Many abolitionists have been calling precisely for this: To bring the barbarity of state-sanctioned killings as close to the public as possible. Let everyone see and experience how our government, with our own tax dollars, puts a human being to death.

Just the president urging Americans to take matters into their own hands to “fight back” against a small community of immigrants in their midst. No big deal.

It would be great if everyone in the Trump administration weren’t the worst fucking people on the face of the earth. Also would be great if mainstream media treated them as such, and not as just normal conservatives that you might happen to disagree with.

The assumption being that brute strength is the only way to subdue an opponent. Countless warrior women over the ages are proof this is a lie.

The Supreme Court’s destruction of the Voting Rights Act threatens to return the country to a pre-1965 America, when white supremacy was the law of the land, and Congress contained no Black members from the South.

Jim Crow was on the ash heap of history. Then came the Roberts court.
The disaster the justices have unleashed has its roots in one of the darkest periods of our past.

It is astounding how swiftly this white supremacist administration has subverted the role of the EEOC and civil rights in general. All that’s missing is the white robes and hoods.

The National Institutes of Health is the world's largest public funder of biomedical research. Under President Trump though, it's been trying to censor scientist’ views by targeting terms in their research that the administration doesn't like. We're suing.

I’m sure some felt forced to applaud. But I also assume they are now hiring based on loyalty to the administration’s white supremacist agenda so at least a few actually agree with him. Even a few is too many. Those few will be loyal to the administration and not to country.
