Holy shit. Rick Jackson didn’t just duck a debate with Keisha Lance Bottoms. He left her debating an empty podium. And the moderator made damn sure everyone knew it. Moderator Jeff Hullinger: “Mayor Bottoms, you may now ask a question to your opponent represented by the empty podium.”

Columbus was considered an inhumane bloodthirsty murdered IN HIS TIME If I were Italian I would be offended that he's the guy upheld to represent my people not least because he did all of this shit for money AND he was a shit sailor to boot.

According to a new NYT investigation, at least 44 governors, 70 US senators, and 185 House members have faced violent threats over the past two years. Their staff and families as well. A key source of this danger is Donald Trump, as I documented earlier this year. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

As a teacher who has felt a bit stuck these past few years and also as a teacher who has a limited ballet background & teaches mostly tap & theatre style dance, it’s been refreshing to see that I am doing this right, I do know what I’m talking about & perhaps I am a pretty damn good teacher too.
