The Anniston Star is the same publication that insulted and victim blamed my father in an article about his near-fatal farming accident in 2001, and ran a smear campaign against my maternal grandfather because of his work with unions before I was born. I can’t say I’m surprised to hear that one of the executives in…

Part of the reason why women are able to escape is because they often make goods that are sold in NKs “secret” black markets. This generates extra revenue that they are able to put towards escape efforts. NK women’s efforts towards creating and sustaining these secret markets is truly amazing. I believe around 70% of…

People need to stop getting salty when folks call out that it seems more people are pissed about a dead lion when there are Black folk dying at the hands of the Police State every day.

And to add this bullshit about “Don’t be rude” and similar comments are people just telling you to calm down. Because our anger about this BS is not justified, not like their anger about Cecil. Not like their anger about feeling like they’ve been called racist or that they don’t care about Black people. That anger is…

People are ridiculous. It’s not “Why are people outraged about this” and moreso “why are people MORE outraged about this than the Black death that is essentially the back-drop to American society”. We have unarmed Black folk dying in this Police State all the time and people are NOT as outraged. This is (my…

“Don’t be rude”

I knew someone would come in with that. Be less predictable.

I’ve seen more people pissed about a dead lion than i have about dead black teenagers. I’ve read articles from certain people comparing dead animals to slavery. Motherfucking Mufasa is really opening my eyes.

I am pretty uncomfortable calling what Black Americans go through and what livestock go through “like oppressions.” I struggle with the ethics of meat eating myself (I still do it). It’s possible to be unhappy with the current state of animal farming and ALSO be incredibly offended by the comparison of people with…

On one hand, it implies that the lives of livestock are worth the same as, or possibly more than, human beings held in slavery. On the other hand, it dehumanizes human beings held in slavery (both historically, i.e. Black people enslaved in the US, and those who are still in slavery today all over the world) by…

THERE it is. Stripped of the pseudo religious concern bullshit. If you really are a spiritual person, you should be ashamed.

I don’t give a fuck if she ate babies as a hobby, the police are not supposed to treat a citizen like that. You’re casting aspersions on a dead woman so that you don’t have to think of her as an innocent person, which she most definitely was, so that you don’t have to consider the fact that this can happen to anyone…

Exactly. They’re still culpable, especially if she told them she was suicidal as documentation suggests. She should have been under surveillance if that was the case, and failing to follow that policy was an instrumental part of her death if she did commit suicide. It’s enough for them to be considered criminally…

It has nothing to do with her arrest or death. It’s a smear campaign.

That’s a silly comparison.

Even if she really did commit suicide, there is still the utter bullshit of her arrest and incarceration. She should never have been in a position to kill herself in jail. So it’s unlikely any autopsy reports will bring “peace".

It’s not out of bounds for that this could be a suicide. Like I said on an earlier article, I could see how the despair of being in that situation could lead someone to suicide. Being treated like crap and isolated in a jail cell while being away from family and thinking that one might have lost their new job is…

I have never seen a group hustle so hard to cover their collective asses as this group in Texas. This stinks to high heaven, and the American “law enforcement is ALWAYS right” is going to go along with every bit of bullshit they are fed because of course a woman stopped for the thinnest of reasons, that ended up dead…

I saw her lawyer and sister on Democracy Now yesterday, and they were learning about everything through the media. They haven’t even got a full autopsy report, just bits and pieces. That alone is ridiculously suspect to me. Top that with police releasing the fact that marijuana was in her system and I smell all kinds…

Try to tap the number (or where the number should be) instead of the star. Higher percentage of working.
