How about “Ulysses S. Grant Kicked Robert E Lee’s Ass Highway”

Here’s one of my Boston police stories (I have a number of them).

I know it’s the unofficial (actual) national sport... But isn’t it time to change football as we know it since 99% of players in the recent research had brain damage? That’s terrible... People should be realizing every time they’re watching this that they’re seeing players be brain damaged so they can’t operate

“The workers are beholden to their masters to maintain their status and revenue streams. I’m just saying that black people are rarely willing to take meaningful steps to exert pressure and force change.”

That’s why he and Mel only have one kid

Soooo presidential.

Trump’s MO seems to be to pull out of things that are crumbling around him in an effort to save face.

In the past few weeks we’ve said goodbye to the Mooch, Spicey, Reince and as of today, Steve Bannon.

I wish I could agree with you, but I can’t. Trump has a history of continuing to consult people he has “fired”:

I would say “I told you so” to all of these epiphany-havin jackasses, but I think a “Man, fuck outta my face” is more apt right now.

I don’t buy this at all. I have the exact opposite reading of the “firing.” Trump has had establishment types breathing down his neck recently and trying to control him. This wasn’t an angry firing or displacement of Bannon, this was just relocating Rasputin outside the palace so he is unfettered to do Trump’s work

The letter is an acrostic which spells out “RESIST”

Reproach...
Elevating...
Speaking...
Ignoring
Supremacy...
Thank You...

I literally died.

I’ve been having my mind blown lately over how much Evangelical Christianity has contributed to racist mindsets in America and all over the world. I had an idea, but the depth of it is shocking. This Twitter thread I read yesterday really blew me away and explained a lot:

Unsolicited advice from someone who survived a very necessary estrangement from her own mother: beware of anyone who attempts to convince you that you should be able to look past this. I wish someone had told me 20 years ago that “blood is not thicker than safety.” Thank you and good luck.

Twitter would have to block Donald Trump to even begin fixing their shit. The only thing I would regret about that, would be losing reading his Tweetstorm about no longer being able to Tweet.

I’m thinking any platform that hosts (and fails to deal with) white supremacists deserve to have high profile members delete their accounts and as a result publicly remove their endorsement. Pretty sure there would be an actual focus by these companies (FB, Twitter) to stop allowing hatred to organize and proliferate

Since these statues are supposedly about history... how about we just erected another statue, next to existing statue, of a black union shoulder with a bayonet pointed at the original statue, and change the positions of the arms of the original statue into one of surrender, possibly holding a white flag?
