A New York Times report about an early draft letter that Donald Trump and aide Stephen Miller allegedly wrote to justify the firing of former FBI Director James Comey could have legal consequences for Vice President Mike Pence, some legal experts say.

Seattle teacher Jesse Hagopian was on his way home during Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2015. After he gave his speech he called his mother while crossing the street when the police officer Sandra DeLaFuente pepper sprayed him and the other pedestrians.
Luckily, the incident was caught on video.
“I was hit in the face with pepper spray — burning my ear, my mouth, and my eyes,” Hagopian said at a press conference with representatives of the King County NAACP. “The pain was excruciating. I spent the entire birthday party pouring milk on my face — frightening my kids, not sure what to tell them.”
Hagopian received $100,000 settlement but is not gonna keep it.
“I did reach a settlement with the City of Seattle for $100,000,” he said. “But I want it to be clear that $100,000 is not justice. The office of professional accountability did rule in my favor. It did say that this officer violated policy and should face a suspension — a one-day suspension.”
He decided to give the money to Black Lives Matter organization.
“I was peacefully raising my voice for justice on Martin Luther King Day last year,” he said. “I gave the final rally speech at the main event that I called out people who pretend to celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King and then disparage the Black Lives Matter movement — as if he wouldn’t be in the streets supporting it. As if he hadn’t been arrested over 40 times in the struggle for racial, economic and social justice. Apparently, not all the police officers liked that speech.”
William Shakespeare was a bisexual kid from a town a hundred miles outside London with the equivalent of a high school education who knocked up a 26-year-old out of wedlock when he was 18 and he wrote 37 plays and 154 sonnets that changed the English language and the nature of Western drama and theater and if that isn’t an argument against elitism and a culture of constant perfectionism I don’t know what is
me: tomorrow’s going to be my day. i’m going to get up early and go to the farmer’s market. then i’m going to drink some tea and read a book. then i’m going to make sure all my bills are paid. then i’m….
I really fucking love Shortfin Mako sharks, okay. They’re the fastest sharks and the best at lunging the fuck right out of the water. they’re also warm-blooded and super smart, but most importantly every image of them breaching looks like someone just photoshopped a shark into the sky really badly
isnt it weird that we cant ride any other animals except horses. like if horses weren’t a thing humans would be fucked cause we couldn’t ride any other animals. like riding animals just wouldn’t really be a thing. we should probably be more grateful to horses
A new national survey is offering hope for American kids waiting to be adopted: More people than ever are becoming parents in nonbiological ways, according to a new report.
if you’re white. being,,,not straight ,,does not give you a “poc card”. i think a lot of you think it does. like being ,,not straight,,does not mean you can seperate yourself from other white people.
saying “you are a burden on society” is just such a weird framing of priorities
It’s like saying “wow, think how much better gas mileage your car would get if you weren’t sitting in it” or “think how dry that umbrella would be if you weren’t holding it in between you and the rainstorm”.
the things we create? they’re for us. they are meant to carry us. they are meant to protect us. we are meant to hold them up to keep us dry.
Johnny Cash’s first wife was black. Totally erased in the movie.
the Man In Black was not having your racist bullshit, and his children won’t let you piss on his grave.
I just
He’s the Man in Black. He was a vocal proponent of prison reform and prison rights. Half of his catalog is social justice. Why do you think he toured PRISONS it wasn’t just Folsom!
Johnny Cash was Punk As Fuck
Man In Black by Johnny Cash. Johnny Cash always wore black clothes, and he wrote this song to help explain why: “I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down, livin’ in the hopeless, hungry side of town, I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime, but is there because he’s a victim of the times.”
Good choice for a legislature Missouri. top notch. so proud
Missouri State Representative Warren Love is backpedaling after he posted, then deleted, a horribly offensive Facebook post in which he said that he hoped those vandalizing Confederate statue be lynched to death. This comes, of course, weeks after neo-Nazis descended upon Charlottesville, Virginia to defend…
