Relics and monuments of the #Confederacy belong in museums, not in front of courthouses and city hall, but nevertheless a persistent reminder to future generations of the costs of injustice. Well some of them. Some I’ve seen are ugly as fuck and should just be destroyed for sure.
We should never forget the past, but must move forward with lessons learned…and that sometimes means purging old memories from view, the message received, our evolution already part of our history, a permanent, cautionary record of our more primitive roots.
Why does this keep happening? Because the cops think they will get away with it. They see it happening over and over, and most times the guilty cops never pay for their actions. They figure there’s no worry about getting in trouble. How fucking stupid or brazen or both do you have to be to not realize you’re on your own dashcam?
Will ANY of these criminals disguised as “public servants” ever pay for their crimes, or will prosecutors and fellow officers continue to protect, and thereby tacitly condone their racist and unconstitutional actions forever?
Speak up. Demand action. #resist
Trump already flipped the bird at the arts by cutting funding, and his Commission on Arts & Humanities just quit. He’s REALLY skipping the event because it would be like Hitler as guest of honor in Israel.
“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” ~Emma Lazarus
Right? How do I get to be a #CannabisCritic?
Obviously, this is THE stoner dream job, which must be performed ONLY by the ultimate stoners. But, I think I can handle this one. I mean, I am far better qualified than almost EVERYONE in the #Trump administration is for their jobs. Hell, by Trumpian standards, I’m so, extremely OVER-qualified, since #NoRelevantPriorExperience is the Oval Office rule of thumb. #News420 #MarijuanaCritic
