So remember when a bunch of people on this site came out and posted blogs in support of Black Lives Matter?
I posted mine on the 4th. That was three weeks ago.
Black Lives Matter still. They always have and always will. We need to keep saying it till everyone is treated like they do, truly, matter. What we really don't need to do is rest on our laurels, say, "I spoke up, that's enough," and move on with our lives because the hashtag stopped trending.
With Jon Stewart gone from the Daily Show, someone has to do it, right?
Candidates on both the left and right have been criticized for their declaration of those words — “All Lives Matter” — diminishing the goals of the Black Lives Matter movement, which is asking people to recognize that black lives are devalued by our criminal justice system. Ben Carson, however, told ThinkProgress this week he sees the whole movement as divisive.
In my last blog post, I said that I actively try to avoid posting overtly personal things on here. But that's the problem, isn't it? That mentality. "You shouldn't speak about certain things. Those things have a place and it isn't here."
But when you ignore something, you are implicitly approving of it. To be silent about an issue is to say that it is not worth speaking up about.
People's lives have weight. #Black Lives Matter is a thing because their lives are in more danger than others.
People who are protesting are good. People who are looting are bad. These are two groups and I don't have the patience to pretend they're not.

So, some guy was caught on camera apparently clearing up some illegal road block, that was seemingly constructed out of garbage.
That's nice. A good citizen, who cares about the local community. We need more people like this person.
I have worked on helping prostitutes for years. Although many police rape prostitutes (they extort free sex for not arresting, which is rape) and rob prostitutes (they extort money out of prostitutes for not arresting them, which is theft), but I always figured that these are bad apples. Indeed, I work with the former cop, Norma Jean Almodovar and a working police-officer —— ¡wild horses could not get me to divulge his name!

Do you have the time to listen to me whine about nothing and everything all at once?
I present to you now a thread in two parts. One was written by Daniel Angster at Media Matters. The other was written by me and teaches A MOST IMPORTANT LESSON.
