You don’t speak for the black community, you’re only speaking for yourself. Many of us are looking for forward getting out of this nightmare that we’ve been in for the last 4 years and tantrums that your preferred candidate isn’t going to be VP is going to keep us here. We’ve never had a perfect choice for president…

“The idea is to form a coalition of people with shared values that gain power through unity and holding candidates accountable.”

This election is unlike any before. We are 100 days away from a banana republic and 99 days away from an autocracy. News Flash: Biden does not have to earn any votes. He could sit in his basement and watch Blacks tell him that they will hold their vote, listen to Progressives saying that he has to earn their vote or…

Black people are 13% of the population and cannot elect officials in non-black-majority areas without allies. Officials elected from such areas would be unable to leverage political capital beyond Black voting power in at most regional elections. All of this is assuming 100% Black alignment with this third party and…

The appropriating of Norse [and to a lesser extent, Celtic] imagery by these assholes is a mark of great frustration to a lot of people, since Norse is still an active [albeit small] religion in parts of Europe. Celtic imagery appropriation is a related issue because Irish, and some Scots, groups have relied on that…

Yeah, I mean, you can ask “why,” but you can also ask “why not?” Showing up naked to a protest when the cops are kitted out in riot gear is a great power move. Confuses the shit outta the cops, which is always fun.

This is actually a smart move on her part. The cops can’t grab her because she can file sexual assault. Never a good look to see a cop wrestling with a woman but this ups it considerably by her being naked.

“And thirdly...why?

Say what you want about her choice, but damn....... it worked. The cops were so confused they left.

The Southern Poverty Law Center and FBI disagree with your statement. Hate crimes against American Jews has shot up in recent years, while thankfully anti-Muslim hate crimes have gone down.

I like Nick and I wish him well in reacquiring his intellectual property— also big ups for earning the degree at Howard— but he was better off talking about sports or sharing vegetarian recipes. As far as what was “discussed”: (sigh). There are plenty of books whose contents are wholly ruinous in their content. “The…

Allow me to introduce you to one of many brilliantly useful yiddish words. Today, our word is ‘shonda’, which, literally, means ‘disgrace’ or ‘shame’. And you can certainly use it just as that, but more exactly, it’s usually used in the phrase ‘shonda far di goyim’, “A disgrace in front of the gentiles.” And THAT is…

I’ve been a little active, attending a couple of events with my friend’s progressive party, and I went to a Juneteenth celebration last Friday to support my relative who organized it in a pretty white town. (Had a couple of sad racists in pickups drive by honking and flying blue lives flags of course.)

As a card carry white guy, let me offer a slightly different spin on your unassailable conclusions. I too have seen the newly found shock and horror on my friends faces, as they have come to grips with the obvious. What is hard to appreciate, I suspect, for any POC is the amount of energy that it has taken to pierce…

Congress can’t fix all the issues; but they can do some things. First, add funds to the DoJ, and insist they resume pursuit of civil rights violations by police. A practice Trump has effectively ended. And also have them enforce the following:

You nailed it.

The saddest part is how many murdered Black people and uprisings didn’t even make this list.

Yup, that’s all true. Accountability and oversight can work wonders to expose and isolate bad actors in the police departments rather than shielding and enabling them. I’d also abolish police unions (and more generally, all public employee unions) because they do nothing but empower the police to feel above the law.

The legal system grants near full immunity on cops no-knocks, no-video recorded raids, and racist DA and prosecutors deliberately mishandle the prosecution.

I like that President Obama’s mere presence and commentary makes the orange dump rage...I imagine what itd be like if suddenly people started sending him a barrage of 24/7 tweets about how much they love and miss President Obama just to raise his BP to stroke and heart attack levels...hehehe
