#this is not justice for george floyd

[meatballlady]

btw I know there's probably already propaganda out there about this, but I wanna say my 2 cents on Tim Walz and the George Floyd protests.

He really listened to the protesters and gave them time and space to exercise their rights.

When not only riots were breaking out, but also non-local fascist extremists showing up looking to add fuel to the proverbial fire, THAT'S when the National Guard was there to stop the bullshit.

I've seen people on the right criticise him for not sending in the national guard immediately (i.e. against local protesters). Now there will be psyop propaganda against him, targeting us too.

Oh, and he also pushed for police reform as well, so this isn't just grandstanding either. As a local, I think he's handled it perfectly.

and here's an article I found if you don't want to take my word for it:

Memorial murals around the world for George Floyd, whose murder by Minneapolis police on 25 May 2020 sparked uprisings in cities around the US, and protests against police racism in various cities around the world.

There’s a troubling train of thought I see some places online- some people think Kanye is being cancelled because he pissed off the “wrong people” (Jews.) That kind of thinking, though often unintentional, still furthers the antisemitic lie that the Jews are the ones “in charge” in some way. In reality, brands are dropping Kanye for a combination of the white lives matter shirt ordeal, his antisemitic comments, and his lies about George Floyd. He is being cancelled for *both* his antisemitism and antiblackness

Bad News, Boomer Lovers: Digger Dropped Once Again

Recently, news of the game Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's Season 1 drop has been released. Titular Member of the team Captain Boomerang, aka George "Digger" Harkness is absent from most promotional material.

The WayneTech Skins, for example. Given to every character except Captain Boomerang

The fact that there's space for Boomerang on mobile only rubs salt in the wound.

If it was just Deadshot, Harley, and newcomer Joker who received the skin, I would not bat and eye because it would make sense to give the Gotham Rogues WayneTech Skins. But the inclusion of King Shark just makes you feel like Boomer is missing out.

To make matters worse, the only confirmed skin we get appears to just be made out of cardboard.

On top of that, the team layout they promote swaps in Joker, replacing Boomerang, despite the fact that I believe Joker's weapon types are more similar to Harley's.

Edit: It gets worse. They show off King Shark's version of the Reverse Flash Weapon. You know Reverse Flash. The Flash Rogue. Like the Flash Rogue they have in the game. Captain Boomerang is a Flash Rogue.

Why. Why do this.

Starting to think the reason why they gave Boomerang the cardboard skin is because he felt left out and had to make something for himself out of garbage.

Part 4 of me showing how DC's tend to be more sympathetic or at least more fun than their heroes (based on me playing Lego DC Supervillians). Mostly Flash Villians and Suicide Squad characters, this time:

Mirror Master: There's been two mirror masters. Sam Scudder and Evan McCullough. Skimming wikipedia, Sam Scudder seems pretty boring. He's just a simple convict who has mirror powers. But Evan McCullough (the one in the Lego game), oh boy. He was an orphan who was sexually assaulted at 8 years old and figured out who his parents were just to see them both die. That's all kinds of messed up, and it makes him incredibly sympathetic.

Killer Frost: There's been a few Killer Frosts (according to wikipedia), but the one trend I see: they're usually always scientists who get themselves in horrible accidents. I believe the current Killer Frost is Caitlin Snow, and wikipedia says her whole thing is that she's basically a vampire for heat due to a botched arctic experiment. And that's incredibly tragic.

Deadshot: Deadshot seems like he's got a really messed up backstory. A rich but negligent and abusive family, his mother tried to get his brother to kill his father. When he tried to stop them, he ended up killed his brother. That's incredibly dark and sad. Also, I think he has a kid whom he actually cares about. Which is sweet. At least he's possibly trying to be better than what came before him?

Captain Boomerang: Captain Boomerang actually does seem like a not great guy. He hates being ridiculed and grew up in poverty, but (at least in the comics, according to wikipedia) he's also a jerk. But he is fun and very entertaining, so I'll give him that.
