Wanna hear the best part? I got let in on the details of what happened.

Sometimes, you have no choice; you’re simply deciding between potentially getting beaten if you lose the fight, or definitely getting beaten if you don’t fight back.

Simple: Stop making it a big deal. If you treat it as absolutely normal, you’ll find you fit in and people have no problem with you.

That’s the only thing that makes cops publicly turn on other cops.

The cynical part of me actually wouldn’t be surprised if he’s telling the truth... and if he was convicted because he did something worse and this is what they came up with to get rid of him without throwing an entire police department behind bars. And, yes, this does happen.

That’s the exact opposite experience of every woman I’ve ever had as a friend that has talked about an all-girls school.

This isn’t luxury. $38,000 is two or three digits short of luxury when it comes to airplanes.

Most cable is pay TV.

I find the analogue works perfectly because, prior to the current education system, what education you got was determined by wealth and location... much like how current healthcare is determined.

Unless you watch Game of Thrones. Then you can turn “spot the nipple” into a drinking game.

Wasn’t this story covered by every major tabloid in 1997 to 1998?

Sometimes, it’s necessary to fight harder.

Okay, when your anti-abortion law is vetoed by an anti-abortion governor because even they find it too vague... that’s when you know you’ve crossed over into batshit crazy.

People already have thrown their lots together. It resulted in them finding ways to weasel their lots apart. See: The American education system. What makes you think this would be any different?

Democracy can only correct the problems of the damaged system if the people are willing to have it correct the problems they created in the first place.

I doubt it. A lot of activism these days is social media activism. Which is to say, activism that doesn’t involve any actual effort. And that’s even for cases where people do care and can see how they’re directly affected.

Yes. Become emperor.

We need to fix things. They can’t stay broken like this.

Speaking up for just myself? I don’t think the country is fine and dandy. I just think that, with our politics, universal healthcare would be worse than what we have now. After all, the same Republicans currently trying to do away with abortion might be in charge of your medical care. Do you want that?

So... Any bets on them blaming “those n-words” for this?
