Black kid gets hung from a tree as kids make racist taunts, not a hate crime

If you don’t want to get mistaken for a Republican, don’t repeat their talking points.

You don’t understand what civil disobedience is, just say that and go. It’s not about your convenience, it’s about taking a stand against police brutality being committed against black and brown people. That you would falsely equivocate a civil rights group with a racist group that has literally lynched people says…

Be strong and give good stink eye, friend!

Speaking of ventriloquists, this little girl just blew me away! To sing like that with her mouth closed? Unbelievable.

As someone who is living in a super pro-Trump Texas town: I definitely recognize that look, lmao. :)

She... was clearly very passionate? Like my god she had a spark in her eye and was instantly hopped up! It was nice to see although I long for the day “lady says nazis are bad” isn’t newsworthy.

Why wouldn’t these questions be fair? Folks forever are complaining about the dumbass questions they get asked. I’d much rather they get asked about that then like, whether or not they want world peace.

When I was growing up it was flaming baton twirling. Which is yet one more reason why I love Miss Congeniality.

It was also a bad imitation of Miss Arkansas’s Alyse Eady’s ventriloquist act that was awesome and got her on the late night circuit even though she was robbed as first runner up.

To add to the list of better leaders this is fantastic.

I actually watched part of this, due to caring for my elderly mother who likes that sort of thing. Frankly, I was surprised it was still airing? But I can remember the Miss America Pageant being a huge deal when it was on TV in the 70's, right behind the occasional airing of The Wizard of Oz, in those pre-VCR/…

She looks like she is mentally giving the finger to a slew of people who have been telling her that her opinion is wrong, and I am HERE FOR IT.

The winner gave a good response too to a question about the Paris Climate Agreement, saying it was wrong for the US to have pulled out given the evidence we have about climate change.

People with disabilities, the elderly, people in labor, people who have pets, people who are first responders or in the medical profession, people who couldn’t get gas in time or whose car broke down, people whose jobs wouldn’t wait for them to come back, there’s a lot of reasons and ways you could end up staying when…

Until evacuation orders actually include physically moving people, saying “if you stay, you’re on your own” is not fair. Gas stations had no gas, flights out were canceled. This isn’t Harry Potter—people need to be able to leave to get out.

“BATON ROUGE, LA—As punishing wind and rain from the former Hurricane Harvey made landfall, government officials urged Louisiana residents Wednesday to evacuate dangerous lower income brackets. “Given the extent of the potential destruction, we urge anyone in the path of the storm to make their way to higher median…

A lot of poor people (who are usually black or brown) live in areas called food deserts, where most stores are convenience stores or little markets with few healthy options. When you can get a burger and fries for $3 but a salad is $7, it’s obvious they’ll go for the burger meal. Crap is cheap and healthy food not so…

I am always pissed off when people are all “Why didn’t they just leave?” Well, let me tell you as someone who could have been in that position. Where are you going to go? You don’t have a car...you rely on public transportation...whoops..that’s stopped running. Maybe you have relatives that can come get you, but…

Now, the Cylops are potential beauty icons because they have an additional third eye to apply a great eyeshadow look
