How did the French seek justice during the French Revolution? How did the American colonists seek justice during the Revolution? They did not seek justice thru the system. They could not have, as the system was too corrupt. The system was the problem.
Same thing here. We will have to go around the system to find justice. Secession would be the best solution. Let the lefties live out their totalitarian fantasies on their own dime. They can reap whatever they choose to sow. I prefer to be elsewhere, as detached as possible. Sadly, I fear a lot of violence and suffering must occur before that separation becomes reality.
"...the best way to educate children..."
There are few groups on Earth less qualified for this topic than SF's local government and SF's public school employees.
That said, it is great to watch the left once again turn on itself! There is no honor among thieves.
Like when the police investigate police and find police did nothing wrong.
You can also insert any other government agency, school district, bank, or investment firm. Nothing to see here! Move along.
The true lefties are mentally pliable, otherwise they would not be true lefties. They will follow wherever the wind blows them. Gov + "journalists" + Social Media will all read their latest talking points and all of a sudden China Flu is no longer a problem.
Don't forget that Fauci is a Hillary devotee. He is not to be trusted.
"...please tell [Hillary] I love her more than ever”
Good info but it could be broken down into multiple topics. Maybe don't just dump it all into one post.
Let's turn those frowns upside-down, people! We can celebrate BHM too! What a perfect opportunity to not only buy a copy of one of Thomas Sowell's great books, but an opportunity to buy a copy for friends, co-workers, and relatives. Maybe throw a link on various forums educating people about this great man:
BHM is also a great opportunity to educate everyone around the world about how disproportionate the number of murders committed by blacks are relative to their numbers in the US. Ruoghly 13% of the US population commit more than 50% of all murders, year in and year out.
Race means nothing. Culture, ideas, and actions do. Racists like YouTube love talking about race, but I don't.
I agree with some of your sentiments. There is no way to talk our way out of this crisis. It is equally unlikely to convince a majority of leftists that their ideas are wrong and that ours are correct. We're well past that point. I share your anger and frustration as well.
That said, violence should always be the last option. If our ideas and culture are truly superior, then we have to prove it. We have to live by our principles, regardless of the cost. That means not stooping to their level. Not convenient or easy to swallow but that is the price of being right.
Besides, there are other ways to fight this right now. Refuse your enemy support. Don't do business with companies that support leftist/communist causes. Close all your leftist social media accounts. Don't look at Twitter. Don't (re)post Tweets. If they want to be heard, they will have to come to us. Pull your money out of the stock market. Invest in crypto and physical PM's.
And don't give a cent to these companies: https://archive.is/oeorU
Buy whatever you'd like, but after Logitech came out in support of BLM, I dropped them permanently. I won't support racists or communists. Besides, there are tons of great brands out there to choose from.
From their website as of today:
"We are in, and have been in, a human rights crisis. Logitech stands with and up for the Black community to create positive change." -Bracken Darrell, CEO
Logitech and its brands have made donations to: Equal Justice Initiative, Souther Poverty Law Center, We Love Lake Street and other organizations that are fighting racial inequalities.

If Gamestop ran things, my property taxes would be like $3. They low ball everything like mad.
And this is behavior that Wall Street firms pull every chance they get. If they find out another firm is up a creek on a particular trade, word spreads like wildfire and everyone bets against them. But when the little guys do it? Oh no, no, no.
Yes: sticking it to the man!
Votes have consequences.
This article explains much of it:
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/7087-billion-reasons-why-exchanges-betrayed-retail-customers
When individual retail investors cost big hedge funds billions of dollars, the players (Robinhood, TDAmeritrade, etc) get reminded who pays the piper and they in turn start assblasting the small customers. Who is going to stop them? By the time any regulators or courts step in, the hedge funds will have already closed their short positions. There may be some punishment, but it will pale in comparison to what they were facing (total insolvency/bankruptcy). Besides, the regulators are all in bed with the industry. They won't do anything.
Now if retail investors revolt en mass, it could trigger the stock market crash that was already overdue. That would be fun to see. If you have money in the stock market, you may consider getting out while you still can.
Intentionally? Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity. This is the CCCP we're talking about. Have you ever browsed LiveLeak? Half their content is Chinese people dying in outrageously stupid ways. I have nothing against the Chinese people themselves but they are the modern day hillbillies. I have no doubt that the leak occurred due to incompetence.
May I suggest everyone show the world what we think of America's new President and of his executive order by exclusively referring to him as:
President China Virus
Thank you.
Anyone else keeping a list of names for...future reference?
I think someone is starting to get a bit nervous:

I can't find the news story at the moment but this reminds me of, in anticipation of the "Stop the Steal" rally, Washington D.C. declaring firearms prohibited in Freedom Plaza.

Broad strokes? Further polarization. Ramped up rhetoric from both sides. More draconian laws with large numbers of people openly disregarding them. The Press won't become more biased....... because they already hit rock bottom years ago, so they will just keep doing their propaganda work. The Right will continue to arm up but more on the Left will too. Reality will finally catch up with the US economy (and other countries too), the stock market, the USD, and real estate. Cats and dogs living together! Mass hysteria! And finally....some bad things will start to happen.
The end.
You mean like the phrase, "Black Lives Matter"?
If something is axiomatic, then there's no need to declare it. If there is a need to declare it, then did lefties previously believe that black lives didn't matter?
Hilarious to see Antifa running wild in Portland last night and turning on the DNC. Between millions of pissed off R's on one side and rapid, violent, and irrational commies on the other side, the D's might be in for a real squeeze.
And he/she/it shall forever more be known as "Buckethead Wendy".
Sad. Many such cases.
