here's a thought. the government shouldn't have the right to execute anyone

[marlbororeds100s-deactivated202]

it's obvious that the death penalty allows for police and politicians to not just disproportionately lock up but literally murder people of color, especially black men. and it's obvious that there are tons of flaws in our judicial system and how cases are handled by the police and in courts, and that again people of color experience those flaws much more frequently and at worse degrees. and even from an economic perspective choosing to executing 1 person costs more than sentencing them to life in prison (which i don't support either btw).

but even without all this, the government should not have the right to fucking kill people, whether or not they committed a crime. even if that crime was murder. the united states is one of 53 countries that still practice the death penalty.

like i just don't understand how this is a debate. it's an archaic and barbaric practice that shouldn't fucking exist

Friendly PSA to non-Jews:

Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown on Sunday, September 29th and lasts through sundown Tuesday, October 1st.

Yom Kippur begins at sundown on Tuesday, October 8th and lasts until Wednesday night, October 9th.

During these days, please be thoughtful of those who observe them by not scheduling meetings, conference calls, or deadlines. For teachers, please do not schedule tests, presentations, or other mandatory activities. And remember that many of us host family and/or other guests for these holidays.

For those who celebrate Christmas, imagine if everyone wanted something from you between the mornings of December 24th and December 26th while you had multiple things cooking, preparations to be in services, and family and friends coming over.

Be thoughtful, kind, and inclusive.

And greetings: “Happy New Year” is appropriate to say on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. “Have an easy fast” is appropriate to say on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement when Jews traditionally fast for 25 hours.

Thank you!!

Being shortsighted isn’t a good look.

1972 - Bernie wrote a letter in support of abolishing all laws dealing with abortion, sexual behavior (adultery, homosexuality, etc.), and drugs

1983 - Sanders signed the first proclamation to create the first Gay & Lesbian Pride Day in Burlington, VT

1985 - Burlington passes proclamation protecting LGBTQ people from housing and employment discrimination

1993 - When Congress members attacked non-discrimination in DC, Sanders voted “no”

1993 - Voted “no” on ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’

1995 - Sanders rebuked Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham for using the word “homos” when talking about gay people in the military

1996 - Voted against the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)

1999 - When Congress tried to keep domestic partners from adopting children in DC, Sanders voted “no”

2001 - When Congress tried to keep domestic partners from receiving health benefits, Sanders challenged it

2004 - Voted against the constitutional amendment banning gay marriage

2007 - Voted to expand and strengthen penalties for violent crimes committed in the basis of sexual orientation

2009 - Voted to expand federal hate crimes to cover offenses motivated by gender identity and sexual orientation

2009 - Supported Vermont’s first-in-the-country law legalizing gay marriage

2010 - Voted to overturn “don’t ask, don’t tell”

2011 - Called on President Obama to support marriage equality

2013 - Co-sponsored the Employment Non-Discrimination Act

2013 - Co-sponsored the United Families Act to allow LGBTQ Americans to bring their partners to the Us

2014 - Co-sponsored the International Human Rights Defense Act

2015 - Co-sponsored Civil Rights to include sexual orientation and gender identity protected categories

2016 - Co-sponsored Bill to designate June 26, 2016 as LGBTQ Equality Day

2016 - Bernie condemned conversion therapy

2017 - Co-sponsored the Every Child Deserves a Family Act which prohibits foster care entities from receiving federal assistance if they discriminate against prospective LGBTQ parents

2018 - Committed to passing the Equality Act

2019 - Has proposed a comprehensive housing plan that addresses societal homelessness, which disproportionately impacts the LGBTQ community

2019 - Committed to advancing policies that ensure fair treatment for transgender people who are targeted by police unfairly

But yeah, Bernie Sanders “skipping” a forum on LGBTQ rights to host campaign rallies is breaking news

This is the exact same propaganda that got spread to get people to not vote for Hillary. Don’t buy into it and start thinking people like Bernie or Warren are bad choices because they’re still the best options for your votes right now

Talking about unresolvable bad blood, it’s very important to me that some members of the fellowship actually don’t get along and just never will. I get the desire to manufacture rad friendship dynamics between very different people but you’ve also gotta have a few motherfuckers that a character can’t stand so that the actual ‘surprising’ friendships have a contrast to them to make them more impactful. Not only that, it emphasises the kind of strange camaraderie that the Fellowship represents, they’re all working towards a common goal and sure Legolas will risk his life for Boromir but… a conversation? You couldn’t pay him to try… It also just makes everything WAY funnier too.

This ok, this is where the magic is.
