I look up at the clear skies and bitch about it to my roommate who also skis . no snow The weather has been nice for way too long and it ' s starting to get to me . <| sep |> its only protesting when you are following the laws . Really ? So the civil rights movement wasn ' t protesting when they took highways and performed sitins ? They were just lawless heathens defying the state ? What about the labor strikes and takeovers of factories ? Those were super illegal , and they are the reason we have collective bargaining and much of our workplace rights . <| sep |> The CEO of a social media company just personally edited some of his users comments . It wasent automated or incidental , it was an intentional act . He just cast the entire platform of 100 million users into question , for what he claims is a joke . Even if this was the first instance of abuse ever , how is it not clear that there is a real problem here ? This isnt an oopsy . This is a fucking abuse of power that makes the whole platform suspect .
