It was Jorge Ben who educated me, too, as to the existence of quilombos, and what they were. (Ponta de Lança Africano) In Argentina, quilombo means chaos or a mess — presumably carried forward from the noble Brazilian origins (you know how Argentina and Brazil are!)

Fuck George Washington and his slave owning ass
The wypipo Midwestern vote must be appeased. The DNC’s been overcorrecting ever since they lost some of it in 2016.
Seriously. Bolton’s oped today could be summarized as: “everyone but I, John Bolton, is an idiot.”
The Hashtag Resistance has embraced a number of questionable heroes during Trump’s term...waiting on Robert Mueller (former FBI director! the FBI is bad) to save us, lining up for James Comey (who just absolutely fucking sucks) to sign copies of his self-serving book, cheering on Michael Avenatti as he ripped off one…
Exactly. It’s a distinction Hungarian revolutionaries under Imre Nagy (Red Army soldier, NKVD spy, MSZDP member, DISZ favorite) understood quite well.
Every time I read another one of these I feel like some dude out there is saying to himself ‘and that’s why women shouldn’t run shit.’

Now, that doesn’t mean Biden’s a racist. Since when does being good friends with prominent racists, compromising with racists and voting for racist policies sometimes make you a racist?
They're too busy deriding the slogan to pay attention to the details. It's just unrealistic, don't you know!
I’m seeing people criticising this post on the assumption that “Of course rates went down, people weren’t reporting.” This is not the case.

its fantastic that de funding the police force is being embraced by the public but there are two groups of people who benefit from the bad apples narrative, cops and citizens who need the sense of security of a working police force. what these videos have done, including the actions of the buffalo squad, have revealed…
What’s shitty or disingenuous about the way the issue is being framed now?
If it weren’t for the “loudest voices” this policy that you completely agree with wouldn’t even be on the table.
I think you’re being a little harsh on this guy. He accomplished something pretty difficult to do at this stage of the protest; he made this about himself. That’s got to count for something.
If fawning praise of Hitler or Judith Miller lying us into a forever war didn’t do it, tacitly endorsing a Senator’s call to murder Americans in the street for exercising the “right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances” probably won’t do shit.
It’s more than meaningless, it’s an outright lie.
After spending days both praising themselves and being praised by others for not escalating the protests and returning peaceful protesting with brutality, the hunger for violence became too much for the NOPD here in New Orleans and they finally gassed protesters and shot at them with projectiles. (They’re blaming the…
