Probably for the same reason that streaming porn sites have filters and categories?

Not entirely within the scope of this thread because it's not strictly brands and is almost entirely regular users, but it's still related to posting squares: People are (were?) doing same thing on Instagram by posting black squares in the BLM tag to show solidarity... resulting in the whole tag being nothing but a blank black wall, pushing out all the posts that had information and resources.

Even a week ago when the idea of blackout tuesday was brought up there was pushback pointing out that everyone logging off would actually be really bad for drawing attention to important posts. Not only did people not read those warnings but they somehow made the plan even worse

Wrong as gently caress. Report the guillotine thread for your sentencing.


It was done by the DC Mayor, you know the guy who is in charge of the police and yet....

Did you read what the article you quoted said about the mayor?

quote:

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser called federal police’s use of munitions on protesters in front of the White House “shameful.” She said that the methods used by law enforcement 25 minutes before the 7 p.m. curfew and without provocation by “peaceful protesters” will make the job of D.C. police more difficult.

I mean yeah it's performative and hollow, but she seems way better than most mayors

"better" is a tricky metric, given that my city's mayor ended her last term getting convicted for stealing from a charity fund for impoverished children, but this particular move of Bowser's is intended to distract people from the fact that like a week ago she proposed slashing the city's affordable housing budget by $16 mil to give those same cops a raise with a gesture that has as little as possible to do with actually addressing the loving problem

DC has it's own police force and they are bastards and under the purview of the mayor. If the mayor does anything less then using the metro police to protect the protestors from federal deathsquads she is complacent and this is 100% performative meaningless redmeat for liberals. gently caress her, gently caress the police, gently caress this distraction and gently caress you for defending it.

The DC BLM chapter has said as much. Mayor Bowser's most recent budget increases MPD spending by $19 million. It makes liberals feel good to see a slogan painted on 16th street, but until the mayor follows up with concrete action it's just pablum. I'm not holding my breath.
