hey remember when Obama touched on a deep communal well of pain and recognition when he said “Trayvon could’ve been my son,” and the entire right-wing lost its shit about that comment for the next four years? hey remember when police unions were foaming at the mouth bcs his DOJ investigated police departments across the country & reported findings of rampant abuse & corruption? and characterized even small hard-won changes as “handcuffing us [the cops] instead of the criminals”? remember when most LEOs enthusiastically went for Trump (esp CBP)?

nobody is arguing that Obama was perfect or couldn’t have done better, but those of you arguing that he & Trump are the same - that their approaches and philosophy are at all comparable, that their impact on people’s lives & on the administration of justice is at all comparable, that there is no material difference between a DOJ that investigates police brutality / corruption & one that purposely enables it - are lying on purpose to excuse your white supremacist faves

I wish you cowards would just be honest about what you’re saying and why you’re saying it.

How clearly does the point need to be made that "police officer" is just a fucking job, one with minimal training and minimal monitoring. It is NOT some kind of promise of honesty, truth, or heroism. It is a bunch of assistant managers with extremely powerful weapons. IF you can understand "pedophiles choose to be priests and teachers so they can get to children", IF you understand "arsonists choose to be firefighters so they can be present at their own crimes" - then you can ALSO understand "people who are bigoted, violent, and power-hungry choose to be cops for the opportunities the job presents" and you can ALSO understand "any occupational culture that chooses fraternity over justice - and the allowance of violence in the name of a unified front - is therefore siding with their worst representatives"

the fact that time passes and things change and people leave and you can only go back to a place physically and you will never be 14 15 16 again………….. i don’t understand how we are meant to endure that

I keep hearing "A riot is the language of the unheard." from a lot of white people today and I'd like to know are you really unheard? What rights of yours are being violated as a matter of course? Why do you bring MLK's quote up in response to the people that say that the woman taking the fake display cake from the cheesecake factory probably isn't trying to honor George Floyd's memory or cares about justice for his murder?

Larry Kramer got compared a lot to the Old Testament prophets, not without reason. They were all visionary activists raging at systemic heartlessness. But prophets aren’t popular. They implicate you–the reader, the watcher, the voter–in the evils they see. They wonder aloud why you aren’t doing something, anything, to fix them.

But Kramer went further than the prophets did. He fought injustice directly, at immense cost to himself. He was uncivil, even brutal. The force of his righteous anger rattled his friendships and made him enemies. And his efforts saved many, many lives.

I will probably always have complicated feelings about Kramer. But I owe him the lives of many friends and acquaintances. Today I mourn a person whose like we will not see again.
