That’s probably bc it’s his day off from working for ICE!

Insulting.

Disgusting.

If a kid asked their dad “do you love me?” and he responded with “I love everyone” that’s another way to say “No”. When Republicans were asked “do black lives matter?” they said “[no,] all lines matter.”

I have lost all faith in American ppl…

Same. That's why I'm trying to leave. This country was always built on lies - now the rotten and poorly constructed foundation is falling a part with a whole damn orchestra announcing as much.

Well fellow Jeff, I hope you take the time to see if anything in Canada could interest you in here, we’re starting to lean crazy ass right tho…

I considered Canada, but housing is a total bitch...I might take a look at Vancouver primarily because idk if I'm going to be able to pass my German B2 test in time for my planned exit. Ontario seems like a no-go.

Vancouver is too expensive, but BC is where I’d like to be, I don’t know what you do for work, but if you’re an outdoorsman, skiing, hiking, biking, Golden BC is heaven… so many ways to die happy… and cheaper

I'm in healthcare, a lot of European countries offer preferred immigration for us. Sounds like my top-2 wants for Canada are probably no-go's then.

What are your top 2? We’re dying for healthcare workers, I’ll convince you yet, I was the dude they sent to the airport to pick up new workers and talk about the awesome stuff, small towns are hard for city folks, what are the 2 wants? Lol

My top-2 would be Ontario and Vancouver, probably the top-2 or 3 of options. Lol I've done travel work here in the US, it was nice. It would be temporary though, just long enough for me to pass the test I need to work in Germany. I do like that this option gives me the extra time I may need.

What’s your lifestyle? City mouse or country mouse, I’m half Norwegian so I picture every European as a skiing/hiking, you can get a house where I am for 1/6 or 1/8 the BC cost and work elsewhere in a bigger place, I’m more live cheap go work for bigger money elsewhere… I’ll sell you yet…

Honestly I prefer more smaller/mid-sized area's - just not tiny. Availability of great IPA's is a selling point (I'm well aware that these are difficult to find in Germany). I'm more than half Norwegian too. 😅

Golden BC had healthcare workers from the opposite end of the country, I went once and all the nurses and doctors were surprised to see someone because the town is young with an extremely healthy active population…

We’re so hard up for healthcare we have travel positions, have your big city home, go to a community in need in some of the most beautiful places, take advantage of their hospitality and recreation, back to the city for the advantages they have… east coast is beautiful, that’s where I live now..

Shitty thing we don’t have the massive mountains, I miss the mountains so much, now I’m depressed lol

If you love the outdoors, Interior or Cariboo is the best.

The whole MAGA anthem is - We need all the guns we can get to keep the government from invading our homes and killing us. The government invades a home and shoots someone in their bed and that person happens to be non-white: MAGA Response: … crickets I might respect them if they had principles.

Had a visceral reaction. So many flashbacks, Rodney King, Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, on & on

The GOP: Part of Outlaws and Disorder. This is literally them saying, "We know he broke the law and about half a dozen departmental policies and was found guilty, but should he be punished?"

“We want more murders of black people, not fewer!”

the real view of the GOP is "no lives matter"

Or only my life matters

Is that one day in prison before they hang the fucker?

nazi lives don’t matter

That dude looks like if Jesse Pinkman had made worse life decisions and ended up working for the DEA

I suppose it's darkly Ironic that the reactionary backlash against BLM over the past few years does more than anything I can think of to prove a core claim of the movement, namely, that the major institutions in the US act as if Black lives are not important

Self-evidently.

It will never not be funny to me that in the fullness of time the people who said institutionalized racism was a myth now go so far out of their way to provide evidence.
