I think you’re getting this sideways. The ACLU is defending their right to protest. Not their right to run down people with cars. The ACLU defends constitutional rights. I don’t think they’d go to bat for the violence that occurred.

Which has what to do with them having caches of weapons?

Apparently the fascists were preparing for all-out war in Charlottesville:

What I thought. Actually what I thought well before he even got close to the WH. I kept thinking “Surely the people who actually control American politics won’t let him ruin their cushy gig.” and continued to be surprised by a distinct lack of removal every step of the way. My whole belief system is in tatters now.…

Jesus. I didn’t know I was capable of laughing today, but you did it. Thank you!

This man’s continued existence is proof that JFK was not killed by any government plot.

If my teen depression had looked like this, my mother would have absolutely just screamed at me to sort my hair out, in addition to telling me to “get over it.” If she didn’t shave my head for me, with or without my consent. In reality, I pulled my hair out, and had a bald patch going at any given time, and instead of…

I’m in tears. Kayley’s a guardian angel in disguise and I’m so happy that it was her chair that this poor distressed girl stumbled into. Not only does her client’s new hair look amazing, she clearly received the sort of love and care she desperately needed right now. I’m deeply concerned about this girl’s home…

I’ve lived with pretty severe bipolar disorder I since I was 14 (diagnosed only at age 28, but the symptoms set in far, far earlier than that). I know the pain of being so depressed you can’t get out of bed for days at a time, so much that even the thought of showering is too exhausting to accomplish. I know how it…

Kinja’s been doing a thing where it takes a while for edits to show, but they eventually do.

Assuming the hairdresser is addressing this specific girl’s case, apparently the parents told her to “get over it.” Which is really effective in alleviating depression. /s So beyond neglect, I’d say.

I had a thumb-sized mat towards the back of my hair that I had to cut out for this very same reason. Depression is real and it’s not laziness and I wish more people understood it like Kayley does. That more people were willing to work with the people suffering.

My edit isn’t taking, for some reason? I wanted to add that one of the other articles was also about a hairdresser who went that extra mile. What amazing people! <3

This is at least the third article I’ve read in a similar vein — about depressed people neglecting their self-care — in the last month or two. I don’t know what has caused this emergence, but I welcome it. I work from home so I’m not worried about what I look/smell like to other people, so my depression wins most…

We need more of this in the world! Compassion and empathy for people who are dealing with mental health issues. So many people are quick to shame, quick to dismiss, spout off the quote of a stupid Pinterest meme about having a happy mindset like it’s common sense and people who have mental are too stupid to realize…

With 100 piece of shit witnesses saying he just walked up and murdered those 3 guys, and the crowd converged on them, disarmed him, and beat the shit out of him as the police came. Then he’s be in jail for life.

That’s how it would have gone down. Idiot.

What is going on with our country? Why does it seem like since the Trump election people are trying to claw back decades of progress? Civil rights, LGBT rights, education, immigration, and let’s throw in a nuclear war. I believed that each generation was supposed to learn from the past and make themselves better but…

“Thug or not, if I were him, I would’ve shot those idiots.”

also, yes. this is literally across the street from the courthouse and next door to the police station. it is unreal how brazen they are.

Saw this photo and instantly realized I watched some independent journalist (he says his name at the end, but I’m not sure of spelling - Jake Wesley Anderson?) walk past this as it happened, unbeknownst to him earlier today. (at about 50min, on)
