Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

White supremacy is terrorism.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

Fear and negativity are contagious, but so is courage!

Be a wild strawberry.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Let me file that under fuck it.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

Church Fires Continue Unrest In Ferguson

by | 6 Comments

This post is in: 

Unrest continues in Ferguson, Missouri, and the surrounding area. Seven fires have been set at predominantly black churches in the area since October 8. The question is whether the fires are connected and the motive in setting them off:

The possibility that the fires — set since Oct. 8 — were motivated by hate is being considered as part of the investigation, St. Louis Fire Capt. Garon Mosby told the Associated Press. “We believe that this fire-setting activity is meant to send a message,” Mosby said in a statement to BuzzFeed News.

The St.Louis Fire Department has set up a reward for any information that would lead to the arrest of those responsible for the fires.

Team Blackness also discussed a San Jose cop fired for combative tweets surrounding Black Lives Matter, a Maryland cop arrests a man and threatens his girlfriend over a nonexistent “breast feeding violation” and Sesame Street introduces its first autistic character.

    IIRC, since the 1960s any church fire is an automatic trigger for the FBI to investigate. Hopefully they’ll catch this asshole before someone gets hurt.

    Also, I think I heard that the most recent church to be hit by the firebug was a mostly white church, which seems like a last-second attempt by the perp to try and conceal his/her actual motive.

    “The St.Louis Fire Department has set up a reward for any information that would lead to the arrest of those responsible for the fires.”

    ANY information? Okay, how about “white, right-wing, GOPer”. Start the profiling.

    No shit. It took them 8 fires to figure that out?

    @WaterGirl: Burning churches to send a message?

    What would it take to get White officials (law, fire & media) to use the word “terrorism”?

    1. If the terrorists made a recording and describe their work as “terrorism” at least three times.
    2. If they were Muslim.
