And when Cooper cited data showing record employment numbers, Ocasio-Cortez rightfully pointed out that there exists a stark difference between jobs and well-paying jobs.

I feel like she’s exactly the type of person we need for the current situation - she’s speaking up about issues and plans that used to be considered career-killers, and she’s fucking handling her critics on twitter.

For reference. Start at 1:47

This is a really odd thing to be elitist about.

I’ve been wanting someone to put these points out there for a long time and she’s doing it.  I’m not calling for AOC 2020 at all, but she’s doing good work and making solid points.

Eat shit, Coop.

“How can you say that?”

That Overton window shifting into some new light. I love it!!!!

Somehow it’s different if you’re rich or famous.
Courtney Snodden is another example of that. Her parents sold that girl to her abuser. I find her tragic.

See Dave Chappelle's jury duty skit and you'll understand. 

What do you expect from someone from San Fransisco, a city that’s managed to excise its Black population (except for its jails?)

We need a follow up on Chicago PD’s involvement. That department requires a deep cleanse. One story I didn’t see on the program was how many PASTORS were involved in protecting Kelly. He would hold “viewing parties” and after the first tape leaked he started keeping his tapes on him carrying them around in a gym bag.…

I teared up a bunch of times when the survivors talked about what he’d done to them - getting choked, slapped, starved, having to piss and shit in buckets, the sexual abuse/domination ... The one who said she was in the hospital for two weeks with mono and almost died and he was nowhere around but sent her mother a…

I wanted to throw up, cry, jump through the screen, choke the useless cops, scold those around him who did NOTHING, hug the girls, tell them they are loved, worthy, strong, beautiful. This docu-series is life changing. R. Kelly needs to be in prison. Period. God be with the survivors, their families. Bless them. 

Same.

The lesson seems to be - Do Not Get Married. 

It’s maddening when a woman’s life is to who she married or who her offspring is. My obituary will read “no one’s wife and mother of none is dead; therefore, no one cares.”

Black admitting to driving the car while his friend, being called Larry W. right now, shot into Jazmine’s car thinking it was someone else. The gun was found at Black’s home. It’s not clear if they have the shooter, this Larry W., in custody yet from any report I’ve read. Just that they are questioning other people. 

That’s better than the other option, which is that someone in the car was trying to protect his identity of this garbage human being, and that's also inexcusable.

Faulty eyewitness information. Happens all the time. See the DC Sniper case when everyone was looking for a white van due to information from eyewitnesses. The killers were actually driving a blue Chevy Caprice.
