I am a lawyer, as you know, and we have a constitution and what's happening in Minnesota is wrong. There's no shades of gray. It's clear. (Team USA Curler Rich Ruohonen) (cdn.social.linux.pizza)

It's also ok to NOT support your country when they have a history of this exact thing.

If you have been non-white in the last, oh, 200+ years of this countries existence, then you've been dealing with this exact thing your entire life. Just white folks generally didn't care about it until white people started getting killed.

When and if we fix this thing, it needs to be fixed for ALL the people in the US, not just rich white folk. And that's a tall fucking order from a country that has literally dropped bombs on black people's homes and forced them to at gunpoint to burn to death in the building.
