To add - the NC Voter ID measure has not been fleshed out in any detail. Really, none of the six constitutional amendments up this year have, at all, including this one and the one where they’ll get to choose all candidates for judicial appointments. They say they’ll figure the details out after the vote.

You forgot Michigan Proposal 2, which would end political gerrymandering. All three of Michigan’s are hugely important. Two and three would transform the state from one that has one of the most archaic voting systems to one of the most expansive and accessible, and end ungerrymander one of the most gerrymandered…

Announcing right before the election that you’re going to be fucking with Obamacare enrollment?  Keep it up, you orange ape; please proceed, president.

Also Michigan Proposal 2 against gerrymandering: https://ballotpedia.org/Michigan_Proposal_2,_Independent_Redistricting_Commission_Initiative_(2018). The current electoral districts are almost surgically designed to dilute Democratic and Black votes, and the legislature has proven (not surprisingly) wholly unwilling…

IDC about Taylor Swift, but I like the fact that this voter registration spike is being attributed to her because it gives Mike Huckabee and his thunderbuddies all kinds of heartburn.

Well, remember when Malcolm called the members of the Nation of Islam douchebags, losers, and said he didn’t like them? And when Dr King said that nobody has done more for the movement than he has? And when Rosa said she had a special skillset, and she was donating her time and skill to humanity? Yea, me neither.

So she just being your typical white person who wants credit for the work of a brown person.

Awful truth about people who are self interested when they chime in #MeToo it’s really #HeyWhatAboutMe instead.

Magic 8 ball says -shake shake shake- Not Likely.

Best thing to come of this creature’s recent political awakening is all the alt-right tears. And this article.

Great information and followup Terrell!! This village appears to have a population under 5000; I wonder how many people of color live there, I fear for them especially.  Timothy Loehmann has no business having any job where he has a weapon. He has shown that he is a murder, abuser of children and totally incompetent.…

FOP is too powerful. This is the negative effect of a union. FOP protect murderers.

I love that The Root and a couple other outlets follow up on these officers because I remember Tamir Rice, Mike Brown etc but over time I forget the individual cops who killed them and other people probably do too and it allows them to slide into other communities undetected. One of these animal cops could end up being…

So why wasn’t he charged for soliciting a prostitute? They arrest citizens every day for that crime but he just gets suspended without pay until they figure out what disciplinary charges they want to bring against him. I bet the average citizen wish they got off as easy for the same crime.

Can’t have been a black eye. If it was they’d have shot it.

What amazing restraint these officers had after being fired upon and seeing one of their mates killed to take the armed White guy alive, a quality that should be applauded once they also manage to show the same restraint on calls that deal with disabled individuals or those with mental health issues having episodes or…

“I murdered a cop and shot 6 others and all I got was a black eye”

Remember, if only white women were allowed to vote...Donald Trump would still be president, Brett Kavanaugh would still be on the Supreme Court, and a child molester from Alabama would be in the Senate.

Wesley Morris’ NYT Mag article seems to have animated the “anti pc bros” who brought out capes for Midler after she doubled down by quoting Yoko Ono. They tried to credit the genius of John Lennon and gaslight black women as irrational philistines. Exposing white privilege yet again.

Great writing Monique.
