At least Leslie Jones has public support! What about all those POC who deal with this crap on social media every day but they’re not famous and beyond their family and friends have no recourse?

They have publicists.

It shouldn’t matter, but when the shooter is white, he’s a lone wolf with a mental illness.

They were, in the midst of chaos, STILL nobly doing their jobs. And that’s the thing: most cops, when they were 5 and in their underoos, dreamed of being the “good guy”. We just gotta stop making them be the arm of white supremacy in the commission of their duties. Allow these folks the opportunity to not make a…

I’ve thought about this and realized that it can be both. I believe he thinks his daughter is an exceptional woman (and not just the whole “if she wasn’t my daughter I’d...” bit of effluvia). I believe he encouraged her. Because she’s his. And that alone makes her exceptional by virtue of those yugely great genes. But…

Those are a lot of words. Thanks for taking the time (no snark). And, thanks for your work. And, my horse isn’t high and from where I sit/stand/walk/march/write, I do my part to the best of my skill/ability/ableness. All those things you say have truth, and we disagree on some semantics (system vs. people behind those…

i agree that Westboro > ISIL, but only b/c Westboro hicks don’t blow themselves up. I also agree that radical Islamists are unique in the urgency of their threat, but I actually don’t think it’s radical Islam itself as a religion supporting these views- it’s a subsect of unstable, desperate people who misinterpret…

Meh. Saying something ugly and regrettable in the heat of the moment kind of pales in comparison to murdering your children.

Everyone is a responsible gun owner until, you know, suddenly they aren’t.

agree. but christians, hindus, buddhists, etc. aren’t blowing themselves up and killing as many ppl as possible. you don’t have to say “radical islam” but hopefully you realize what it is, despite how non-representative it is of the entire religion. i don’t see how recognizing facts should be controversial.

I’m a lawyer and my mentor was a career ACLU lawyer. I should definitely donate in her memory.

Samantha Bee made almost the exact same joke.

BEYONCE IS ALMOST THE SAME WORD AS BENGHAZI!!!11!

Ahhhh yes, Trevor Noah. The person who most likely had nothing to do with a tweet sent out by social media staffers. He is the true villain here.

I agree. If you enjoy the sound of a type of music then naturally that’s the kind of music you’ll make. It would be pretty sucky if you were only allowed to be influenced by the music made where you were born/ your parents were born/ you lived.

1. Thank you very much for what you do. Truly, you have an incredible position. I respect anyone in criminal defense.

This is not what “good hair” means. Please stop writing articles like this. The term is hurtful and offensive enough without a bunch of white people running around using it as thought it just means someone with “nice hair.”

Actually, no. Different kinds of litigation are wildly different. I’m a medical malpractice litigator and I don’t even do medical device injury cases because the rules, procedures, and customs in products litigation is different enough from medical negligence that it’s not realistic for me to be expert at both. A…

“Being white is literally a “get out of jail free card” pure and simple. To deny this fact is to be wrong”
