They are worse than a usual jail.

Actually I think it would be pretty damn inappropriate to bring a rainbow flag to a march over someone’s death. So there’s a good reason you don’t see them. That doesn’t mean they aren’t there.

that because we allow everyone to piggyback on our struggle then leave us by the wayside, and dont call them out on it when they do.

LGBT+ rights is so not a thing that has been solved, tho, even if it seems that way to you. Same sex marriage is (finally) legal, but there are other issues - for example, the recent legislation in Texas that allows discrimination in adoption decisions. And then there is all of this bathroom nonsense. Pride started…

Luther is the exception, tho..

Don’t be deaf. They killed a little old guy in Seattle for holding a piece of wood and a closed pocket knife. He was a woodcarver. Being deaf, he didn’t hear the cop who yelled a couple times before shooting him in the back.

Soldiers have more honour than modern slave-catchers. Cops are essentially the maggots in our societal intestines.

You know I wrote up a long comment to this, and I deleted it.

How many times can you comment on things like this, and not get tired of repeating yourself. I think Black people need to come to terms with the fact that justice will not come in the ways we have been seeking it.

Something needs to be done to link the…

ignored “loud verbal commands”

They also move them from jail to jail just to fill up beds in the new jail. The immigrants are also forced to work in the jails for free. Soon, I imagine they might be renting them out to farmers as a road crew.

The moved part is part of the problem as well. Apparently, they aren’t deporting the immigrants as fast as Obama did, so they spend more time in these private jails, racking up profits for investors like Beauregard Sessions.

And it’s going to work too. Because there’s going to be email from the DNC chair saying she got assurances from the Justice Department and that’s all the justification Trump will need for firing Comey.

Howard Dean promoted the 50 state strategy in 2005. It got Obama elected and nearly/sort of got us both houses. He was ousted in 2009, they went back to their old ways, and wouldn’t you know it, we got crushed in 2010. In the 7 years since, we’ve learned exactly nothing.

They all need to go. The problem is that because of this ‘focused’ strategy the DNC has been running, there are very few stars in the party to replace them. They haven’t allowed good candidates to grow up from the ranks. They’ve decided who would run and when they would run. Usually for their friends.

Of course, this is a distraction. But leave it to the Dems to f*ck it up because they can’t figure out when and how to fight dirty.

I’m watching MSNBC and rolling my eyes - is anybody else thinking that all this brouhaha is to draw attention away from WaPo’s HUGE piece on Russian interference, in addition to the TrumpCare / WealthCare debacle - and all of this

“I meant to stop the threat,” Tensing reportedly told jurors last week. “I didn’t shoot to kill him. I didn’t shoot to wound him. I shot to stop his actions.”

Once again, teachers are getting assigned other people’s homework.

The burden of these interactions should be on law enforcement, but oh well.
