Isaiah Blackwell used his body as a shield in guiding Jake Lang away from counterprotesters before two Black women were his unexpected getaway drivers.
Former Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak said, “Lang saw that Black man as less than him. The Black man saw Lang as a human being.”

I've said before that a billion dollars is the socioeconomic equivalent of a loose nuke, but it's worse. It's like a loose nuke and *the very process of GETTING that nuke made you a delusional sociopath.*

Since his socialist ideology was written out of the history books.. In his own words:
"If America does not use her vast resources of wealth to end poverty and make it possible for all of God’s children to have the basic necessities of life, she too will go to hell."
Happy MLK Day.

I'm going to be honest with my fellow Christians: I don't think you can claim to follow someone who willing went to their death and say you didn't sign up to be a martyr.

The fact that Gavin Newsom is even talking to the likes of Shapiro is a sign that he’s a non-starter. I’ve never forgotten how Shapiro said that Trayvon Martin deserved to die. Not fucking ever.

On January 12, 1991, Fugazi took to the stage in Lafayette Park, right in front of the White House – unthinkable today – to play a relatively short set, thereby expressing her protest against the Gulf War.

Worth emphasizing that this is not only an authoritarian regime engaged in a murderous campaign of terror and ethnic cleansing, it is carrying out this campaign while illegally covering up for a historically massive child sex trafficking ring because the leader was probably criminally involved

i think these absolutely deranged right-wingers have convinced themselves that the average American believes that it's acceptable to publicly execute nice white mothers because they have pronouns in their bios
i also think this is a gross misrreading of actual public opinion

they really do think that "she had PRONOUNS" and "She was A LESBIAN" will cause people to suddenly go "hm yes, it was justified, what a disgusting person she was, she deserved it" don't they
