I think that only exists in the District of Columbia - the state government needs to give permission, if I am understanding news casts correctly.

She added, “I’m not racist and i never have been...

Not sure why you thing Blake Lively isn’t interested in voting. She’s pretty vocally Democrat and did some campaign ads for MoveOn.org. And Reynolds only became an American citizen a couple years ago, and he and Lively made a pretty big deal about him casting his first American ballot because voting day was on his…

It’s like when people say, “I’m a nice person. I’m nice to everyone.” Like. Dude. That’s just not true. We’ve all been mean to someone. We were all kids once and so we all did stupid shitty things. Being racist (either covertly or overtly) doesn’t mean you just go around purposefully doing shit. We are all racist…

I 100% agree. It’s one of those things where we’ve learned that racism is bad, and therefor racist people are bad, and we’re not bad, or at least we don’t think we are, ergo, we can’t be racist. If we make a racist assumption, or happen to stumble upon some part of ourselves with racist perceptions, well, surely that…

Military police are a different thing I believe. I think that doesn’t involve posse comitatus.

Not that I know a great deal about them, but I seem to remember them both promoting voting? And he’s Canadian (from my home town) and for sure has been vocal about voting here. Maybe he couldn’t vote in the US?

He’s actually using active military troops in DC, the only place he legally can. I didn’t think he would, but once again he proved there’s no bottom there. Just look at the mess that idiotic buffoon has wrought. His term has been a disaster beyond all expectations and the only really shocking thing to me is that the…

Olivia Jade’s statement reads as something contrived and staged for her next social debut. It’s as if she is just rowing it in again.

So true. The correct approach isn’t to say “I’m not,” but to ask “Am I?” Only by continuing to ask that question can someone uncover the many ways in which “they are,” which is a critical first step on the road to changing bigoted attitudes.

St John’s bishop brought some righteous fury when she appeared on Anderson Cooper’s show tonight.  It was pretty amazing to hear. 

Exactly, I’m anti-rioting, which around here seems to mean that I’m focusing on the wrong thing. I’m tired of people trying to justify the destruction. It’s so easy for people who aren’t being impacted by the rioting to act like it’s not a big deal, but I have a feeling a lot of people would feel differently if it was…

THIS!

Not directly related to this but at least 9 military personnel carriers just drove through DC and pulled into the White House complex. Trump wants a massacre and is begging for an excuse. 

I even take issue with the “all this is replaceable” thing. One of the orgs that was targeted is a long-standing Native media organization. Fortunately a lot of their archive was off site being digitized, but anything that wasn’t is probably gone forever.

When the accomplices reported at the scene that they could not find a pulse, they all knew they had killed him then.

Yes, I thought today’s article is particularly ironic, considering the whole “properties we cherish” essay of the other day. Apparently people’s livelihoods and life savings aren’t worth protecting because they are “inanimate”.

Graffiti? Tons of these cities have had buildings burnt to the ground and cars set on fire. Maybe you would feel ok going out into that or being responsible for others to, but many aren’t going to want that. It’s unfortunate the poorest will suffer the most. And a few areas are likely to be attempting it to gain…

Right?

“Cities are attempting to regain control of a series of protests that have left protesters injured by overzealous police officers and buildings vandalized by disaffected citizens. That the most vulnerable have to pay the price for some graffiti is unconscionable.”
