My neighbor thinks 2A is more important than my child's life. Literally, not figuratively.How can I build a bridge to that!? Tell me, Mr. President.
Listen? I DID listen and I found out that his bigotry, hate & racism are deeper than I thought. He thinks democracy is overrated.
Tell me what to do.

Sorry but the world has not always envied the US. Sure, we love cola, mcdonalds, cheap Levis, movies and the old cars, but at will employment laws, incarceration rate, institutionalised racism, maternal mortality, education, wealth disparity, no universal health etc, no envy there.

How refreshing it is to hear a public figure think before they speak. And w/ Obama that is quite clearly evident (even though it results in some mockery for his halting speech sometimes).

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

It is not okay to find a black man hanging from a tree with two broken legs and burses on his body, was suicide? This is a good accounting of what is wrong with U.S. especially the hate towards people of difference. Hate crime, making it not safe for people of difference. Inequality is real.

At some point folks have to understand that the problem isn't Dems not using the right tone or whether they're too angry/not angry enough. It's the fact that there's a double standard at play that is almost precisely designed so Dems cannot win no matter how blunt or euphemistic they are in any case

The order for the NPS to remove the image of "Peter," reminds me of Col. Orlando Brown's response in 1866 to a question posed to him by a congressman re: any lingering ill-will toward the freedmen in Richmond. He replied that white people were not inclined "to forgive the negro for being free."

Our CDC and critical public health agencies are no longer reliable sources of information on vaccines.
No state should be listening to their recommendations against lifesaving immunizations. Doing so will cause great harm.
No foreign nation should look to the US right now as a model. We’re a joke
