What happened to the Van Jones who called out Kayleigh Mcenany and Jeffrey Lord for being total shits to a Latina lady when she said that Trump’s “bad hombres” statement was offensive and they tried to tell her that she was not allowed to define that as offensive TO HERSELF?

I don’t think it’s loving to allow people to be hateful in front of you. I don’t think it’s loving to look the other way in the face of injustice. I don’t think it’s loving to allow people to be dehumanized. I don’t think it’s loving to be nice when what’s called for is being honest and courageous and making people…

“Jones’s vision of love suggests blindness, endless patience and a great deal of emotional labor on the part of people who are already exhausted. It puts the onus on us to prove we are worthy of compassion and justice.”

I have zero desire to love those who hate me. Zero reason to do so. Zero to gain from doing it.

As a black man living in Indiana I’ve been trying to figure out how to strike the balance between loving and active. How do I call out people for their racist/sexist/homophobic/anti-semetic beliefs without shutting down any and all conversation? Because if you’re too aggressive people just get upset and ignore you,…

It also demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of King’s actions. Saying you love a cop while he’s putting you in jail for a desegregating a lunch counter is still desegregating a lunch counter (motherfucker). It’s not a hashtag, it’s action.

We’re so fucking bad at this.

Trump voters may not be racist themselves but they decided it wasn’t a deal breaker for them. May we all survive the upcoming decades of fallout this man’s action will bring.

YES. This is one of my biggest problems with democrats—they don’t fight back. They don’t want to play dirty. And so they get ran over time and again. This is not the time to “give Trump a chance” this is a time to listen to what Trump told us he believes and believe him.

I believe that love IS the answer ... but not the kind of passive, feel-good, saccharine platitudes and symbolic kind deeds that Van Jones seems to be talking about. The kind of love that we need is challenging and revolutionary and ACTIVE, and it isn’t the same thing as simple niceness.

Love has been getting its ass kicked for decades. What we need are lawyers and protesters to fight these fuckers every step of the way as they try to goose-step the country back to pre-Civil Rights era.

Fuck a love army. This isn’t a game. This isn’t just about words. This is about our lives, our rights, our safety.

Just like Dolores, this is the only picture of Trump I recognize.

You do know that everyone who is in prison didn’t commit a crime, right?

That’s because so many bloodthirsty people disagree with that part of the Constitution that any amount of prison reform is vastly unpopular. Look at some of the comments on this article, for example.

This always dogged me as a glaring contradiction. They know prisoners are being sexually assaulted, to such a degree that it is well known throughout our culture, and yet so little is done about it.

We’re a society that throws people away. Rob a store when you’re 19? Spend years in prison being raped, mentally, and physically beaten, and told you are human garbage. Then when they’ve served their debt to society, slap them with a permanent “felon” label, strip their voting rights away, and then have the audacity…

America as a country has a very fucked-up attitude regarding sex and sexuality

So you mean The Cosby Show?

I would also suggest banning having characters come out of retirement for one last job.
