Michael I love how you end your articles. Always a little something at the end that makes me laugh or think or feel something.

Yeah but George Zimmerman was harassing a kid in the kid’s own neighborhood and somehow managed to fear for his life. Some other guy in Florida shot a black kid after he started yelling at the kid over the volume of his music then managed to be afraid for his life.

Personally I find mayo too spicy.

Oops didn’t see your down post. Sorry.

Nah, my money is on him using the “I was afraid for my life” defense.

Progress isn’t easy and it ain’t always fair nor is it always convenient. I’ve been shouted at by black protesters, not threats of violence of course, just regular ole protest type stuff. I try to be aware of my privilege and I’m not actively racist. I’m not the enemy. I didn’t get mad. I took one for the team. Sorry…

Oh gotcha.

That’s where we need to build a wall. Aside from dicking over black people the biggest mistake of reconstruction was letting Florida back in the union.

Hey I’m sure they’ll say a prayer for them. Won’t leave a tip though. Need as much cash on hand as possible during a disaster. I’m sure the pizza folks understand. They’ll be going down with the ship so they won’t need it anyway. *insert snarky bourgeois laugh*

^ this. As someone who advises a campus club (feminist/womanist club) I can tell you it’s not hard to draft a charter that appears inclusive and on the level that will sail through the student government and student activities hierarchy. And once they have their charter approved there is a whole mess of bureaucratic…

Me too. They went from super promising on race stuff to what the fuck pretty fast. They, not all, are still pretty LGBT friendly but they backslid some on feminist issues and have done a huge right turn on race. It’s like my partner says when we lament on how far we have came as gay women. “Whites got skin in the LGBT…

A bunch of ways you can play it. Listen and learn and report their tactics to others. Punch them. Do what I do with homophobes. Low-key nitpick them til they lose their cool and expose themselves as the hatemongers they are for everyone to see. Draw unwanted attention to them and their group. I wouldn’t advise full…

I used to doodle a very similar shape. It’s a very plain symbol to use as a logo. I saw an article a few weeks ago detailing all alt right/neo-nazi symbols and have since stopped. But yeah I was just randomly drawing it for the longest time. I wonder if it’s simplicity is why they picked it? It has a little bit of…

Excellent point and if all else fails alert student clubs and orgs that are social justice oriented. Any black or Jewish frats or sororities or orgs, LGBT clubs, feminists or womanist clubs. They can run it up the flag pole to sympathetic faculty. They all have Facebook and twitter accounts these days.

It’s evil smart that they are going to community colleges too. The college I work in the nursing department for partners with the local community college’s nursing program so I spend time on both campuses and a lot of the white guys at the community college have huge chips on their shoulders simply for being …

Ingenious crime! After you eat the bacon wrapped hot dog the evidence of any wrongdoing is gone! This begs the question: just what the hell are they teaching at the police academy these days?

Thank you I left out the part you mentioned. Yeah and doctors more or less have to respond to that demand from patients with zero expectation of pain because they are for intents and purposes running a business. Those patients/customers will go to another doctor next time. Plus they want their pharma checks too. And…

Also they kinda do collect data. The troll is half right. It’s just that it is not mandated that police departments report their shootings to the FBI. They don’t have to report anything if they don’t want to and they can just report some shootings if they want. I think we can all agree that sometimes a cop does need…

You’re absolutely right but it’s not just the police unions. It’s the gun lobby too. They also get involved in police reform debates and legislation. They also block and try to block studies on gun crime. If you look at most studies on homicide that break down stats by weapon or means used they are often privately…

Frankly I don’t want Trump touching this because he and Sessions will not get to the root of the problem which is the over-prescribing of pain medication. No way will they fight big pharma and the other medical lobbies. Other industrialized nations do not dole out pain meds like we do. Of course most other…
