Brandon Herrera could walk out on camera and literally proclaim his undying love for Hitler and white supremacy and he would STILL get elected. We won't win this in the ballot box.
I went to see Metallica and Guns and Roses in 1992. Tickets cost $30. Just heard on the radio that tickets for the latest Metallica show start - START - at $700. Jesus wept.
Well ... Donald got his blank check for a forever war. Someday I'll be telling my kids what it was like having a Congress and living in a Democracy. They won't believe my silly stories.
So it turns out MAGA was right. There is, in fact, an immigrant conspiracy to undermine our elections. newrepublic.com/post/206857/...
Sometimes I forget, what with all the meshugaas and goings on, that our legal system can be truly strange. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Rev. Jesse Jackson was a force of nature. Operation PUSH and the Rainbow Coalition did a lot of good for a lot of people. He told us to keep hope alive. Thank you for your voice, sir, and rest in peace.

They use 18 U.S.C. Β§ 111 to show it's illegal to interfere with federal officers. What they leave out is the phrase "in performance of official duties." Sleeping in a hotel, eating in a restaurant, or sitting at home watching TV are not "official duties." Act accordingly.
Well, as long as we're focusing on Puerto Rico, let's not forget the first Puerto Rican to appear on American television, Johnny Rodriguez. He ran a Drag club in San Juan called "El Cotorrito." Puerto Rico and Queer history collide!

He was carrying legally.
He disagreed with a cop who was trying to beat a woman.
He did not pull his weapon.
They took his gun and executed him just for having it.
If having a weapon is a death sentence, then there's no reason not to shoot first.
Fellow whites: If you see a Black person being harassed by police, hug them. A good "both arm" hug to put your body between the cop and the victim. Gently move away from the cop and let the crowd coalesce behind you. Will that get you arrested? Maybe, but you've saved a life.
