Can you really hit a new low when you’ve spent your whole life at rock bottom?

When you or your family call 911

Yeah, you can just stop right there.
A huge chunk of the american people have simply stopped doing that.
I don’t have the time to go find out the dozens upon dozens of articles explaining why, but you should have no issue finding them.

Unless I’m required by the law to call the police,…

Okay, sure.

exactly - for decades i have wanted democrats will fight and not cower. We need to get these ladies into positions of leadership.

Above all else, let's talk about civility while Republicans are putting children in cages. 

The republicans throw refugee children in cages. They deserve no respect, no civility and until they are soundly defeated, no mercy.

But I do wonder, why it is Davis’ tears are considered so remarkable? And I do find it impossible to listen to stories like hers without thinking of the generations upon generations of people of color—black and Native people in particular—who have said the very same things and begged this country, just once, to…

Remind me, how big a problem does our nation have with construction workers harassinging, beating, imprisoning, and murdering people of color, then hiding it behind the Thin Bright Yellow Line of silence?

I don’t think you’re paying attention to the point, instead choosing to pick a nit over a phrase I used.

I get it. The officers had just as much of a right to be there as the complainer. The response is typical privileged bullshit though. Instead of gleaning the lesson that the populace they’re trying to protect hates them, and maybe they should work on that, they view the individual who made the complaint as their enemy,…

Yes substitute in any other occupation and it will have a completely different meaning.

I think asking someone to leave because their job is wrong,however although I’m no criminal if I went into my local Starbucks here in Tempe and saw 6 cops I would leave and get my coffee elsewhere. Don’t need the underlying tension of being near assholes. 

None of those other jobs are government workers that enable the person to carry a gun and has a clear history of those workers killing innocent people as part of their work. Arizona law enforcement has been making headlines in being very murdery against the people. That customer had very good reasons to be afraid of…

These people are working so hard at trying to make law enforcement a protected race.

The Q-Anon crowd. Conveniently ignoring Trump’s own statements about Epstein, his penchant for walking into the changing rooms of teen beauty pageants, his comment about a 12 year old Paris Hilton, his comment about a 10 year old girl at Trump Tower etc etc

I imagine they will both be implicated.

I’ve seen so much worse on white people (men and women) down here in the 9th level of hell. No one would flick an eye at her if she was white woman wearing that. Policing of black bodies with the sole goal of humiliating and demeaning us for taking up space is something that white people love to do.

I’m highlighting this post so everybody can see the line of attack the redhats will take in the coming weeks.

TFW you use an individual’s poorly-informed (in terms of viable sources) understanding of their family history as delivered -by members of their family- as means to dismiss them.

I could, pretty readily, get into Bernie’s litany of “and then the GOP found this bit of kindling,” but I’d rather leave it at: the dude’s an…

Yes, Bernie is genuine.

Feelings, however, are not policy. A feeling might spark a revolution, but if that revolution has no track, then it matters not how fast and passionately the wheels spin—it’s going fucking nowhere.

Bernie whips up souls.

Warren has the ideas and the backing for those ideas to make them work.
