Women launch ‘White Nonsense Roundup’ to unburden people of color
Racial strife has exploded in America once again. Two Washington state women believe ‘White Nonsense Roundup’ could play a part in educating and healing.
If you are a Person of Color (POC), you have enough on your plate! It’s not your job to educate white people about privilege, racism, and what’s really going on in the world. If a white person is filling your social media with white nonsense – anything from overt racism to well-intentioned problematic statements – tag us and a white person will come roundup our own. We welcome your involvement, resource suggestions, and will take your feedback seriously. We are also happy to boost the signal of voices of color.

GOP Rep. Steve King: Western Christians Have Done More for the World Than Any “Subgroup”
Confederate flag-lovin’ GOP rep Steve King, just a little bit ago over on East Fourth during a live interview with Chris Hayes on MSNBC, dropped this bit of explicit language on the subtext of what many feel like is going on inside the arena: The civilizations of Western and Eastern Europe have done more for the world than any “subgroup,” by which of course he means white people.
The floored looks of the rest of the table alone are worth the price of admission.

Peter Thiel Tells GOP He’s Gay And That Trans Bathroom Debate Is ‘Distraction’
Billionaire tech mogul Peter Thiel got a rousing ovation when he declared he is gay during his speech at the Republican convention Thursday night even as he dismissed the debate over transgender bathroom use.
“When I was a kid, the great debate was about how to defeat the Soviet Union, and we won,” said Thiel, the founder of PayPal. “Now we are told that the great debate is about who gets to use which bathroom. This is a distraction from our real problems. Who cares?”

A Story About Charles Kinsey, My New (White) Neighbors, And The Racial Politics Of Calling The Police

Video Shows Unarmed Black Man Pleading With Arms Raised Before Getting Shot by Police
On Wednesday, WSVN aired a cell phone video reportedly taken moments before caregiver Charles Kinsey was shot by North Miami police. In it, Kinsey, who survived, can be seen lying on the ground with his hands raised, explaining that he and the autistic man he was assisting are unarmed.

After Kinsey was shot, they left him there bleeding without medical attention and cuffed him. The officers involved need to be fired, stripped of their pension and jailed. RIGHT THE FUCK NOW. Anything else is aiding and abetting attempted murder.

Trump Thinks Letting Women Work Is ‘Dangerous’
Trump attributed the failure of his marriage to Ivana Trump to her coming to work at Trump Castle Casino, saying, “I think that putting a wife to work is a very dangerous thing.”
Ivana would get angry at somebody over the telephone, …she’d start shouting. And I’d say, “I don’t want my wife shouting at somebody like that, I really don’t want that.”
And a softness disappeared. There was a great softness to Ivana, and she still has that softness, but during this period of time, she became an executive not a wife.

The astounding carelessness of Trump
Here’s the thing: Plagiarism means borrowing words that aren’t yours. It doesn’t matter whether that’s 1 percent of the words or 99 percent of the words. Unless you say “And, in the words of ___________” you can’t use someone else’s words. It’s that simple.

Periods For Pence Has Come Back With A Vengeance | Bustle
Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump announced Friday morning on Twitter that Indiana Gov. Mike Pence would be his running mate in the 2016 presidential election. Pence has been at the center of some nightmarish anti-abortion legislation in Indiana. In April, he signed a bill forcing women to disclose their reasons for terminating a pregnancy and criminalizing doctors who provided the service, which prompted women around the state to call his office and report on their periods since the governor was so concerned with their private matters.

Police Say Tasering 8-Year-Old Native American Girl Was Justified – Counter Current News
The mother of an 8-year-old Native American girl is suing police who maintain that they were justified in using a taser on the child.
Within seconds,” the officer’s electroshock weapon discharged snares into the chest of the 70-pound girl, the lawsuit reads. “The force of the electricity shot through her body, lifted her, and threw her against a wall. After the officers had stunned (the girl) into high voltage submission, they pulled the fish-hook like Taser darts from her chest, gave her emergency medical attention, bandaged the holes left by the razor-sharp hooks, and called the ambulance.”
Attorney Dana Hanna recounts the incident, saying that the “four trained police officers surrounding a 70-pound, 8-year-old Indian girl,” should have used tactics that were less violent and not so risky to the young girl’s health and possibly life. “She had a kitchen paring knife, but hadn’t cut. She was a kid throwing a tantrum. They should have made an attempt to grab the kid, not use a weapon to throw her into a wall. A Taser’s not meant to kill, but it does kill. Many people have died after being hit by a Taser by cops. It never should be used on a little child. She certainly wasn’t presenting a danger to officers.”
The girl’s father, Bobby Jones added, “I don’t fault for the police being there because they were called. They were there. But what happened while they were there is why I’m upset,” in an early interview he did with local KSFY.

Grrrrrrrrrr.
One, who the F called the cops over a tantrum? That person should have been charged!
Two, the officers should be facing jail-time for the unnecessary violence and should lose their badges for using piss poor judgement and acting like a militia instead of a force sworn to protect the public..
