The neighbors probably weren’t but the walls definitely were and we already know property ranks above black people in this country.

Wow FUCK this guy and all cops. Breonna’s murderers should never see another day of peace as long as they live. 

Yeah, that’s what the city was willing to pay to protect cops from accountability.  

I support abolishing the police because there are still too many who think they should be able to murder without consequences. If we live in a democratic society that encourages people to meet in the middle, the middle is not, “we need an authoritarian state.” I’ll gladly support a position that’s super left because…

Actually, the evidence shows that Kentucky does not value Black Lives at all and will take every measure possible to make sure that police who murder innocent civilians in their own homes are not held accountable in the least.

To me, the root problem of the criminal justice system is that it treats crime as individual failures to be remedied through individual meting out of vengeful punishments, and at no time does that problem manifest itself more than when there is an indictment (or not) in a case like this involving the police. Our…

The guy was charged with “wanton endangerment” for shooting into neighboring apartments. Not for shooting Brianna. Apparently shooting apartments is a bigger crime than shooting an innocent woman in her own home. That you busted into without identifying yourselves. That was actually the wrong apartment. And you were…

Former owners did a big remodel on the two upstairs baths. We moved in, noticed some funky stuff with plumbing, figured it was just because our house is nearly 100 years old.

I think she may have been more deliberate in this than people realize. She seems to have been coldly lucidly rational enough to slap people down quick when they challenged her about some things that didn’t fit.

a small thing but in case ppl are new to this story, this piece implies agency in her “outing” but in the NYTimes and other reportings it’s more clear that she was about to be outted by black colleagues in the field. Asking to be “cancelled” was just another example of the way she tries to co-opt language when she…

Maybe someday cats will be considered fully fledged crew members and not just “pets”.

It’s a ripple effect from the time that Spot’s amniotic fluid was the key to stopping de-evolution.

They’re a couple hundred years in the future. Due to a genetic issue that only he could fix, all cats are now related to Spot.

Smug bitchiness, huh?

It took me a long time to learn some of the lessons in this piece. “Having a conversation” isn’t inherently a bad thing. In fact, you could argue it’s necessary, as that’s where everything starts. But the “conversation” never goes anywhere, the subject drops out of the news and people are expected to just think back…

According to the New York Times’s Kathleen Kingsbury, we are living in a period of political division. In June, the newspaper published an op-ed by Tom Cotton, sparking weeks of debate over the politics and practices of mainstream media. Looking for a silver lining in the fallout over Cotton’s racist screed,…

Having a conversation implies that there are parties who need to understand the situation and learn more. Facebook is notorious for making such claims but...

The LEOs are well-equipped to use force against the disobedience of an angry mob and expect resistance and injuries. They are flummoxed and defeated by a strong, confident, clearly unarmed woman. Since the person is silent and anonymous her motive is altruistic, she lets the message speak for itself.

Did you know the cops left after her arrival? She put herself out there to challenge them. She literally put her vulnerable body on the line. Keep bitching about how white people don’t protest “properly”. How is that going to help? 

Oh for fuck’s sake with this endless wokery.
