That’s one of the many reasons why this “legitimate” or “acceptable” protest BS gets my goat. I’m a Bostonian. One time people in my city got right pissed about taxes and threw a bunch of expensive leaves in a harbor. Let’s not forget all the tarring-and-feathering that was going on! Ever had boiling tar poured on…

“NSBA believes immediate assistance is required to protect our students, school board members, and educators who are susceptible to acts of violence affecting interstate commerce...”

One thing I wish this article mentioned is WHY Elijah said “I’m just different”. He was an autistic boy. Also not a crime. Neurodivergent Black people are at even higher risk of being murdered by cops, ‘cause cops don’t understand why they may be behaving differently and just see it as threatening.

Here is one thing I just can’t wrap my head around, WHY are these people so vehement about not wearing masks? They are nice when it is cold out, and it’s such a tiny inconvenience (except for maskne, but I’ll take a thousand blackheads over death or lifelong damage to my organs). Is it just that people in the US hate…

How come people like this fool can comment, yet somehow after years I am still in the grays?

I just watched Lana’s video linked above to the end.  It’s gets really heartbreaking when she talks about her her father who gave her the charger and is no longer with us.

“These are the people you trust to tell you if you smell like a thousand earring backs?”
This is one of the weirdest (and greatest because it works - I can smell it) sentences of all time.

I *think* he is trying to insinuate something vile about her sucking ability here with the straw comment. Gross.

Thanks for illuminating yet another area where I’ve benefited from white privilege - we ran from the cops as teenagers all the time, it was almost a sport. None of us were ever beaten or shot at.

None of the white supremacists here are going to recognize him as one of their own. He’s condemned as a middle eastern terrorist as soon as they read his name begins with “Ahmad”, no matter his history here in the US or reports of him being “not interested in religion”.

you can do that in oregon because it was a whites-only state upon inception, and has been so WAF ever since, they haven’t thought about constricting voting rights....yet.

#17, all day erry day.

i really want someone to go interview all these idiots again now.

this also middle-aged presenting white lady says sign me up. i’ve been irritated none of these events seem to happen in my presence so i can tear some becky a new one.

proof of the beginnings of incarceration-as-slave-trade.  sobering, then angering.
