This is terrible, and I’m sorry you ever had to go through this. It is all too common. She encouraged you to insult her daughter rather than apologizing and punishing her for it?! It makes you wonder what they say at home. 

I’m sorry this happened to you. This is too frequent an experience and must be stopped. 

The most shocking thing about this entire episode was that Spike Lee had not won an Oscar before now. 

Pirro desperately wants to be “one of the good ones” in the eyes of the audience she panders-to. The white nationalist checklist is pretty damn specific and at the end of the day, she doesn’t tick all the boxes. The Fourth Reich will use her as a foot soldier until it’s her turn to be crushed. Does she really think…

No shit? I used to live in Bolton Hill from ‘01-’06 back in the day when the Mount Royal Tavern served cans of Boh for 75 cents, before “Station North” was a thing. Then I moved to Mt Vernon. It’s weird to go back and see all the hipsters and shit that have descended like a plague of locusts. North Ave was basically…

Oh, so you went to MICA too? 

It’s completely disingenuous. All these guys came from the same damn universities. Fucking George Dubya Bush graduated from Yale on a legacy admission. It’s all a bunch of bullshit.

Something that a lot of Trump supporters refuse to realize is that the “purity” checklist is actually quite specific. Odds are they will not make the cut, but they *will* be used as foot soldiers until their turn comes. 

When I hear “community-based alternatives to policing”, I hear “a bunch of extrajudicial white militia types who think it’s their business to police all public spaces”...I don’t know much about it, though.

Gentrification of Baltimore is in full force and it’s really, really obvious.

I want to know where all these white developers think white Millennial “creatives” are getting their money...they may have white privilege on their side, but white Millennials are still overeducated and underpaid, too—usually saddled with…

I laughed way too hard at this.

But also, who gives a shit, because we live in a secular democratic republic and not a theocracy? Nice way for him to deflect and derail with his Keebler-ass.

Usually, it’s the former, unless it’s the police. The police are really, REALLY corrupt. And then there’s been this rash of little shits that go around doing stupid bullshit like pushing random-ass people into the harbor and punching strangers in the face.

I will be voting for you. This has to end. Fuck Larry Hogan.

The very first time I realized the fundamental truth of FUCK THE POLICE was when I was 14 and was punched in the face by my father, a grown-ass man. I called the police because he was a grown-ass man punching a 14 year old girl in the face, and because he fucking deserved it, and because white people in particular are…

The media *loves* spectacle. They are literally harvesting human attention to sell to their advertisers, and spectacle gets it done like no other.

It’s true: the NAACP was even started by white people. Those white people were initially convinced somehow, though.

Judaism has been racialized, though, and Jews are still not considered “white” by hategroups and most Republicans.

The caveat here is that first graders are too young to organize and march, and teenagers will be able to vote in a few years. The teenagers have also been exposed to this all of their lives with repeated dismissal, while the kids at Sandy Hook didn’t yet know the difference. The teenagers are becoming old enough to…

Then stop reading it.

A thing that keeps getting lost in this story is that the shooter was a white supremacist. He carved swastikas on his rifles. The press may be paying more attention because actions of protest (or most things), when taken by white people, are usually granted legitimacy (unless the white people involved are part of…
