“There’s paperwork for the Trail of Tears. We know what happened. That doesn’t make it okay, but at least we know. It’s history we can point at, as opposed to a black hole.”

“This nation has never codified violent suppression of its citizens and natives into an official directive that orders the disappearance, murder, and torture of thousands.

No, you wished for extra-judicial justice in hoping that a subpar prison system would damage this person physically. You’re the one saying that prisoners don’t deserve rights because of the crimes they have committed. This guy deserves to do time for his crime, but he also deserves the rights the constitution provides…

Agreed. I’ve lost track of how any times, I’ve told people (including so called progressives) that prison rape jokes aren’t funny, no matter what crime the person committed. It’s almost as if we as a society have given up on (or never really believed in) prison as a rehabilitation vehicle. Our prison system is gross,…

I always find it odd how housewives and grannies at the bakery casually wish horrible torture on even small time criminals during conversations when that would be a far worse violation of human rights than what the criminal in question ever did.

Stop listening to whoever told you that.

Passage of Nuremberg laws in 1935 stripping Jews (i.e., those deemed Jewish, incl. ‘mixed-race’/“mischling” Jews) of their citizenship paved the way for the deportation of Jews to concentration camps.

I’m so sorry.

That’s funny we managed to handle undocumented people decades without separating them from their kids. Wonder what has changed?

Heads up: Fuck off, I don’t care what you think. This will be my only response to you.

Now I know the term ‘softboi’. Thanks for that.

Not ungreying these guys, but check this shit out.

Gamergaters and other alt-right types, mostly.

Fully appreciate all the greys & trolls hopping on my dick.

Did you miss out on the camps on the border for undocumented toddlers that were separated deliberately from their parents?  They might not have killed them, but that’s pretty damn bad.

I assume the “they” in this sentence pertains solely to the performer, not Twitch, nor the “in-crowd” themselves. 

There is very much an in-depth discussion long overdue for Black America about understanding the lives of Caribbean, European, and African Americans. Too much is lost in translation of how Blackness is defined,and often Black America is very dismissive and blind to its own xenophobia.

OK here’s blasphemy:
I like this better.
I think the fights are clearer....I wrote a piece for my stage combat classes this afternoon about Luke and Vader...and look at how quick Luke is...how flashy, how that gets across that he’s cocky, while Vader hardly engages. But when he chooses to engage Vader is in control.…

I dig the Luke v. Vader one. It doesn't seem especially prequel-ish to me. I could see where they were riffing on the choreography of the original and Vader still moves at a much more measured and calculated pace than Luke. Good stuff!

If they still don’t manage to pass the Bechdel test all hope is lost!!!
