Absolutely. There has to be a line, and there have to be consequences when that line is crossed. That's the only way some people learn.

@ScottSoCal @Jaden2 let me quote Nelson Mandela and his decision to resort to acts of sabotage aimed at power plants, military facilities etc that would cripple the apartheid government.
"At the beginning of June 1961.. I, and some colleagues, came to the conclusion that as violence in this country was inevitable, it would be unrealistic and wrong for African leaders to continue preaching peace and non-violence at a time when the government met our peaceful demands with force."

Lou loved his job but if he had a nickel for every time someone asked if he was "monitoring the situation" he would never have to pay for another rat dinner.

I speak from the perspective of a white person, so taking that into account...
Malcolm X was the stick and MLK was the carrot. MLK wanted to discuss, reason, come together to find a way. Malcolm wanted to fuck shit up. That's how it's always been presented to me.

They were both necessary, each in their own way, and what progress there's been (not enough) was only possible because both were there. One as a promise, the other as a threat.

Ordered a bacon cheeseburger from a local restaurant yesterday to celebrate over 10 million new small business applications during my presidency.

I may’ve caught Brittany off guard.

Hey, I just wrote an article on Medium. It's about being trans. I'm sure you never could've guessed. #trans #lgbtq #relationships #lgbt #writer

Little known fact: It’s called a β€œcat 3” storm because the damage is equivalent to the work done by 3 cats left alone for 1 hour.

BREAKING: I am calling upon the Federal Election Commission to investigate George Santos.

There is reason to suspect an illicit flow of campaign dollars through various pass-throughs into the pockets of the #GeorgeSantos campaign.

We need the truth.

Hmm, wonder why Fox News just can't stop harping on Secretary Pete Buttigieg's paternity leave...πŸ€”

Chasten's response to the faux controversy had me cackling, see for yourself here: comicsands.com/chasten-buttigi

@ScottSoCal @Coachmark You youngsters #LOL My collections go from 1914, WW ditties, Tin Pan Alley, Al Jolson, Billie Murray, to about 2021.. And fewer each year since. I try to keep a few popular hits from each year along the way. I still have them crammed on MP3 Data CDs, my Truck doesn't have input ports.
I was also a DJ, so most of the music after 90s is Dance Music of one genre or another.
And I play 7 #heardle every morning. halifaxsocial.ca/@Rasta/109709
Wanna play? I've a lot of music

The right wants us to think there is an equivalence between the Trump and Biden documents stories.

The truth is, they're not even close, as Rep. Dan Goldman made clear in his excellent Twitter clapback to Jim Jordan: comicsands.com/jordan-dan-gold

It's not The Onion, just the Texas Legislature.

SB 471 would fine Texans for making complaints about ongoing pollution to the state agency that regulates pollution. Their mission: "Protecting Texas by reducing and preventing pollution."

Compliments of an elected official who receives legal bribes from oil and gas.

But what he heard was "You can be everything you want." His mother should have enunciated better.

@waldenecovillage
People don't want to think about homelessness because, at least in the US, many are 1, possibly 2, paychecks away from it themselves. Even homeowners can face it. And it's scary as hell.
