It’s not memorializing the attackers. It’s memorializing the Freedom Riders and the churchgoers and the freed slaves who struggled and died so that their people might one day live free.

The Washington Post reports that out of the five sites declared national monuments, three of them are in the South and represent Obama’s desire to “expand America’s shared national identity through the narrative it tells with its public lands.”

You have a powerful way with words. Very much embracing the idea of those dark times to get to the light. Beautiful.

Excellent. Now let’s start tearing down monuments to Confederate traitors (but I repeat myself), and renaming roads and bridges and such named for them.

“Thank you for everything,”

Perhaps it is important not to sanitize the struggle? It may also give us notice that we may have to endure our own dark times in protecting democracy.

This may be the last time I ever say this, so here it goes. Please be quiet everyone, I get stage fright:

I put oats in mine but I also put it in the blender. I put it in the shaker bottle because it was a better way to carry it then empty peanut butter jars. My coworkers thought it was weird.

“He is the embodiment of the machine we are raging against.” Tom Morello with the monumental clap-back.

Caitlyn can fuck off. Way to completely turn your back on trans issues, honey, when it suits you and your tax cut.

I remember when Rep. Paul Ryan mentioned that Rage Against the Machine is what he listens to when he’s getting pumped up before a big debate or speech.

Yeah, that’s a huge red flag. He’s smart to have seen the signs.

Agreed. There are red flags and then there are dealbreakers. For me, the dealbreakers are things like out the gate saying something racist, misogynistic, or homophobic. Saying all the dudes on the app “look gay” would seal the deal for me. He at least was nice enough to not ghost her, but it was pretty obvious he…

Yes! I came here to write the same thing! I’m pretty sure he was over it as soon as she said “The dudes all look gay to me”. I mean that’s when I would have been like, “Cool. I don’t want to ever meet this person.”
