I wish someone could influence some accountability for Breonna Taylor In KY too.

I was in the National Guard for over a decade. I was the “airmen of the year” 4 times. I was the golden child on the way to greatness...

Exactly. The moment we learned that the administration was tracking the menstrual cycles of young girls it had detained, it was clear that they were fully capable of tracking every detainee in order to reunite families that had been separated. They used that capability instead to create vulnerabilities in the…

Tom Cotton is unfortunately a SENATOR, not a Representative, which makes the whole thing worse.

It’s really worth hearing the original audio of this comment...

And you know that Bush’s statement is driving Trump crazy.  In this whole f*cked up piety display, that’s the only win for me:  thinking about his orangeness realizing the party might be getting ready to desert him.

I’m sure his lawyers will argue that there’s no proof he targeted Floyd as George Floyd—that is, he would have done this to any Black man. That’s worse, actually, but it may get him off the hook.

If any of these soldiers dare to resist or refuse to carry out orders, what will happen to them?

This guy bought the place over 20 years ago. He bought it for peanuts then and it’s probably worth many pretty pennies now. Fuck this asshole.

THIS.

Where are all the Edgar Maddison Welchs, locked and loaded and ready to defend children from predators? Could it be they care less about actual children of color than hypothetical white ones?

He’s a politician, no politician that isn’t an extremist is going to justify violence. I thought his speech was good and he was forceful in calling out the violence. Unlike trump who has flamed the fires and asked for more violence.

The land-owner chose to out the guy internationally. He can deal with what he has to deal with. If one is too stupid to understand that one should not do this sort of thing in the public sphere...welll...then one is too stupid.

As a landlord of an apartment with tenants who live near downtown Oakland I can say with certainty that the last thing on my mind would be my property if my tenants had acted heroically during a violent police response to save 70 people in a peaceful protest from tear gas and arrests. I would applaud them. And as a…

The one thing I’d be wary of is overcharging Chauvin. I’ve seen some people on social media advocating for first degree murder, and while I have a hard time imaging him getting off, I think if he does it would be because he’s charged with first degree murder and there’s really not evidence to show this was…

By all accounts, the Trump administration’s agenda of forced family separation and detainment has been a catastrophe

So, while I think GW Bush is a deeply problematic person, like it or not, a LOT of GOPers respect him. He’s not talking to black people, or people who read here on Jez. He’s talking to white republicans. White, moderate, republicans are going to read his statement and listen to him. We all start somewhere, and if he’s…

Also I suspect that the black people in positions of power in Atlanta (mayor and DA) were able to influence the response and transparency.

Kinda off topic /but I saw a video today where drew brees doubled down on his racism by saying he would never accept a person kneeling at the anthem. Still missing the point. 

The significant thing about the man who proactively sought the right to torture prisoners is that even a son of a bitch* like him can recognize someone even more evil., and maybe he represents to whatever shreds remain of the ”country club Republican” crowd that they must reject Trumpism.
