I could go into a long pedagogical dissertation about allostatic loads or adverse childhood experiences but why complicate a simple premise. I will let the fear of a little girl speak for me: The above incident took place in upstate New York, in an area I lived near for three years in the early part…

Why are peace protestors not surrounding Fox News? They push the propaganda that incites violence.
Why is Faux Fake news not being brought to heel with chanting and pushing the truth of BLM? Fox indeed does carry the water for Trump. They carry the water for racists. Fox promotes division and hate. Protestors missed the mark with CNN and should have protested Fox. They should at least occupy for 8…
New Der Spiegel cover tells you exactly what the world thinks of Trump
Hoo-boy. Guess Germans think things have gotten a little out of hand over here in Universal Studios’ Cautionary Tale Land. Der Feuerteufel – Ein Präsident setzt sein Land in Brand. Der neue SPIEGEL ist jetzt online – und ab morgen am Kiosk: https://t.co/jMJCX8fmLO pic.twitter.com/oRp1xUht9s — DER SPIEGEL (@derspiegel) June 5, 2020 Here’s a screen grab…
Should Drew Brees Just Shut Up and Hand-off?
Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, on the heels of the Colin Kaepernick kneeling episode, commented in 2018 on the opinions of basketball players, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant. Both Durant and James commented harshly and profanely about the leadership of President Trump, to which Ingraham famously said, “ shut up and dribble.” Two years later on…
Green Bay Packers: 'Enough is enough: It is time for change'
Being from Wisconsin, I’ve been a fan of the Green Bay Packers most of my life. Starting at the age of 8, I’ve followed the team — with varying degrees of enthusiasm — since the ‘70s. I watched them win Super Bowl XXXI and Super Bowl XLV, but I’ve never been more proud of them…
My first experience with Police Brutality on a POC and it affected me. I was 16.
There are many people angry and hurt and I get that greatly ! I have been angry for a long long time about Police brutality. I have witnessed it for years in different situations but the first one affected me so much that I fought back and was only 16. I was working at the…
White House adviser says Trump's racist tweets were meant to 'deescalate' violence
Remember this horrible, horrible pig-feces-lagoon of a tweet from three days ago in which the actual president of the United States suggested protesters should be shot by the police and/or the government because, unlike the protesters carrying assault weapons to state capitols to fight for their right to eat an entire Chili’s Awesome Blossom in one…
George Floyd's brother on Trump's condolence call: 'He didn't give me the opportunity to even speak'
Since Donald Trump is about as soothing as a ghost pepper enema, this is no surprise. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be outraged. The Rev. Al Sharpton interviewed George Floyd’s brother Philonise on MSNBC earlier today, and guess what? Trump flubbed his condolence call, coming off as neither empathetic nor particularly interested. I know….
Chicago mayor Lightfoot's response to Trump's latest tweets 'begins with F and ends with You'
After Donald Trump peeled back another layer of decaying orange face rind last night to reveal still more maggots underneath, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot apparently decided enough was enough. In case you missed it, Trump tweeted this about the riots that have erupted in response to the killing of George Floyd at the hands of…
Laura Ingraham consoles Black people by saying law enforcement treated Trump horribly, too
Yup. Exactly the same. A Black man getting his throat crushed by a cop is exactly the same thing as the FBI investigating a presidential candidate’s numerous sketchy ties to — and lies about — Russia during and after an election in which Vladimir Putin clearly worked to help elect that candidate. Exactly the same. Ingraham: To…
Barr: Don't protest cops or you might find yourself without police protection
Does Bill Barr have to sound like a mobster every time he talks? This is a nice community you have. It would be a shame if someone wrecked it. The Washington Post: “Today, the American people have to focus on something else, which is the sacrifice and the service that is given by our law…
Modern Day Vigilantes: Stop And ‘Risk’
The evolution of change is usually the result of slow transformation; the wheel led to wagons; the wagons led to cars, cars led to rockets and rockets led to video games. The announcement of Michael Bloomberg into the race for the Democratic nomination for President will inevitably stir some issues in the African American community…
Great boycott you got there, shoe burners! Nike online sales just skyrocketed 31%
Nike is a multi-billion dollar brand that dominates the global sportswear market. Naturally, they hire the best marketing executives in the business. They knew exactly what they were doing when they decided to promote the hell out of Colin Kaepernick. Their research showed three things that we liberals have known for quite some time: Opposing Trump is a winning strategy People…
