Broken people often make the best art.

Citations needed.  You have made a lot of empty suggestions that don’t have a lot of journalistic backing.  End of the day the US fabricated, yes FABRICATED, the evidence that was used to justify the war.  Powell was party to that fabrication.

The Bush administration pressured the intelligence service to create a justification for invasion, which resulted in knowingly false “evidence” of WMDs. Chasing after a conspiracy theory about mystery WMDs that got moved out of the country does not change the fact that they had no hard evidence that there were WMD…

Just stop. Alright? Just stop. 2.4 million dead since 2003, and this Syrian conspiracy theory spread by Georges Sada with no evidence - even in his book, he just says that it was something he heard - still lives.

A four year degree in criminal justice should be mandatory.

We have to be policed. We don’t have to be policed to death.

Rhetorical question, of course, but what do you call white reporters reporting on protests with racial inflections?  So “white” is the default, right, and everyone else is “biased,” right?

If at this point you aren’t biased in favor of BLM, you’re just wrong. 

Typical, when it comes to racism Black people have a bias but white people who keep their heads up their asses and refuse to acknowledge it are “objective.”

Because Booker is among the people who think that civility and decorum need to be maintained in the face of horrible disrespect for both the democratic institutions of the US and humanity in general. I get where he’s coming from though I definitely think it’s an idea that has allowed assholes like Rand Paul to push…

Sen. Corey Booker, WHY do you think Rand Paul is your friend?

My 11 year old said “Well not all cops are bad.”

I have to say, as a person whose parents are fresh off the boat and who is not part of one of the more popular Christian denominations, this piece is spot on. I have never heard the people of any other (largely) Christian country go on and on about Jesus the way Americans do. The irony being that the true god in this…

People mistake not-actively-bad cops as good. Because nuance is hard for simple minds.

I keep hearing about good cops existing, but they must be an awfully quiet bunch...

“A high school diploma or a GED is required. Prospective recruits must also be at least 21 years old, be a citizen of the United States, have a valid driver’s license, not have any felony convictions, and be willing to work varied shifts. Applicants with misdemeanor convictions will be evaluated on a case-by-case…

For those wondering Police Unions are not real popular around the country. Why you ask? Because for a collection of people that demand respect, unquestioned adulation and adoration they never have the backs of any other union in their city or state. In NYC when The MTA was looking for a new contract the PUBA was…

A hard lesson that I’m still learning is you don’t have to engage with the bullshit every minute. It’s ok to step back and take care of yourself. All the horror going on around us is exhausting, depressing, maddening. But we’re not all responsible all the time for fixing all the bad things. Take time to enjoy the good…

Nah, probably more for about escaping from police custody after you’ve been arrested for kneeling in-front a National Guardsman and asking them to please not murder the black person.

Is there any way we can organize to send this guy a few thousand dildos, like we did those whacks who took over the bird sanctuary?
