I first heard of this truly good man’s death from other combat vets in a group we all attend, and I fucking cried. This man died as a result of doing something that was truly right. I cried for him because as far as I am concerned, we lost a soldier in combat when he left us. He was the BEST we can offer this…

I noticed that: the consistent hitting on the ‘they,’ ‘them,’ and ‘theirs.’ It’s not just enough to call us leftists or progressives: we are a faceless, nameless horde now. This sort of dehumanization of the opposition, especially in regards to groups that employ force, is a red flag. And it’s going to get worse: I…

“No one makes a list of the best 64 or 96 players at any position and just hands out jobs. It doesn’t work that way. Back-half-of-the-roster jobs usually come down to fit.”

Yeah anybody who deals with corporate hiring knows “just not a good fit for our culture here” is the default euphemism for someone you don’t want…

Oh sure, now they want Kaepernick to get down on his knees.

As a courtly observer and resident of so-called liberal Austin (which indicts only about 10% of its killer cops), I wonder if justice is ever going to be achieved, even partially, in criminal courts. Any of a about a dozen failures to indict or convict cops in the last few years certainly should evaporate anybody’s…

Ferguson is currently operating under a consent decree, agreements between the federal government and police forces that address systemic racism and other offenses through reform. These decrees are currently being reviewed by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who does not believe that the federal government should be…

Why aren’t the NRA folks rioting over this? A responsible gun owner did everything you’re supposed to do but was killed.

I just saw the footage a little while ago, and I just feel sick. How terrifying are black men in the average persons mind? Just how pathologized is blackness that this very calm and polite man could be murdered after just a few brief seconds? It’s horrifying. I honestly don’t know what I can do that won’t make it even…

You explained this well; Gal Gadot was unknown so she made nothing compared to Cavill. If Wonder Woman had starred Jennifer Lawrence, perhaps our biggest movie star, she would have earned $20 million or more against a huge percentage of the gross ‘cause Jennifer is a proven box office star that brings people into the…

As a person with an autoimmune disease, I am not offended in any way shape or form and actually think this is a pretty good analogy. People need to sit the fuck down.

Democrats held several hearings on the ACA and debated it on the floor for 25 days

Sen. Murphy is on fire wth this speech! I recommend peeping at the entire excerpt. A bunch of the New England Senators are really acquiring themselves very well under our new world order. The Resistance is strong with them.

She could have been holding a knife because she was barbecuing in the backyard! She could have been holding a knife because she was afraid of the burglar she called them about (yes, mental issues, I know, but...)! IT’S NOT ILLEGAL TO HOLD A KNIFE.

I really hope we’re able print out the entire internet and put it in a vault so one day the aliens can fully grasp how much we deserved our demise.

This happened to nobody’s great surprise. Anyone who tells you otherwise — who claims to believe that justice will see through this day — is either ignorant or willfully so.

Yep. Just.... fuck it.

“...told the NYT that he everyone seemed more mature and “had kind of a professional attitude” as they stepped onto the riverboat...”

My understanding is that was the crux of the trial, the law isn’t exactly clear if she was legally culpable (IMHO because it was written before the age of social media and the expansive instant communication we now have). I understand being torn, but personally I think this is a good thing. The way we communicate as a…

But I can’t help noticing that the “landmark” case for social media and texting jeering is a young woman.
