The consulting firm of Pence, Huckabee, and DeVos wrote the policy. LOL

In modern schools and public buildings when they build them they are fortifying bathrooms to double as storm shelters and bunkers for shooters. In the newest building at my uni the bathrooms are stacked and supposed to survive even if wind collapses the rest of the building and have latching reinforced doors to…

This part of the state is in a sort of flux. Its liberalizing fast but is still very rural minded. Policies like this shift depending on school board elections and whose parents are yelling the loudest I’m sure this kid has dealt with several bathroom policies since she came out. I have no idea what’s official right…

Yeah a few years ago we were reviewing our official policies on trans and lesbian and gay issues at the college I work for and a couple people, people who work in departments that should know better about in and out group dynamics, really slipped up and showed their colors as the night went on. There was a lot of well…

I live in the area. Spotsy, Stafford, the counties around them are becoming part of the DC sprawl and the local Virginians from here are not very happy about it. Everything is one step forward and two steps back towards the 50s. Policies on LGBT issues and similar kinds of issues in schools change from year to year…

Faarooq/Ron Simmons was one of his tagteam partners. He just went by Rocky Maivia and later the Rock in the Nation of Domination. He did wear a dashiki and Nation of Islam style taqiyah often and they were a black power faction in the Attitude Era tho. I liked watching them mix it up with DX. Made for good TV. Ah when…

I always imagined him looking like a young Sam L Jackson. 

I mean when me and my sisters were teens we were allowed a glass of wine with Sunday dinner or a few beers spaced out over the course of a BBQ. We weren’t allowed to get shitfaced but alcohol with a meal on a weekend was pretty normal. Holidays in our later teens we were given a little slack as long we stayed in the…

She called the cheese because he was black with white kids. She’s also probably the type that questions white dads sitting on benches while their kids play in the park but probably doesn’t call the police on them or act nearly as aggressive. The tipping point that takes this from an annoying interaction with an…

My wife and I sometimes discus the unintended negative fallout for black people with regard to how desegregation was handled and whether it was actually intended fallout. For everything good thing it seems there was something bad that happened as a result.

Thats like asking if peanut butter or jelly makes a PB&J sandwich good.

Eh, she definitely isn’t responsible for all of it or even most of it or even a lot of it but some of it, a noticeable portion, is because she told Swifties to vote. You’re misunderestimating how loyal and how many Swifties there are. Those chicks are like a cult. There are probably some Swifties crying themselves to…

Ground breaking summit. With their combined IQs working together it might give them enough intelligence to finally tie their own shoes if they don’t get distracted by a mirror that is.

Republicans always turn out in midterms. Especially the gray wave. Regardless of whether or not they were making noise Republicans were going to vote. They always do. This is just media hype and Dems scaring easy when they get push back. Dem politicians and pundits frighten easily and always have. They are like an…

Knowing the tone deafness of the DNC I would not be surprised if it is the latter. I too would not vote for such a candidate. A blue dog is bad enough but an actual Republican? They’d lose my vote and I’ve held my nose and voted for them in every election I’ve ever been eligible to vote in no matter how horrible the…

Okay but you can’t tell people to vote even if its lesser of two evils in their opinion or hearts then get mad when people complain about how evil the evil people they voted for are. I’m sure most natives and people who support them will vote for her but they don’t have to be happy about it and they don’t have to like…

But if the Democrats shored up native voting rights they wouldn't be able to dangle it over native heads like a carrot to get them to vote for them without doing anything on their behalf.

But she has a D by her name! If she only votes Democrat 1% of the time its better than a Republican. You progressives and your idiotic puritanical beliefs that politicians should have principles. /s

Anybody saying WV Democrats need to stand by Manchin and take one for the team needs to shut their carpetbagger mouths. We’ve taken a lot for the team of America and have gotten nothing but ridicule and scorn in return. We toiled for near slave wages (sometimes not even earning real money) and near slave conditions in…

I love that The Root and a couple other outlets follow up on these officers because I remember Tamir Rice, Mike Brown etc but over time I forget the individual cops who killed them and other people probably do too and it allows them to slide into other communities undetected. One of these animal cops could end up being…
