Climate Progress (@climateprogress) February 07, 2025Obama is "polarizing" because a large part of this country would rather be wrong than admit the Black President is right. About anything.

OK. We make resisting arrest a felony. But every cop who makes an unlawful arrest also gets a felony charge. Deal? nypost.com/2015/01/26/pol…

So I was on the train to work this morning. Now, most women know that street harassers never think it's too early to street harass.
—
Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) February 06, 2025So that was happening. This dude was aggressively hitting on this woman, who was about my age. She was ignoring him. Everyone else was too.
—
Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) February 06, 2025****
He kept after her. I could hear him saying, "Come on. I want your number. You're so pretty. You don't want my number?"
—
Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) February 06, 2025She finally says, loudly, "NO, I don't want your number!" And what happened next was amazing.
—

This young woman a few seats away, looks up and she says, also loudly, "AND NO, I DON'T WANNA GIVE YOU MINE."
—
Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) February 06, 2025And there was this awkward silence. Like, at first people just stared at her, myself include. But then I realized, and slowly so did others.
—
Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) February 06, 2025****
The second woman's friend started laughing and she said (not as loud, but still audible) "NO, I DON'T WANNA MEET YOU NO WHERE."
—
Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) February 06, 2025And together they sang, really loudly (and off key) "NO, I DON'T WANT NONE OF YOUR TIIIIIME"
—

The dude trying to get the first woman's number just stared at them, and the woman he was harassing was just LAUGHING. He was done.
