when you phrase it that way, now I'm mad that I did all my stupid shit when people were going to notice it

this is such a good idea and I'm so outraged I did not do it (and won't be able to do it tonight)

In my opinion, the one thing all of the Paramount shows have in common; the casts have always raised the material and when it was already good, it's great.

I have a bunch of random thoughts about Jesse Jackson and his 1984 presidential run was one of my first "oh racism isn't just the Klan" moments as a kid growing up in a 100%-white town, and it is absolutely too messy and nuanced for short-form posting and probably not for public consumption

When I was growing up, white Christians often criticized Rev. Jesse Jackson for inserting himself into the public eye for, it was implied, selfish reasons. He called it "the ministry of being there" and it's one of the easiest and most effective things you can do for your fellow humans. #RestInPower

what if i told you, through the power of forensic analysis, we are closer than ever to knowing the exact Far Side cartoon that is making Sting smile in this iconic photo. 🧡 πŸ‘‡

Jesse Jackson – a life in pictures The US civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, a pioneer of progressive Democratic politics, close ally of Martin Luther King Jr, and two-time candidate for the presidential nomination, has died at 84

β€œJackson is arrested in 1993 after blocking 5th Avenue as part of a group protesting against the Clinton administration’s policy of maintaining a detention camp for Haitian political refugees who were HIV positive”

Remember this history as we remember this man.

Savannah teacher killed in crash by man fleeing from ICE According to the Chatham County Police Department, Monday morning’s fatal crash was the result of a chase between Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and a suspect.

ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.

IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK 
JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS.
WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK.
AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE.
SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS.
THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES.
IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

its really fucked up that garfield repeatedly tries to send nermal to abu dhabi given that in the UAE he would likely be tried and imprisoned for his homosexuality

Exactly this.

Also if you think everybody who wore red ribbons really honestly cared about AIDS awareness, I have some bad news for you about the 1990s.

The perception of people caring can't be the only thing, but it's a very important thing.
