Reply to TIL in the 1950’s statues depicting Christopher Columbus making an indigenous woman flinch on one side and Davy Crockett arresting an indigenous man in front of his family on the other were taken down from the US capital by hillo538

I’m not one to normally say that we should destroy pieces from the past, because I think they’re teaching moments and ways to better our future.

But after seeing closeups of The Discovery of America, I would be waiting in line to smash it with a steel head hammer.

Reply to ‘The Hug’ changed American politics. How a Chris Christie-Barack Obama greeting signaled the death of civility. by Flashinglights0101

I’m going to be downvoted for this, but fuck these sensitive people who are triggered by a polite gesture from a republican governor to a democratic president. The whole state was in chaos, some more than others. I had to shower in a bucket for two weeks, and I know two people who lost their homes. The only shining light was that everyone, no matter your political affiliation, was working together. Because we are all people and citizens of the United States.

If you’re angry at that hug, I suggest you huddle back into your safe space, you fragile, sensitive snowflake. Don’t forget your participation trophy before you go.

Reply to Any advice on my ex bf’s ex wife who keeps contacting me and harassing me? Even after I filed a harassment complaint at my local police dept. officer contacted her and told her to stay away and not make contact. She has continued. What can I do next? by enabed

This might be above Reddit’s pay grade. Have you contacted a lawyer? Have you also contacted the ex wife’s family to let them know she’s continuing to harass you? I don’t know if that’s a good idea 100% but if my family member was harassing someone, I’d perform an intervention with the back of my hand and stop them.
