“Make a good movie ...” The fact that he could *make* a movie, with all the $$$ and clout that requires, tells you all you need to know.

Love can do wondrous things. A lot can happen in those twenty-seven seconds.

Thanks for this. We need to call out each instance of little black children being treated like grown adults and having their concerns and feelings ignored. We need to be as vocal as possible about how our children are treated (especially at school) and to talk about mental health issues in the black community. And the…

One day at a time. And when days seem too long, break them into smaller pieces. The amends you’re making will provide such clarity and good will. Good luck.

There’s a lot more going on with his suicide than just him being exposed as a rapist. I say this because there is going to be an avalanche of blame (and harassment and worse) directed at his victim. Before he blessedly relieved the Earth of his presence, a local public radio station was publishing an ongoing…

Yes. I received a $9,999 inheritance once, for this reason.

You sound like an amazing person. I am wishing you strength and love as you continue your recovery.

As someone in recovery who has been lucky enough to start to recover and repair close relationships that had been strained BC if my addiction, the article by Philip Seymour Hoffman’s wife is something I really needed right now to keep motivated. I think as an addict you know in a general sense that what you’re doing…

Fuck my friends for not being massive, rich, movie stars. It’s so fucking inconsiderate.

Ok I would totally do this if I had that kind of money (minus the ridiculous suitcases and $20 dollar bills). Does that make me a terrible person? I’m pretty sure he donates a fair amount to charity as well and he has more money than he can spend, so it’s not like this is taking away from charity donations or…

I’m anxiously awaiting the pearl clutching and cries of selfishness and wanting to “have it all” over a man becoming a father at 54.

This is all you need to know. Black women are the base of the Democratic Party. Despite voter suppression, black voters came out strong. I wish the Democratic Party would take the issue of voter suppression more seriously. Let’s hope we get something out of this. Jones did thank us in his victory speech and quoted…

This is the correct fucking headline. All over Facebook, my friends are celebrating with “way to go Alabama.”

Fuck that, this is only a victory because enough Black men and women managed to break through the supressive tactics of a white supremacist STATE. This isn’t “way to go Alabama,” it’s “Way to go black voters!…

As someone else who lives in Alabama, it is a third-world state, with metrics like education, infant mortality, and poverty placing it squarely in the company of many third-world nations, and I’m not sure where you’re missing the burnt necks and Confederate flags because I see them every single day, and I live in the…

The GOP actually did that in 2012 - the “autopsy” of Romney’s failure basically said they had to play to women and minorities, among other groups to survive long term. I mean look at this TPM article on the findings - do immigration reform, listen to minorities, reach out to gay people, open the party to other…

*White Alabama did not even almost do the right thing!

It is right to suggest that these election results represent (and further embolden) not only a repudiation of the Republican party in general, but also of the President in particular

Once again Roy Moore puts a D where it has no rightful place being.
