You know what else is "political violence"?

Every poor Black person sitting in a cage because they can't afford bail.

Every trans person forced into a men's prison so they can be sexually assaulted.

Every person who dies because they can't afford healthcare.

Every child who goes to bed hungry.

I want one 'christian' to explain to me why their god is protecting a convicted felon who rapes kids but allows innocent kids to be murdered in classrooms.
John Fugelsang had this good advice for us:
"Live your life so thatif *you* face
multiple assassination attempts;
millions of people,
right, left and center,
won't all simultaneously tweet
that it was staged."

OK, so I'm #NowWatching #HiddenFigures and it's really tough going.

The story is great, the acting is wonderful, the photography brilliant, etc.

The blatant #racism makes me deeply angry.

I know it's a movie, but to know that the attitudes on display were real, and in many (too damned many) cases still are, is triggering. This old white male, steeped in unearned #privilege, has to keep pausing to take a deep breath.

Okay but, is it… meant to look like that?

Huge relief as America's no. 1 rapist, paedophile, and war criminal survives another shooting

Americans sighed in relief after their most popular rapist, paedophile, and war criminal survived a shooting at the White House Correspondent’s dinner, last night. The assassin shot and injured a police officer, but thankfully no rich people were harmed in this production, and I’m told that Trump’s ears were unscathed. Thank god.

Dr Apocalypse: The Nobel Prize for Illegal Human Experimentation. What? They don't have a Nobel Prize for that? They should, and I deserve it!

Pyromania: To burn all the people who aren't real.

Hellhound: Money. That's it, really.
