweet declaring Antifa a terrorist organization. There is just so much…well…read it for yourself. It’s breath-taking. The vast amount of gullibility required to swallow one word of this…and the inherent racism…it’s truly impressive.

Well, the only thing they left out is the money “comes from the Clintons.”

LOL. Guess what? One of my brother’s other friends said she saw “George Soros’ fingerprints all over this.”

I told my husband about my sexual assault case.
& he blamed me for it.
he called me a hypocrite & told me I put myself in that position, ”I knew better” & I shouldn’t have been there, that I shouldn’t have been drinking.

We’ll be divorced in July.
This is why we don’t report.

I’ve been accused of being racist against whites. That’s impossible. I employ a white safety in my Madden franchise.

I was joking.

Antifa people themselves call it “ANN-tee-fah.”

A minute or 2 of this shows that.

Yeah, I knew you were joking.

Maybe right wingers are deliberately mispronouncing it. I just saw this barf-inducing video in which the former CIA ranting guy mispronounces it while laying out a complete fiction.

Wtf is this? Now it’s “Bernie Bros” causing the civil unrest? I think this dude was radicalized by Chris Matthews. FFS, get a grip on reality. 🤦‍♀️ pic.twitter.com/vFaOALZi5e

The Crushinator@Big_mood_energy
I’m confused, are Antifa cowards who get hurt by balloon animals, or are we violent thugs?

I’ll bring it up at the next meeting.

Interestin’ thread

Tonight I did a little bit of research into why, exactly, the U.S. Government has 1.4 BILLION pounds of cheese stored in a cave deep underneath Springfield, Missouri, & now I’m like “this is a perfect encapsulation of everything that’s wrong with this country.” Fucking CHEESE.
