Might I humbly suggest to all the other white people: if you are made uncomfortable by black people, immigrants, trans people, sex workers and any other marginalized groups asking to be treated with dignity and respect, that fits squarely in the “you problem” category.
And I say that sincerely. Look, I get it. We’ve all found ourselves in moments where the way we think about the world, and indeed the very core of our selves, is challenged. And the initial reaction is often a rejection of that.
It’s common enough to be pedestrian. But it’s the second beat, when reflection often starts that’s key. So, instead of digging in on your myopic and hurtful views -and then writing long, racist columns in a national newspaper or your local Facebook group - stop and think

This is a really important point a lot of white people dont get. Fucked up racist shit didn’t stop with the end of the civil rights movement, no matter how comfortable it makes white folks to think so.
It’s why people saying “what has our country become!” comments are so frustrating to people of color and others. White people may have stopped paying attention but the bullshit didn’t stop.
And it’s why Biden insisting simultaneously that we return to the past but also not use the past against him so galling.

Tyrion’s trifflin ass daddy also kidnapped the chosen one in The Golden Child so, fuuuuck that dude I’m glad he finally got shot with an arrow
Oh shit that dude that got dead by acid in Robocop AND Lightning from Big Trouble In Little China apparently also worked for Tyrion’s dad on the Golden Child caper. So much evil done by so few dudes in the 80s.
DAVID LOPAN was involved in the Golden Child situation too?!??! Somebody call Q

#FOIA response or awful Christmas sweater?
(It's a trick question, because the answer doesn't matter. Either would contribute equally to your understanding of what the government is doing.)
Trying to decide whether this is a better or worse #FOIA metaphor than the fact that an agency just mailed me a blank DVD.

Remember that advisory board that Interior Secretary Zinke created about big-game hunting, then packed with rich "trophy" hunters, NRA members, Trump associates, etc.?

The Fish & Wildlife Service recently posted 16,000+ pages about it:

fws.gov/irm/bpim/foiai…

#FOIA
While it's great that all this material is now available, a document dump like this means that the important bits are buried.

Hopefully animal rights activists and organizations will dig into this mountain.
Be sure to read the AP's deep dig into the people Zinke appointed to this board:

apnews.com/07c11b7884174e…

It's insane. "One appointee co-owns a private New York hunting preserve with Trump’s adult sons."

#FOIA: "The federal government has issued more than three dozen permits allowing hunters to import lion trophies from two African nations since 2016, according to copies of the applications obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request."

huffingtonpost.com/entry/lion-tro…
"While the FWS [Fish & Wildlife Service] used to make its determinations about animal trophy permits public, new guidelines mandate interested parties file Freedom of Information Act requests to see the details of each application"
More info about who got those permits is here:

friendsofanimals.org/news/u-s-hunte…

"The permits show that the current administration, not only has loosened restrictions on lion hunting, but is rewarding supporters."

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

President and Mrs. Trump are dining at the Trump Hotel DC right now.
It’s a 7:41 drive from the White House to the Trump Hotel DC (with a motorcade; slower for you).
