This is a good example to hold up to anyone who says that this somehow “isn’t the GOP they grew up with, or how the Republican brand has been tarnished by Trump”, because then you can make them uncomfortable by bringing up the fact that Ronald Reagan, the one some folks seem to hold up as some wholesome, folksy…

Even for many on the A-B end, the dresses are impractical because the neckline plunges below the bust. Or the leg slit makes it impossible to walk without VPL flashing. It’s really only suitable for the ‘gram, not wearing and moving.

We don’t want to be “included” in racist power structures, we want to abolish them!

They’re looking for a lot of people with [an] Ivy League education and a lot of people of color and black people don’t have that because Ivy League educations are really just like an indication of class more than anything else...

This has been happening with a lot of local businesses where I live. They’ll release bland BLM support statements and the comment sections are filled with employees blowing the whistle on their racist business practices. It’s fun to watch. Everyone is done with meaningless lip service lately. And speaking of which, is…

This is way more powerful of a message than the standard corporate messaging that’s been filling my inbox. 

Often it makes them worse. The more inherently morally superior a person or group thinks they are, the more they tend to be oblivious and complacent. There’s a lot of petty, selfish arseholes out there running reasonably decent companies, because they’ve learnt to hide their flaws from the public; but when someone…

Frivolous lawsuit is frivolous. Teachers should have read the fine print. But even in the absence of fine print, if there’s a giveaway, it’s obvious that not everyone who signs up will get a dress. 

I think “purport to support” is my new favorite phrase, it has a lovely cadence.

1. “We’re not ready for that yet.”....Shake my damn head. What a bigoted P.O.S. Her company is worth $25+million. I would love to see her step down and donate millions towards racial justice, the environment, and education.

I talked to a therapist once who told me that the problem is that there isn’t any real psychiatric support for officers to help keep their moral compass aligned. Basically, they see so many bad things, day after day, they start thinking that nothing they do can POSSIBLY compare. So little by little, one entitlement…

Can and can’t believe that “but who will protect women from sexual assault” has become the go-to deflection from the pro-cop lobby. Never mind how the people who actually work with victims feel about police (to say nothing of the victims themselves!)

White Americans can’t imagine not having the police force as it is, because they are the Amy Coopers who don’t think of themselves as racist but are also terrified of PoC and poor people and will weaponize the police against anyone they fear even in moments where they don’t feel truly threatened. Going from that…

I’m frankly at a loss at how to think about police as individuals. I know a few cops, and the ones I know best I’d like to think are good people. But clearly the system is broken. I’ve heard arguments, from cops (including the ones I know and respect) that it’s “a few bad apples”, but I also know in order for every…

Weird...not a lot of diversity in this — brood? flock? litter? Murder? — murder of cops.

Pilots have a union, but I am pretty sure that their union doesn’t defend them when they endanger lives.

Can I say I am LOVING that everyone has been keeping receipts on the racist shit companies have done over the past few years, and now they’re coming receipt in hand to talk to the manager. 

It said, very loud and clear, fuck y’all we are cops.

I still can’t get over those officers resigning. What do they think it shows besides them standing up for the right of the police to assault anyone at any time? 

If he really cared, he'd ban the ugly bigotry that site is known for. Now that's making a difference.
