I’ve found that this particular workout http://www.startbodyweight.com/p/exercise-progressions_12.html is working for me. I have been working my way through the progressions. I really like the way that he does the pull-up progression. You have to be super careful with pull-ups or you can mess up your shoulders and…

To some degree, the SCPD may be partially responsible for MS-13's ability to grow so quickly. The SCPD has a history of ignoring victimization of the Latino population.

A discussion of the term Paddy Wagon. http://splinternews.com/a-complete-history-of-the-phrase-paddy-wagon-the-survi-1793855618 

White folks moving up to Harlem and then crying about how the community is mean to them is nothing new. In 2008, something similar happened when new residents moved into 2002 Fifth Avenue ($ 1 million apartments) and discovered that there had been a longstanding drum circle (since 1969) in Marcus Garvey Park.

Sounds like a good way to get a case of contact dermatitis or maybe a nasty yeast or bacterial infection. I need one of those nope octopus gifs. ;-) How the hell did he think that this was a super idea?

This has become routine at large-scale protests. The model of policing used was developed in response to protests of the FTAA ministerial in 2003. It is called the Miami Model. The cops come down hard and fast, beating on and arresting people. The media gets wrapped up in covering the new riot gear the cops are…

His physician has to get him off the amphetamines. This is either batshit crazy or some straight up abusive partner style gaslighting aimed at the press corp.

The CHARGE study is conducting the first round of work. Their work needs to be followed up on by other scholars to see which relationships hold and which don’t. This is the beginning of the process of determining which environmental factors may be potentially linked to autism. Autism is likely to have multiple causes…

Or mumps. Washington is having a nasty outbreak.

Kennedy should be “ripped open by the media”! I respect his environmental work but he knows nothing about vaccines and vaccine safety. There is so much good work that is being done right now and Kennedy and De Niro are threatening that work by diverting attention and funds. Don’t even get me started on the Ass Hat in…

My daughter has benefitted tremendously from public school. She is autistic (We think of it as an identity, a difference, not a disease. I know that there is some disagreement over the use of autistic vs person with autism.). We were lucky to live in a school district in Long Island, NY. The district provided access…

Cruel - not unusual. This kind of shit happens in jails and prisons daily here in the US. Usually without anyone noticing. When I taught in at a college in Long Island that served students from NYC, my students reported being arrested w/o being read Miranda rights.

Prison riots are rare events. They generally occur when the conditions in the prison become very bad. There are a significant number of forces that keep prisoners separate - racial hierarchies, prison hierarchies, no one wants to have their hustles exposed... Prisoners also know that they will pay a high price for the…

My husband is the same way as yours. I’m a sellout - regardless of the fact that I’m to one who has put her ass on the line several times while he stayed home. Our daughter is autistic and without the help that we were able to get, due to the ADA and IDEA, she wouldn’t have been able to speak with others and actually…

The march in Pocatello, ID just wrapped up. We had more than 500 people out here in the middle of super conservative Idaho.
