I guess protesters threatened on fb to take it down then waited and taped how fast police response was for a statue vs human beings. 6 min.

In a not-shocking-at-all development, lastnight Memphis decided to protect its Nathan Bedford Forrest statue with 22 police cars, 7 unmarked cars, 4 tactical unit black SUVs, 1 tactical truck and also sky cams.

Meanwhile, no arrests for the guys that beat up Deandre Harris with sticks and poles. And Harris’ name, and his assault are rarely mentioned in articles covering Charlottesville.

She does. I just ran to the Root before my head exploded. Thank Meghan.

OH. IN THE NEAR COMPLETELY WHITE CROWD, AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMAN WAS THE FIRST ARREST. HOW ASTONISHINGLY UNPREDICTABLE.

She is so adorable! Huskies definitely fall, though, into the category of dog for whom you need A Very Specific Set of Skills, along with greyhounds, dalmatians, pitta breeds, giant dogs, Australian Shepherds, and shelties. If you can’t give them very intense structure and lots of exercise, lots of exercise, go…

I happened upon a husky mix 5 years ago and after several weeks of searching for her home with no luck, decided to keep her. She is the sweetest dog but Jesus is she hard work. They’re escape artists and runners and will not stop. After an entire year of obedience school and a real-time GPS collar, we’re a lot…

Donny boy thought it would be a jolly jape to run for the highest office, lose, and get another book deal with the by line “Donald Trump Former Presidential Candidate) out of it. Then he won.

Now everything he touches turns to shit before his very eyes; almost like Midas, but you know with shit instead of gold...so…

What the actual fuck is going on with him? I grew up with him as background noise; an easily ignored buffoon. But he’s morphed into something monstrous in the last ten years or so.

It’s only been 7 months. This seriously needs to stop. And to all of the people claiming that Trump is the lesser of two evils or that he and Hillary were the same....

I read in the Facebook comments on an NPR article about Carhenge in Nebraska. Apparently the eclipse will pass over it and open a portal to the Transformers home world. Then the battle between Auto-bots and Decepticons will spill out into out world. Again, this was in the Facebook comments on an NPR article, so I…

So here’s a rule to follow everyone: If someone offends a group of which you are not a part of, it is not up to you to decide when people should get over it or accept the apology.

John Hammond’s amber cane from Jurassic Park.

I think you’re (intentionally) misunderstanding what this article is actually saying.

Can you only speak out in regards to how it effects your self image as a white woman tho? Literally can’t say anything else?

Keep going, and when she’s criticized, or white women are criticized, remember that POC are criticized all the time and still keep going. Meet criticism, hate with love and acceptance. Listen. Make sure to come out just as much for racial justice issues. But I’m a white woman too, this is just what I try to do. Other…

In the past 1.5 years, I’ve realized that a lot of white feminists believe being women is equivalent to being a POC, and so they believe they have an understanding of racism that allows them to make it about themselves. Pantsuit Nation is actually a really good place to find them. It’s incredibly frustrating because…

Put them in a clear glass jar (old candle jar is pretty good) and use it to store makeup brushes. If they need a bit more weight to them you can mix in gold fish gravel or the gold rocks for candle/flower arranging.

The same way that so many reasonable, empathetic liberals come from bigoted conservative families, probably. They found an ideological system that resonated with them and rejected their family’s input.

Wow, good for him and his family.
