I said to my students that the Civil Rights movement was ended by a slew of assassinations&they looked shocked.This is something people know but do not interpolate.The mythology that nonviolent strategy equals peaceful politics has been so deliberately&well made that folks are genuinely confused.

This video is amazing. Nothing this man says is true. He knows he's lying, the anchor knows he's lying. He's a fascist pimping for a pedophile. We're going to have to deal with these people, eventually. Personally, i think it's suicidally stupid to wait until they've consolidated power, but that me

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

The legit gutted abortion rights and the VRA and the entire time we had Senators engage in a polite fiction of a confirmation process. Except for Merrick Garland, of all damn people.

I am not being hyperbolic. Our insistence on segregating our histories, in encapsulating the struggle for voting/civil rights as a Black struggle and not an American one, has helped bring us to this moment. We did not have representative democracy until 1965. W/o the VRA, it is unlikely to survive.

Despite creating a billion-dollar franchise - with a new $200M budget Hollywood blockbuster launching in a month - the creator of He-Man's family were unable to afford his dementia and care facility costs, and had to setup a GoFundMe. Mattel gave $5,000.

The reason this works is a rock-solid commitment to ignoring how and why votes are distributed along racial lines in the first place. The Supreme Court justices have to pretend they’ve been dropped in from nowhere, and there’s no relevant history to explain the context.

Neil has been a class act fighting for aboriginal rights for decades and I'm so fucking glad to hear this

How much of the “ignore the groups” talk is a hedge against Congress ever addressing these attacks on voting rights?

Think I’ll spend the down time reading fiction and doodling and listening to music. It won’t change anything but it won’t drive me deeper into despair while also not changing anything. I hope everybody gets what’s coming to them.

when people say the bush's werent so bad in contrast to trump, remember that they collectively brought us thomas, alito and roberts.

got banned for life from the TaleSpin forums for suggesting that Baloo in TaleSpin is NOT the same bear as Baloo in The Jungle Book. People were screaming at me to shut the fuck up even though I provided EVIDENCE

"Stock market indicies indicate a slightly positive open as the US President Vows to plunge the world into a global economic collapse"

this is yet another reason why firearm proliferation is a terrible idea... unless you are training like a soldier, you won't do well in the "I need to be the good guy with the gun" scenario you have in mind instead you will shoot no one, or someone you didn't mean to

This is the only national newscast that I could see introducing a wisecracking dog sidekick that reacts to events in the news by saying things like “the fat cats I know eat out of the garbage instead of increasing the deficit, bow wow” and then Tony Dokoupil goes ohhhhhhhhhhh Wally!

The depth and extent of Cuomo’s retaliation in public across years and years is really one of the strongest pieces of evidence affirming Boylan’s account of his despicable private behavior.
