Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.

Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.

'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

i know the “what aesthetic/art style is this” comments are probably teenagers BUT the cultural shift towards everything needing to be a categorizable micro trend does irk me

if you like the concept of boycotting, follow what the NAACP is working on with the Black Consumer Advisory. Single day boycotts only make the individual feel good, if you want to see change it's going to be uncomfortable & take a long time. That's the gambit.

If you're freaked out, say "I'm freaking out." If you're scared, say "I'm scared." But quit with this "We're all doomed" shit. One of these is expressing your feelings and the other is telling everyone we should just give up now and no.

My latest: "The more often we have experienced true helplessness, the more likely we are to feel powerless in situations where action is possible. And the more we freeze or flail in response to threats, the more deeply ingrained those responses become."
