    "We are not a government. We do not need to be neutral. The feeling that we are making the tough, right call by remaining neutral is wrong. Our inaction is suppressing voices - disabling conversation," wrote Twitter engineer Jared Gaut.

    Nope

    I'm going to make a prediction that may be naive and might be proven wrong soon enough. But I honestly believe that if a tape of the President saying the n-word is made public, he will be forced to resign or at a minimum not run for reelection.

    DC already made exceptions. Gave them a segregated train car and huge private police escort. The entitlement is nearly endless.

    organizer Jason Kessler crying because he can't take 5-foot long wooden flag poles into a protest is peak Nazi, man. 🤣🤣🤣 "Can't you make an exception for us?" LOLOL

    NPR this morning, perhaps trying to outdo themselves from Kessler interview, ran what was essentially a recruitment segment for US Border Patrol, interviewing an agent raving about the “amazing feeling” of tracking & “apprehending” other humans. No immigrant families were quoted

    So Metro went through with their "separate train cars for white nationalists" idea. Amazing.

    So the last car on this Metro is apparently for white nationalists only. Press were barred.

    Media history every journalist should know, from : In the 1920s, newspaper investigations helped the KKK gain hundreds of thousands of members. The stories were intended to expose the Klan. Instead, they massively increased its membership.

    Yes Russia enslaved millions of Africans, invented Manifest Destiny, formed the Klan, built monuments to the Confederacy all over the US, built a system of racist policing & mass incarceration & passed a legacy of white supremacy down several generations. FBI must investigate

    Republican congressman says Russia helped fan flames of racial tension in Charlottesville.

    has been turned into a political football, with 15 years years of "debate" where none should/can exist: it is a crime, not a policy choice. Reading this chilling entry in the Gina CIA cables makes clear why: it is dehumanizing conduct intended to destroy a person
