You tell that to yourself. You don't even believe covid pandemic is real or the global warming. If voting didn't matter candidates wouldn't change their opinions on social issues, but you obviously don't care about such issues.

So back to my point.

You are and you have been always in the tinfoil hat area.

And you are obviously asleep, your still twisting my words. Its ok you see me in that area, im above such matters.You go ahead and stay glued to your tele watching killers liers and deceivers running this world.They are your friend and want the best for us all. And I find it funny you speak of rights but dont mention what your country has done to Palestine.

Unbelievable. That was 2020's big danger but now its escalating again after seemingly being defused.

Iranians are flexing on the US whilst China sends soldiers to its border with India.

Not good

Sacha Baron Cohen Trolled a Right-Wing Event With a Ridiculous Singalong

https://www.thrillist.com/entertainment/nation/sacha-baron-cohen-olympia-wa-singalong-wuhan-flu

After insisting that there would not be a second season of his headline-generating Showtime prank series Who Is America? because "it would be impossible," it looks like Sacha Baron Cohen is back to his old tricks. The Borat star, who has made a long career out of making powerful figures incredibly uncomfortable and whipping unsuspecting crowds into a frenzy, stopped by the “March for Our Rights 3” rally in Olympia, Washington on Saturday, where he treated the event's attendees to his new song, which included lines about injecting Dr. Fauci with "the Wuhan flu" and chopping up mask-wearers "like the Saudis do."

Judging from the videos available online, the performance went over how you'd expect, with many of the event attendees cheering along to the song's intentionally provocative lyrics and responding to the comedian's call-and-response commands. Dressed in overalls, a hat, and a fake beard, Cohen appeared to be playing a new character, a type of right-wing political bluegrass singer. This could be a one-off prank or part of a new project from the notoriously secretive writer and actor. You can check out the clip yourself, below.

Not everyone found it amusing. As the Daily Beast notes in its write-up of the incident, the meet-up was hosted by the Washington Three Percenters, a far-right group that was quick to denounce Cohen's performance on their Facebook page. The organization claims that Cohen got "on stage, sang racist lyrics and made multiple hateful remarks then escaped in a private ambulance when security and attendee’s [sic] attempted to stop their hateful rhetoric."

In an interview with NPR, Matt Marshall, the the founder and former leader of the group, detailed how exactly Cohen ended up on the stage. Apparently, a California-based group called Back To Work USA, which claimed to be looking to support conservative voices in largely Democrat states, contacted the organizers and offered significant financial support for the rally "in the $50,000 range" and provided its own private security. "I mean, they played the game," Marshall told NPR. "We talked to them about how frustrating it was to be labeled racist, and they agreed with us. Like, we really let the guard down and trusted them."

The NPR piece provides a thorough breakdown of how exactly Cohen's team operates. Unsurprisingly, the results tend to piss people off. Yelm City Councilman James Blair, who was at the event and wrote about the fallout on Facebook, described Cohen's performance as "a bullshit stunt." 

For fans of Cohen's brand of confrontational comedy, this new stunt has clear echoes of the "Throw the Jew Down the Well" performance he did in character as his most famous character Borat as part of Da Ali G Show back in 2004. In 2006's gotcha-comedy blockbuster Borat, he performed the national anthem at a rodeo as Borat to an increasingly hostile crowd of onlookers. No matter the venue, the guy is pretty much always willing to go for it. 

With Cohen's ever-growing fame and the rise of social media, which can make any public conflict or politically charged interaction go viral, pulling off these performances has grown more complicated, and for a period it looked like Cohen was done putting himself in these often tense scenarios. Is he working on a new movie, a new show, or is this a one-off experiment? Maybe he simply got tired of looking at the news on his phone during quarantine and decided to start some trouble.

Casey Short, Julie Ertz display the heart that’s needed

https://theathletic.com/1897344/2020/06/28/quarantine-randomness-casey-short-julie-ertz-display-the-heart-thats-needed/

Watch them.

One was overcome by emotion. The other was overcome by compassion.

One cares so much it was hurting. The other saw her sister hurting and her reaction was to care.

One was Black. The other was White.

They knelt. They cried. They held each other. In doing so, Casey Short and Julie Ertz illustrated the way. Of course women would. Some of the key elements needed for this country to progress were so profoundly on display during the national anthem just before the Chicago Red Stars took on the Washington Spirit on Saturday. Love over politics. Acknowledgment over disrespect. Humanity over tradition. Those elements — love, acknowledgment, humanity — are usually missing from the discourse surrounding race. Undoubtedly, the discussion can still use much more. Something about this national conversation about inequity feels different in part because these elements seem to be part of the equation more than normal. In fact, they’re so present as to prompt skepticism.

But this organic moment before the second game of the National Women’s Soccer League’s Challenge Cup opening day was symbolic of what this unity can look like when it’s real.

“I think the emotions you saw Casey have prior to the game, and probably Julie at that point as well,” Chicago coach Rory Dames said, “I think a majority of our team has been having those kinds of emotions all day, struggling with what was the right thing to do or how do you show solidarity, and how do you support the Black Lives Matter movement and what’s going on.”

Before he got to the microphone for questions after the game, you could hear Dames, whose Red Stars lost 2-1, talking with someone about how his team “mentally (they) just cracked.” This is what players have been saying all along, trying to help people understand. It’s why Kyrie Irving was leading the charge to not finish the NBA season. Why the WNBA’s Renee Montgomery and Natasha Cloud announced they were skipping the WNBA season.

This moment is tremendous. The stakes are so major. With such comes emotional and psychological weight heavy enough to consume a person. Even for those who choose to play, many of them will be doing so with added density. You don’t need to know anything about Short to comprehend something major is pressing on her heart. You don’t need to know she was a six-time member of the dean’s list at Florida State and has a master’s degree for her pain to be worthy of acknowledging. You don’t need to know she’s overcome two season-ending injuries and fought her way back to feel good about having empathy.

Just watch her. Watch her.

 

Whatever it means to her was enough to drop her to her knees and cry like no one’s watching. Whatever is going on in her life and in her mind was enough to break the dam holding back the hurt. This is real. This is serious. Ancestors died for this. Grandparents worked all their lives to pass this down. Parents have been keeping this remembrance. This isn’t a debate to be won on social media. This is life. This is the struggle. Smiling through worry. Grinding through fear. Hoping through frustration. Every day. This means everything.

Now watch Ertz. Watch her.

 

She validated Short’s reality without explanation. She isn’t concerned with who is watching, or who will say what. She prioritized the person.

All these statues are coming down, and flags being discontinued, and names of known racists coming off buildings, because this country is finally acknowledging the hurt of Black people. As country music star Faith Hill tweeted about her native Mississippi state flag: “We have to realize that this flag is a direct symbol of terror for our black brothers and sisters.”

That is where the future begins, the very first step in any solution that will lead to equity and unity. Acknowledging that an entire community of people has been hurting for centuries.

Malcolm X once said if you stick a knife in his back nine inches and pull it out six inches, that’s not progress. Even if you pull it out all the way, that’s not progress. In order for progress to begin, he said, it starts with healing the wound the knife made. Healing. That’s where real progress begins.

Short clearly needed healing. Ertz was willing to give it.

Watch them.
