As a long time resident of the area you’re about to drive through. Don’t stop anywhere. Drive straight through to Shreveport.

At some point someone will make him see the light and he’ll apologize and we’ll all move on. But the lingering problem that persists is that well-off liberals like him don’t truly live the lives of the targets of so much violence in this nation, it’s not on his mind on a daily basis like it is for so many people. A…

I would advise anyone wanting to discuss “politically motivated assassinations of politicians” to define their topic as such so as not to foolishly appear to invalidate thousands of incidences of political violence that have targeted marginalized populations.

Nope, It’s going to be a hell of a talking point when it comes to them demonizing liberals though. This is going to rile up their base and make things worse for all of us. This speeding train is just about ready to leap off the tracks and do some major damage.

We’re not going to get rid of the Fourth Amendment search and seizure rights because it allows some criminals to go free who should be behind bars.

Lapsed Baptist here: Not surprised in the least. Baptists also tend to be hypocritical as fuck. What’s that old joke: Jews don’t recognize Christ. Catholics don’t recognize Protestants. And Baptists don’t recognize each other in the liquor store.

Money is what has destroyed most churches that were once, I believe, founded with good intentions. It’s time to go back to localized authority and living room teaching

Hope they’re handing out Pepsi, too.

Because, when you’re racist and you have nothing going for you, you can take comfort in the lie that you’re still somehow magically superior.

It’s all the bile and spite--it eats you from the inside until that’s all that’s left of you. Makes meth-heads look like Jack LaLanne.

Good piece, well done!

It’s interesting that there is always so much talk about “POC solidarity” in black activist circles. But I do wonder if this dialogue is something that happens in other groups? From the outside looking in, it doesn’t always feel like it.

I think something that should be said, but goes often unspoken, is that in both cases as well Religion is used as the justification for the mistreatment of fellow human beings.

I’ve lost a significant amount of weight and I give a lot of credit to running, and I can often be found booking it down the New England streets like a locomotive. Maybe five years ago, an older, Jewish friend of mine, an expert on acerbic wit, was dining with another friend of mine and saw me run past on the other…

Thank you for writing this! There are so many ways a lot of us who enjoy freedom of movement forget that this is not so for others. Being a white presenting Latina married to a black man, I like to think that I am pretty “woke”/ aware, but there are so many things I don’t even think about and it is important to keep…

At first I thought you must be talking about Seattle Washington. not only are you suspected if you are running but if you have a physique they suspect you have been to jail. I remember in St Petersburg Florida I was walking at a fast pace trying to get to the bus stop in one of them country Tom Brother said to me as I…

I recall being 18 and out for a run as I was conditioning for the Air Force Academy and had a car with with four men in it roll up and jump out. I was so surprised, I stopped running and asked them if I could help them.

She already stole Frankenberry’s face and got away with it, why would she stop there?
