Malcolm and Martin
“I’m for truth, no matter who tells it. I’m for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I’m a human being first and foremost, and as such I’m for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.”― Malcolm X
The Proof is in the Puddin’
“Bernie has baggage. He supports a trillion dollar boondoggle, the F-35 fighter/bomber, which cannot even match the performance of the previous bomber costing 80% less. (The definition of profiteering.) He is also supportive of drone strikes which are known to kill an average of fifty innocents per strike. He condones illegal settlement-building and attacks on Gaza by the IDF.”
Black Lives Matter…
“Race doesn’t really exist for you because it has never been a barrier. Black folks don’t have that choice.”
― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Americanah
Racism
I swear to the Lord
I still can’t see
Why Democracy means
Everybody but me.
~Langston Hughes

Police Reform is Long Overdue
“Police violence comes at “the intersections of intimate and social violence.”

Logic 101
“It turned out I was pretty good in science. But again, because of the small budget, in science class we couldn’t afford to do experiments in order to prove theories. We just believed everything. Actually, I think that class was called Religion. Religion class was always an easy class. All you had to do was suspend the logic and reasoning you were being taught in all the other classes.”
― George Carlin, Brain Droppings
Nobody Knows How Many People American Police Kill Each Year
“there’s no governmental effort at all to record the number of unjustifiable homicides by police”
Is Obama In Danger?
“Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other.”
― James Madison, The Letters of Pacificus and Helvidius (1845) with the Letters of Americanus
