I feel this pain. For a number of years when I was much younger I had no car. I live in a city where public transportation hovers around 4032 on the list of things that matter. My 20 minute drive to work, would take about an hour on the bus and I had to take it an hour before that to get to work on time as the buses…

An otherwise simple errand can be an all-day affair, when depending on public transportation. When voter ID is being ‘discussed’, many do not realize that a trip to the Motor Vehicles Department may involve four or six hours of time, between travel and waiting in line. This would require taking time off from work,…

I get your point. But this major “FOOD SERVICE” company has done more more in acknowledging their wrongs than ANY other “prestigious” seats in office and supposed honorable positions of law enforcement. The Starbucks incident was far less damaging to our communities than all these other terrible racist act than most…

Cmmunity college is a great place to start anyway. avoid that debt, although if his grades are good, he can probably find some good scholarships

The May 23 accident resulted in the chicken feathers—scheduled to be made into animal feed in Canada...

I actually honeymooned in Canada, kind of accidentally. I’d been to Montréal many times and when I met the guy who’s now my husband I said, “We’ve never been away together. Why don’t we go to Montréal? I can speak French. I can’t speak Québécois, but they can understand French if they hear it.”

David Blight’s lectures on the lead up to the civil war and reconstruction are free online. Here is a clip from one of his final lectures where he describes the memorial ceremony in more detail and how he discovered it. Go to 42:58 if the video doesn’t do it automatically.

Later, a group of black workmen dug up the bodies and reburied them to properly honor the fallen.

Oh, I’ve had the same problem and you won’t believe how embarrassing it is to have guests see the mess you’ve made. That’s why I ended up buying a second hot plate just so nobody sees me cooking my Ramen.

A documentary from the PBS program “Frontline” said that the federal government has actually released some of the minors to human traffickers. As Sen. Portman told Frontline, “We’ve got these kids. They’re here. They’re living on our soil. And for us to just, you know, assume someone else is going to take care of them…

I see what you’re saying and in any other case like Starbucks I wouldn’t. But this is a long standing tradition held by Black bikers. This is lunch counter, swimming pool racism and it needs to be dealt with toe to toe. Not allowing people to have enjoyment and disrupting their pursuit of happiness is terroristic and…

Aye, when you find that mythical town in America that won’t discriminate against black people you let us know.

This is so dumb. Most Black clubs like the Buffalo Soldiers MC are about charity and honoring history. The White MCs are known for lawlessness and drug running (as romanticized on “Son of Anarchy”). If the police are needed for any biker group it’s the White ones. My father has been a weekend Harley rider for years…

Two words for you: Roomba Herd.

He didn’t apologise, he claimed she was “misremembering” and then went “oh, it was just a bit”.

ok!

Good for Pete. I’m on the fence about Grande, but if he likes picking her up, who am I to judge?

It is National Escargot Day today.
