I agree. The King verdict had a definite impact on the OJ verdict, and the OJ verdict has had a lingering effect on many white Americans to the detriment of PoC.

Of course there are distinctions. The main point is that "not guilty" ≠ "innocent of the crime they have been accused of".

I would say yes. Going through another Republican Speaker and the ensuing chaos of finding another one who will appeal to both moderate and far right Republicans will make them look fractured and no...

Agreed. I'm prepared to answer responses to the possible outcome of 'not guilty' being seen as a vindication for Trump with "Yep! He's innocent, just like OJ!"

I've been interested in reading the first series, but the issues have proven difficult to find locally. The TPB is in this month's Previews.

I think a lot of parents see the 'my' in 'my child' as proprietary, not relational. As if children are chattel. I think we see this more in conservative parents and has deep roots in religion.

From your link:

Sure. And people of color should also resent other PoC who are committing crimes rather than police for the gross disparities in the criminal justice system.

Well, I guess when FOX can't keep arguing about how bad things are, they gotta say they're 'too' good. The alternative would be to imply that Biden is actually doing a good job, and we can't have...

So, does anybody know how much Trump's net worth goes down for every dollar that DJT loses? Seems to me like it's gotta be around $150M (just a guess, really).

Not getting those extended child tax credits has caused many to seek other sources of income, I imagine.

Your story states that the 8.7 million is the highest since pre-pandemic. Can you direct...

Ideally, the penalty should ALWAYS exceed the level of money illegally gained through the crime, or else the crime was still profitable. The amount that it exceeds the illegal gain should be enough...

To be fair, the bill does not actually mention chemtrails and seems to pertain only to the practice of using chemicals or substances to affect the weather. This would include practices like cloud...

I honestly don't see how DeSantis sees this as a win! Is it that teachers won't be able to indoctrinate children and teach them how to be gay under the settlement (something that was never actually...

I'm sure, as the article states, that it has nothing to do with saving money for Trump's legal fees.

I can accept that. I should have phrased it that the percent of civilian deaths vs combatants has gone up (anecdotal examples aside). We also possess weapons which can more accurately find their...

Good point. There will always be religious extremists who use that as a rational to attack Israel. It is hard to navigate that line between defending oneself and violating the rights of those that...

Is there no end to their sycophancy?

Where is the disconnect. Seems like both are justifying what is being done to "A" because of what "B" did.

Agreed. Does that make it OK to beat the child?

By both sides, do you mean that every Palestinian deserves such treatment because there are some in Gaza who committed atrocities? If a mass murderer runs into an apartment building, do we bomb the...

Isn't demanding that Hamas surrender before Israel will stop committing human rights abuses doing just that? It sounds like a variation on the abusive spouse narrative: "Sorry, kid, I have to beat...

Does the 50+ years of unlawful killings through rampant use of excessive force, forced displacement, abusive detention, restrictions on movement, and discriminatory policies also end if Hamas...

That's good to hear.

Haven't seen anything from worstblogever in a while. Anyone know what's up with him?
