That was the real reason it was so legendary. No one ever wanted to actually play on Rainbow Road unless they knew the short cut, and then would just spend the whole time trying to make it.

How did our police become autonomous little armies?

The Orthodox Jews are pretty much electing fascist religious parties

now hold on, Dicey - there are clear moral differences from killing a portion of a population again and again from time to time, and killing / expelling all of them. What Israel is aiming at is what it's always aimed at - instilling a psychology of defeat.

Solidarity! I also have long-wear contacts that I'm not always the most diligent about...like you, not awful or anything, but easy to be absent-minded about occasionally. My fiance now thinks I'm even more of a crazy person than originally suspected because I started running around screaming about amoebas and threw my…

The Occupy Movement didnt die. It was reborn. My life as an activist was birthed from the Occupy Movement. I have moved onto other things...more local activism, but I will always remember those times. It was a very exciting and revealing time for me. =)

#Occupy may have been crushed, but it was/is the seed for what will only become a stronger worldwide protest movement and organized resistance to political and financial coordination of multinational corps with nation states. That may sound lavish, but our system is currently so terribly unbalanced that it will be…

You haven't woken up at 3 am to a swat team pointing guns at your toddler - only to be resolved when the police realize they have the wrong address.

"that the power dynamics between police and people are similar to those between prison guards and prisoners."

Any resistance to the police is a crime - regardless of context. It's why the police are such a problem.

ICYMI: Cecily McMillan, the Occupy protestor who was convicted of assaulting a police officer after he sexually assaulted her, served two-thirds of her three-month prison sentence before being released on Wednesday. You can read her Rikers interview here.

I liked it. Life is silly and complicated and messy, and I thought they made it very clear that Ted truly loved The Mother, but now that she had passed and his kids were mostly grown, it was time to move on. This shit happens ALL THE TIME. Of course the internet is pissed, because if the internet isn't pissed…

One man? So there's no other living person who thinks borders are unnecessary?

This game really claws at your guts. It also emphasizes my belief that borders are arbitrary lines created by xenophobes and nationalists. Borders are just cruel and imply that if you're on the wrong side you're somehow less of a human being.

This is not at all surprising. What is surprising is the fact that people are so shocked by this. As a person of color, I observe ridiculous things of this nature far too often. White privilege is such a blinding condition.

Not listening to white people is basically the most racist thing in the world, if you really think about it. People unite! and you can also shut the fuck up, racist people of color!

It's not a few people. The silencing and discrimination of women of color is holistically imbedded in the structure of mainstream feminism/the feminist movement. These are not isolated incidents. These points of prejudice and discrimination have been consciously and subconsciously happening within feminism.
