Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.
Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win
How's your non-violent working Mr Gandhi stancil? They will kill each and everyone of you right if they had the chance and you will still be writing Kumbaya.

And now we know who said it.
To be brutally candid, due to the proactive cancellation of this grant, $20 million of hardworking U.S. tax dollars are currently sitting in the U.S. treasury instead of swept into the Kuskokwim River,” EPA press secretary Brigit Hirsch said.

We have been made aware of a group of people going door-to-door looking for Spanish speakers, ostensibly for a church group, but quite possibly to inform for ICE.

No British person should ever, a single day on god’s green earth, disparage anybody’s food. Literally ever. Never seen a seasoning you wouldn’t steal for but never use. Please sit down with your peas and mash and chew silently.

When the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 in the Brown v Board case in 1954, President Eisenhower was not fully in support of the decision. Nevertheless, he understood his duty, and said "The Supreme Court has spoken and I am sworn to uphold the constitutional processes in this country, and I will obey.”
