Minerva @ Midnight: don't defund police, reduce the domestic military force occupying our country

Minerva @ Midnight: April Fools – Baylor U. conservatives think slavery was good
Change as a rising tide seems to be falling short as history’s stream is not as mighty. Apparently slavery is still “ordained by God for ultimate good” at Baylor University, as a RW campus group wants […]
everybody's not kung-fu fighting, as Ook and Gluk get 86'd for 'passive racism' (whatever that is)
