Seeing Blue Lives Matter trending is so offensive. Has any murder of a police officer gone uninvestigated? Has anyone believed to have killed a police officer gone unindicted? Has anyone who killed a police officer been found not guilty because of an employment contract?
Has anyone said of a murdered police officer, oh well, he was wearing blue so he was asking for it? Has anyone said the cop deserved to be shot because he was disrespectful? Has shooting police become a crime with complete impunity.
When someone is convicted of killing police, do they get probation?

I want a multiverse where Trump sells Herb-a-Life
@Cajsa
How are people only now discovering Mike Bloomberg was Mr. Stop&Frisk? He was defending S&F in January 2019. What he thinks does not matter, the courts declared it unconstitutional. I am pretty sure he is as racist as the average white person. We are, after all, racist AF.
This means he recognizes racism is a problem but identifies it mostly as assholes shouting epithets while ignoring systemic racism. This is marginally better than saying racism is a distraction and if we only made white people more economically secure they would be less racist.
I just think it is worse to actually acknowledge systemic racism and decide you really can't address it because it offends the voters you fetishize. Someone who does not perceive systemic racism can be educated. The other knows, and shrugs.

Government always gets the blame. In December, the power company sent out some workers to replace this transformer junction that is buried underground right outside my apartment. They worked a few days, covered it with wood, and took off for Christmas, etc.
Finally the day after MLK Day, they came back. They worked three hours. Then they left a piece of wood covering everything. Another long hiatus. Last Thursday, they came out and finally filled it all in and replaced the dirt, the and landscaping. When they finished, they walked
around, putting a power outage notice on every door saying the power would be out today. So, at 8 AM they began digging back down and uncovering that hole they covered up on Thursday. Yes, undoing everything they did on Thursday

Chuck Rocha on @AMJoy talking about how don't tell me who endorses, tell me when you showed up in my community. Bernie had 40 years to show up and he didn't. He didn't show up at all until he wanted their votes.
@amJoy Man, Chuck Rocha makes me think of a Republican, filibustering, talking too loud, too fast, and interrupting just saying whatever bullshit - unresponsive to questions because he's there to deliver his canned message regardless of what a tangle of misrepresentation and lies it is
@amJoy He talks as though Sanders has been there for the Black community forever instead of the truth, ending his interest in civil rights in 1963 and not being interested again until it cost him in 2016.

Black children grow up in war zones
*Please stop trying to downplay it*
We grow up seeing our friends and family killed every week * no disrespect to those that served* but we've(me included) seen our close friends head blown off .....we suffer from PTSD but get told to hush
It's not 2 weeks that go by where i dont hear a friend or associate or family member get shot or shot and killed ....think about that
If you have grown trained soldiers that suffer from emotional and mental issues due to war and losing or seeing a person in their squad killed ......how do you think children develop mentally and emotional after friends and other children and adults are killed in front of them

Democrat @neeratanden Praises China's 'Moral Compunction' in Opposing Trump pjmedia.com/trending/promi… #Trending via @pjmedia_com
To use the words "moral" and "China" in the same sentence is ignorant.
But Center for American Progress president Neera Tanden appears completely oblivious to the dichotomy of praising a country for their "moral compunction" while they lock up a million people for their religious beliefs.

But Neera is a left-wing nut, so she has an excuse.

@ashkenaz89 @lighttuponlight There are a few interlocking questions here.

Not all of the symbols here are fascist in the same way.

So why does the Thin Blue Line appear among them? How does it relate to them? And what does that have to do with racism?
@ashkenaz89 @lighttuponlight The Thin Blue Line is not fascist like, say, the Black Sun is fascist.

The Black Sun is an explicit reference to ideas and iconography from Nazi Germany; only an overt fascist would think to use it.

The Thin Blue Line is used by people who support police, in various senses.
@ashkenaz89 @lighttuponlight The Thin Blue Line is an expression which goes back at least to the 1950s and became well known because of a documentary of the same name in the late 1980s, but the flag is a symbol that has emerged just in the last several years.

(thread, cont.)

This is a continuation of a thread about radical white supremacist symbolism and language!

This portion mostly covers more recent alt-right signifiers-- you can find the classic, more capital-N nazi specific signifiers starting here:

Nothing says white supremacist alt-right like pepe the frog.

Pepe-- like a lot of alt-right symbolism-- is a "nazis are why we can't have nice things" internet casualty.

Originally an innocent cartoon character, he is now pretty much exclusively a white supremacist mascot.
A more recent and explicitly racist variant on Pepe, the Honkler, started popping up a few months ago.

There's a loooot going on with the Honkler.

His origin story is an 8chan "op" (more about "ops" down-thread) to turn a benign symbol- the rainbow- into a toxic, racist symbol.
