This would seem to be the wrong song for a time of PANDEMIC that’s killed almost 200,000 Americans & shredded the economy. Trump is even more of a MORON than I already thought

Good song...BETTER song is The (formerly DIXIE) CHICKS’ song GOODBY EARL—police fail to help woman w/abusive husband-even when she ends up in the hospital. So, her best friend helps make Earl “disappear” & he becomes (quote) “a missing person no one missed at all.”  Another great country song about domestic violence…

Glad I’m NOT the only one who felt that way about the song when it came out. Always thought it was CREEPY

I think instead of “upper class”(NOT a term generally used) what you’re pointing to is usually called “elite”---which refers to EDUCATED--NOT wealthy.

Why is it “pie in the sky shit” to ahve unviersal health care? Every Other Western Industrialized nation—EXEPT the U.S.— has it!Full disclosure: I supported Bernie in 2016 and have been “torn” between Bernie & Warren for 2020. Warren’s policies are really IMPRESSIVE and I urge people to go to her website and see the…

Uh.. Trump “does something really really stupid” Every Single Day. You observe the old trope that “voters vote with their wallets” & suggest that how people’s 401K is doing will be decisive in supporting Trump. HOW MANY AMERICANS EVEN Have a 401K??? Right now, 40% to 50% of Americans are living in deep poverty,…

glad I’m too broke to shop at EITHER of those yuppie stores.

if you haven’t copyrighted “Can’t trust cops to see with their eyes instead of their racism”, you should (though it CAN apply to any white person...it’s just that cops seem especially with that particular vision problem present dangerous potential). Bravo on you

LOL great fill-in for bubble above cop’s head!

ROFLOMAO

Discovering story of Ida B. Welles as a journalit, editor & activist/co-fonder of NAACP and then, falling olve with the writings of James Baldwin (both in the early 1970s as a 15 year old) set the course of my life. I became a journalist—-& the RESPONSIBILITIES of a journalist to the most “marginalized”/silenced of…

Right on! MLK was prolific eesayist (speech-writer) and his books should be assinged---or at least, the FULL text of the “I Have A Dream” speech, “Letter From Birminham Jail” and his “Beyond Vietnam” speech (April 4, 1967 one year to the day before he was assassinated). One could say the same for Malcolm X, Angela…

ROLFLMAO I mean REALLY laughing with tears & everything. Thanks, I needed that!

EVERY word you say is the maddening TRUTH. (For years, I’ve argued with members of my right-wing family who have joined the Trump Cult). Your moniker for Todd “milk soaked wonder bread” is HILARIOUS and begs for wider usage.

I’ve despised Chuck Todd for some time but, only Michael Harriot could express my feelings accurately. Harriot’s descriptive phrase of Todd’s stupidity being like “a monkey smoking meth” gave me the welcome relief of ROFLMAO.

I worked in another bookstore chain (Waldenbooks) and independent bookstores in the 1980s and early 1990s—and even back then. such a BACKWARDS idea DIDN’T happen! (Full disclosure: I’m white). Even if B & N wanted to focus on [long established] “classics” by Black authors and were responding—as their press release…

Given that there were BRUISES on the victims NECK and VAGINAL TEARS and BLOOD, that’s NOT consent. Bryant & his lawyers trashed the victim & revelaed her name where the public further harassed her. I don’t blame her for taking a settlement, refusing to testify and remaining silent. I’ve been through a similar…

Yours is the most concise and CLEAR distinction of how Sanders’ “only class” analysis DOESN’T address many chalLEnges due to racism/white supremacy, sexism, racism=sexism 9that ONLY women of color endure) and homophobia. Full disclosure: I was a Bernie supporter in 2016 but, felt frustrated by these aspects of him…

I bet it wsn’t just a “bump in her history” for the woman Kobe Bryant CHOKED and SEXUALLY ASSAULTED

As a survivor of sexual assault/rape myself (who got no justice--just hounded by my “community”) THANK YOU for your post. It helps to know that SOME people really do see these issues clearly
