If you are a parent, and at any time you are tempted to contact your child's RA at college, resist that temptation with every single fiber of your being.
As a child, Harriet Tubman had her skull crushed in by a slave owner, was left w/o medical attention for 2 days, + then was returned to working the fields. She went on to rescue dozens of slaves + be the first woman to lead an armed assault during the CW.
There was a dude on Philly news a few years ago who rescued a child from a burning building by catching him and in his interview he was like “UNLIKE OUR SHITTY RECEIVERS I caught this baby”
Weirdo Christian Twitter is not a good lens onto how most Christians do things but it is funny how many men on here are told by God that they should have a hot wife who doesn’t work but also never asks for anything and is always sexually available, what a weirdly specific thing
The three people whose bodies were found in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains this month were two sisters and a teenage son who had decided to live “off the grid,” survive on canned food and shelter in a tent, the local coroner said on Tuesday.
Be less weird about politicians! Don’t fall in love with politicians! Treat politicians like offensive coordinators, scream at them until they do what you want and berate their every mistake!
1) In a scene that played out several times Monday, a Black Lives Matter protest that began in Columbia Heights confronted White diners outside D.C. restaurants, chanting “White silence is violence!” and demanding White diners show their solidarity.

This is a fascinating point that I notice among conservatives — that Democratic candidates should attempt to reach Republicans or conservatives, but there’s no real call, that I’ve seen, for conservatives to do the same.
To this day I can't tell if Rece had absolutely no idea what was going on or if he is the single greatest straight man in the history of college sports television
Harriet Tubman, a woman so tough that she had brain surgery in the 1890s when she was in her late 70s without the aid of sedation, choosing instead to bite down on a bullet.
BREAKING: When asked about the allegations that RFK Jr. sexually assualted his then 23 year old babysitter, his answer?
"I am not a church boy ... I said [there are] skeletons in my closet."
He then refused to comment.

The rumor that kicked off all the cat-eating nonsense is from a local FB group.
NewsGuard found the person who posted it: they heard it from a neighbor, who had heard it from “an acquaintance of a friend." This person heard it from an unnamed "source".
Sen. Tommy Tuberville, the junior Republican from Alabama, failed to properly disclose stock and stock-option trades together worth at least $894,000 and as much as $3.56 million.
This dude legitimately ran the entire SEC off the damn field for two years, won two national titles, all American, SEC freshman of the year, and he looks like the engineering dudes who always wore shorts in blizzards and played too much Settlers of Catan
A pregnant black woman defended herself with a legally owned (and unloaded) gun. Now she’s facing two years in prison, and mainstream gun groups are disturbingly quiet. My piece:
Happy birthday to Ruby Bridges, who desegregated William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans at age 6 in 1960. She inspired this Norman Rockwell painting, “The Problem We All Live With.”
FIFA President Gianni Infantino at news conference in Doha: “Today I feel Qatari. Today I feel Arab. Today I feel African. Today I feel gay. Today I feel disabled. Today I feel a migrant worker”
Just a general note that most colleges and universities don’t use affirmative action because most schools accept pretty much everyone who applies. Selective universities are a small slice of what “college” is in America.
I strongly recommend watching this video, and hearing a police officer scream at a child and then argue that she poses a threat to him, because it makes the case for removing police from schools far better than I can.
Farmington, NM police officer Zachary Christensen has resigned after video showed him roughing up a sixth grader. The officer denied he was using excessive force on the 11-year-old girl even after a school administrator told him she is not a threat to anyone.
This post doesn’t get into it but we seem to have collectively forgotten all of the efforts taken to get rid of places where teens hang out together, including “playing a special sound to drive away people under 25”
I don’t know who needs to know this but Katherine Johnson, subject of “Hidden Figures,” turned 101 this year and she and her husband, Jim Johnson, will have been married for sixty years as of this year.
"To be clear, I blame Larry Nassar and I also blame an entire system that enabled and perpetrated his abuse," Simone Biles gives her opening statement at a Senate hearing on the FBI's handling of the Larry Nassar investigation.
I’ve seen the argument going around that higher standards and overall police reform will make people not want to be police officers which raises a host of questions.
The rapid shift from "why is everyone an easily triggered snowflake participation trophy recipient" to "we gotta ban these books because my senior in high school had nightmares" is more indication that maybe the former was a bad faith operation all along
What you’re missing is “being a child.” You are nostalgic for childhood. You were a child and you miss that time. 1993 was not the height of human civilization. Go outside.

1. End qualified immunity.
2. Curtail the power of police unions
And here’s the toughest one:
3. We probably need fewer laws, in general.
A fun and amusing fact is that Americans were so underweight and malnourished during the Great Depression that it was a major concern for war readiness and actually led to the nationalization of a school lunch program.
God to women: you must do something you do not wish to do but you will do it on behalf of me

Open carry of long guns is entirely legal in Georgia according to state code so I couldn’t possibly imagine what Loeffler’s issue with Americans utilizing their Second Amendment rights could be.

@NRA
darling who champions gun rights for her white constituents - calls open carry by Black Americans “mob rule” and says it endangers civilians and law enforcement.
I have been long convinced that much of the "we stand with the police" rhetoric of the last year or so was largely based on the contingency that certain people would be policed and certain people wouldn't and absolutely nothing has taken place to disabuse me of that belief.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) says in a press release he is proposing an amendment to block Democrats' push to rename military bases named after Confederate generals. Says it "smacks of the cancel culture the Left wants to impose on the nation"
Bernie Madoff is reportedly dead. natural causes. I can vividly recall the moment the news broke about his Ponzi scheme. One of those rare-ish stories where your jaw just drops further and futher and you read back to check and make sure the numbers they listed aren’t typos.
I like when Philadelphia sports do well because the fans of Philadelphia sports franchises all seem like they are barely hanging on to the loosest tether of sanity, and I understand that
JD Vance went on a podcast called “Viva Frei” and said that we are currently in an internal battle that is a continuation of the civil war and he is on the side of the south. Couldn’t be more on the nose if a Hollywood lib spoofed it.

This took place in Sacramento in March of this year. The man was told that there was a felony warrant out for his arrest. There wasn’t. They had the wrong person.
