“All police are not murderers. All cops are not brutalizers. But all cops ignore the bad apple. All cops allow a single piece of spoiled fruit to infect the entire bunch with his rotten core.”

In the minds of many, even the most classic forms of peaceful civil disobedience are somehow violent. There are pictures on twitter of a protest in Seattle taking over the main freeway that runs near downtown. What looks like thousands of people marched peacefully, filling up the streets in a progression beginning…
There was also an entire NYC artistic and intellectual community that disappeared in the AIDS years, either because people died, or just left a city they loved because the community was gone and it was a sad place to be.
One of the thing I wish people would think about at his passing is the genius of ACT UP, and the creativity used in protesting. They started as small group of people who blew out all the stops by using a community that including every kind of artist, people from theatre, performance art, visual art, they used people…
When is the audio for this out?
If the governor herself apologizing for what he did is confirmation, yes, she did. She characterized it as a “joke that didn’t fly.” That woman has earned herself a few thousand “get out of petty scandals free” cards, imho.
And the basis of patriotism, (largely a worship of the symbols of law enforcement and military might) is bs too. We’re a people who don’t give enough of a shit to wear a mask to protect a cashier who faces 500 customers in a 9 hour shift for which the take home pay is $65, and the effing Blue Angels mean something…
These gun laws are just out of their mind bat shit crazy.
Yes, you’re right. I read that the video was taken by a third member or associate of the vigilante killers. I have the same sense. With the video being taken by someone driving on the wrong side of the road as they approach, it looks like they were in on the chase and intentionally blocking the way behind him to…
Has there ever been a more perfect moment to find out what you look like with a shaved head?
These people are getting it out there this week that the more people die, the bigger hero the president is.
What does “being stressed pretty hard” look like?
No reason to be worried about armed vigilantes now, is there? Not like the streets are full of drooling racist idiots carrying assault weapons or anything.
Those selfish idiot “liberate” protests are being juiced by Trump, Devos, Kusher and the rest, to distract everyone from the carnage. Instead of clarity about people dying, going hungry, impending evictions and foreclosures in the works, nursing homes, meat packing plants, and every other real problem, which need to…
There’s an hour long interview of him on You tube and he’s so smart and charming, a very funny, sharp, low key, sense of humor. He really seems to love life and people. He has an anecdotal way of speaking, and its really noticeable how observant his mind is, collecting story after story.
Yep, I read that less than 25% of the protesters were directly impacted by lost wages or a shut business.
Texas has done its best to terrorize anyone who is remotely uncertain if they are eligible to vote.
When I read this my mind went to a jail I read about last year that was in the path of one of last year’s big hurricanes, and they refused to move imprisoned men from subterranean cells, and they went for days with water up to their necks terrified it would go to the ceiling. So, I just googled it, to use the example,…
A lot of things wrong, but what I don’t get in particular is in the first video. First, the driver is hollering at people far closer than the social distancing requirements, which is scary. Second, people had coverings. He was throwing people off who were using scarfs.
