@jdorenicole @BetteMidler The original tweet was a quote from an 60s anti-war song by Yoko Ono & John Lennon, obviously not well remember today. At the time, it was a feminist statement not meant to be racist. Yoko, after all, was on the receiving end of a lot of racism because she was Japanese.

@stephbriggsuk @Freedom22BB @CarloCoyote @runafjord As was Shere Hite's work on female sexuality. Indeed, she was driven from America & ended up in Germany! She had the temerity to ask women about their sexuality & many American men hated her for it.

@Adamlill @crazykarens I don't care how she dresses. I don't care how eccentric or strait-laced someone is. What this illustrated more than anything else is that if you're white, you don't need to cooperate with the police to avoid being shot dead within minutes of your encounter with them.

@RyanGirdusky The left DOES NOT object to ID. Name a state where ID is NOT required to register to vote. The difference is blue states work to make legitimate voting easier for everyone, while red states work to make it much more difficult for certain groups of legitimate voters to vote.

@ashtonpittman Favre says he didn't know the funds were illegal, but he accepted $1.1M for speaking engagements without providing that service. How does someone take that kind of money for services not performed & NOT know there's something illegal about the scheme?

Trump hates the "little guy" as evidenced by how many of them he put out of business when he was pretending to be a businessman. Now that he's pretending to be president...

@BansheeAutoPart @kniggej @Benjaminknorr79 Unfortunately, far too many in our incredibly privileged society think about their "rights" but never about our collective responsibilities. Republicans & Faux News have ensured that any conservatively minded individuals have forgotten that part of our social contract.

@TwitterMoments Why would anyone choose Madonna to pay tribute to Aretha? WTF? Madonna is a narcissistic hack who has somehow convinced a lot of people that she has talent. Aretha, on the other hand, was an incredibly talented musician & inspiration to many. Aretha deserved better!

@AngrierWHStaff Bernie also endorsed Biden when he announced he was withdrawing from the race. Bernie is not the enemy. I'd prefer to vote for him or Warren. Biden is not the enemy. I'll vote for him over tRump any day. tRump is the enemy within and a clear and present danger.

@ULTRA_MAJESTY So, gangsters love tRump & you think that's a good thing? Republicans couldn't support a law-abiding black man for president, but they think it's a real coup to get black "gangsters back in the hood" supporting tRump - a man who wouldn't rent his apartments to black people!

@MimawMoon Yes! And don't forget bell hooks! Decades of patriarchal backlash have convinced young women that being a 'feminist' is bad. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Nothing could be more important right now than reawakening the feminist movement!

The Republican Plan To Devastate Public Education in America

Conservatives talk about “school choice.” What they really want, though, will result in the end of public education for the poor, and disfavored minorities like LGBT people.
