I don’t either. I think they must be the worst kind of sociopath. I mean, they pursue these careers with the expectation that they will be able to decide if someone lives or dies. That’s messed up, and it’s a wonder there are any decent judges or attorneys at all.

I’m to the point where I want the United Nations and international community to become involved fighting the actions of my own country.

The white moderates that King were referring to were people who said things like “slow your roll Jack” and “you can’t force these things”.  This particular moment find me a Democrat who has defended what’s happening at the border. Fuck, find me a serious Republican (oxymoron maybe). You can’t.

Obama helped transfrom ICE into the massive monstrosity it is, you can’t really begin to break down the horrors being enacted by the Trump admin without addressing that fact and the attitudes and ideologies that kept those abuses so hush-hush for Obama’s 8 years.

We must have a lot of eyes, because we got our first black eye right around the time we gave the Indians smallpox. Second black eye was slavery I guess.

Don’t get me wrong - what’s happening is an abomination, but that photo was taken in 2014.

neither do the Dems my guy

I wish folks had been as mad about this during the Obama years

I am so glad the title wasn’t an accident (my mind immediately went to the Blur song). I think BlaqkAudio did the song better, not the least of which because Davey Havok is pretty fluid in gender presentation, so here are both!

I like to think she sat there and did it the hard way. Maybe in solidarity

A quick highlight for folks who may not know: The National Sexual Assault hotline can help folks process trauma even if it isn’t something recent. I know sometime the word “hotline” can make people think that it’s for only immediate crises; if you’re rethinking something from the past and want safe and supportive…

Irrelevant. All kids are kids. We made a decision as a matter of policy, backed by sound science, that crimes committed by kids have to be treated differently. We decided that not only are kids presumed to be redeemable, we won’t even give ourselves the discretion to say that one isn’t. All kids should be given that…

Thank you for bringing the phrase “Al Gore’s buck wild internet” into my life.

You know what gets me? That whole “A Few Bad Apples” defense? It forgets the next like “A few bad apples... spoil the whole bunch.”. These departments, a LOT of departments, need to have a whole house cleaning, down to the fucking floor boards. Rip out all the training material. Rip out the senior officers. Start it…

“Hell it’s more often the conservative kids (we have a handful) get offended.”

This is a good point. Another observation about many of these folks’ ideas about colleges/universities: none of them seem to have really spent any time on college campuses in the last few years. I have worked on or around college campuses for almost two decades now and, based on my experiences, none of these students…

This. Other than the idea victims might need to be handled differently than those suffering at the hands of strangers, the fact that there is an entirely different category of crimes for those perpetrated against “loved ones,” and that difference is NOT that those crimes get harsher sentences than crimes committed…

Fuck Dr. Phil, and not in the sexy way. All shows like this are predatory, as far as I’m concerned. They say they have two objectives: to entertain and inform. Neither of those things involve ethically ensuring people who need help get it. I’m glad that Herzog is able to say that his experience was a net positive, but…

Viewers are advised that what they are viewing is a spectacle and is not real and that the train will not, in fact, come out of the movie screen and run over them.
