“The Congressional Black Caucus was apparently responsible for this decision, which was meant to memorialize Floyd, but the move still came across as something more suited to a Veep subplot than real life.”

So Pelosi should have lectured the CBC on the ownership of black culture?

I thought about this a lot over the weekend— the “why now” question; the best I can think of is a combination of your explanation- with widespread horrible and taped (the latter is key) police response to protests— this hasn’t “blown over” as shitty as it is because Law Enforcement keep reinforcing the need for real…

Perhaps also the huge amount of unemployed cause of Covid.

Not only extra time to think but extra time to act. People don’t have to worry about missing a shift to protest, the job is already gone! 

The Congressional Black Caucus was apparently responsible for this decision, which was meant to memorialize Floyd, but the move still came across as something more suited to a Veep subplot than real life.

But the death of Floyd and the worldwide protests that followed have, for whatever reason, unleashed the perfect powder keg of catharsis and fury, forcing politicians to grapple with policy in an unprecedented way.

We all saw the video. Those 2 cops shoved that man to the ground for no reason but to hurt him. Their 57 buddies resigning because those 2 shitheads were caught proves those 57 cops are also pieces of shit.

So, while I think GW Bush is a deeply problematic person, like it or not, a LOT of GOPers respect him. He’s not talking to black people, or people who read here on Jez. He’s talking to white republicans. White, moderate, republicans are going to read his statement and listen to him. We all start somewhere, and if he’s…

I actually witnessed a Facebook friend who is substantively conservative and right leaning make the logical leap to understanding that freedom has more often been won through actual physical struggle than anything overtly peaceful. That the civil rights amendment didn’t happen until after the widespread riots of the…

These people are literally never going to get over the idea that many, many more voters wanted someone besides their Dream Candidate.

“I’ve said many times that Bernie Joe Biden needs to win in November, and I will phone bank as much as I possibly can to do my part to make sure that a Bernie Biden win happens’...while I talk as much shit as I possibly can to see that it doesn’t by inflaming those against him by taking every opportunity to make him…

Can you guys stop?  You know whats at stake here - The President just walked to a church solely so he could have his troops gas peaceful protesters.  We don’t have time for your herf derf look at ole man Biden - that gaffe machine - both sides bullshit.

In general, I think that Jezebel writers often provide a valuable, or at least a different, perspective on issues that other mainstream publications often lack.

Donald Trump just declared war on the United States live on television.  We do not have time for this.

Wow. Because of a weak, cowardly, white supremacist president martial law is about to be invoked and you guys are taking pot shots at Biden. Nice.

Sure, Biden has a tendency to walk the most cloddish path available to him at any given time, but he’s not pretending everything that’s happening in America right now is a referendum on him either, which is always refreshing. Waddles has responded to both the virus and the protests as personal affronts directed at him…

The Cotton thing just kept going. 1st, he doubled down by name-checking a few more divisions he’d like to call in against American citizens:

I agree, i wish there was something comparable to the Jezebel and Jane of years past. This site also low keys loves the Kardashians (sp) while pretending hate on them - which is worse? Man Repeller and The Cut/Vulture has aspects that make for good reading albeit the marketing of high cost items aspect. This site has…

What?! This movie was highly enjoyable and Tom Cruise and his wig were campy, scenery-chewing perfection. I gotta say, I’ve been visiting this site since it launched but I think I’m done. Between that ghastly “breaking quarantine for dick” article and the current writers’ insistence on writing entire articles sneering…
