Ha! I didn't even think of that...I freakin LOVE it!!

The problem is that the Fox News Crew and others are giving white holdouts excuses to pretend these killings aren't racially motivated. BUT if they could see how the police 'respond' to protesters (including white ones) ... the level of menace and even violence heaped on peaceful protesters...they might change their…

No white person wants to admit racism is a problem because then they have to give up their privilege (many of us do anyway, but not enough)...but at the same time, we are social beings who want to be accepted...and we are more likely to be swayed by someone we admire and/or love...so the longer the protests last...the…

Good point.

That is usually true...

(bangs head against wall)

I'm glad for the citizen journalists. In NYC, we have James from the Internet, stopmotionsolo, unedited camera, and glassbeadian. Here's the video from the Barclay Center protest I was at up until twenty minutes ago.

I would really like to see the Berkeley protests covered.

The one thing I liked about this was her getting Don to admit that men's reaction (doubting/blaming/shaming) has to do with fear that they will be called out for at one time or another wanting to touch women without their consent (and possibly even doing so). Not that I am claiming this is true for all men...but we…

What bothers me is that whether or not this story is true, many will believe it isn't and use this as proof that women often lie about being raped. I wish RS had been more careful because discrepancies (which may mean nothing overall in terms of whether the rape happened) are giving victim doubters/shamers/blamers all…

here's another video of last night's protest (the one in Manhattan anyway)

I don't know if anyone here's seen this yet...Eric Garner's kids are raising money

I don't get this at all...suicide is a sin (in Christianity). So instead of his praying for Marjoram to 'repent,' he's asking God to encourage Marjoram to 'sin more.' That doesn't simply demonstrate a lack of empathy and even humanity...that demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of his own religion. How can…

I attended a protest tonight in NYC. We marched from Union Square to Grand Central and occupied it for a while...There were so many people. And we grew as we went. I think we doubled in size along the way. People of all colors. Grandmothers and grandfathers. Parents with children. Young people. And passersby chanted…

I was kind of hoping someone at Jezebel would post another protest thread...no one may see this...but just in case.

here's another...I guess part of the protest is on the Brooklyn Bridge now

My pleasure :-)

Someone's livestreaming part of the NYC protests

This is beyond ridiculous. So protesters are terrorists and POC are target practice...but you want the public to trust you....yeah wtfe.

We need *real* neighborhood watch groups. During a couple of the marches for OWS, there were union groups who marched, too...and one...it's been so long can't remember...maybe the nurses union...they were specifically trying to keep an eye on the NYPD, protect protesters. They had more social and political capital…
