Alaska Says It’s Now Legal “in Some Instances” to Discriminate Against LGBTQ Individuals
--
On the advice of the state’s attorney general, Alaska’s civil rights agency quietly deleted language promising equal protections for LGBTQ Alaskans against most categories of discrimination, and it began refusing to investigate complaints.

Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams maligns Black people as “a racist hate group.”

Lemme get this straight: White people in power kidnapped, trafficked, raped, & enslaved Black people for 300 years, subjected Black people to Jim Crow for another 100 years, subjected Black people to mass incarceration & the war on drugs for another 60 years, paid $0 reparations ever—& Adams feels HE’S the victim?

Reminds me of that old saying—When you’ve had privilege your whole life, equality feels like oppression.

The Onion has been so damn impressive for so damn long.

It’s not easy to do what they do that well for that long. Kudos.

Today is the Day of Remembrance for the Japanese American community. 81 years ago today, when I was just a boy of four, FDR signed Executive Order 9066, setting in motion the evacuation of people of Japanese descent from the West Coast and our long years of internment inside ten barbed wire prison camps.

We must never let such a thing happen again in America, and and we must strive everywhere to prevent the forced relocation and mass incarceration of innocent people. #NeverForget #NeverAgain
