Don't Hate, Pontificate

My boy Bernie

I’m surprised to see a white man make this kind of comment.

^^ it’s called having a political strategist. He went from “all lives matter ” to this … he has a good pick up team and will lean as deep left as he can to win the election by the hands of millennials

Martin O'Malley is the one who said “All lives matter”. Bernie Sanders has been fighting for Civil Rights for 50 years. And dude identifies as a Socialist, he’s not pretending to lean left for votes.

…..Bernie was arrested in 1962 for protesting segregation in school and putting up flyers detailing police brutality against black people in America.

Bernie Sanders marched in Washington in support of MLK and attended his I Have A Dream speech.

Sanders has played huge roles in organizing actions protesting discriminatory actions by the U.S. government against minorities since the sixties, many times being the only politician in his circle to even mention these causes, let alone support them.

Get outta here. Only typing this out on the off chance someone out there believes it to be the contrary and can read this and be like, “oh, nice.”

FEEL THE BERN

i am going to be so sad if he doesn’t become president .

He saw MLKs I have a dream speech!!!!!!! He was there with his own beating heart!!!! Can you imagine witnessing the violence that happens to black folks today while the media and everyone denies its racism with that in the back of your mind?

AMERICANS YOU BETTER GET YOUR ASSES IN GEAR TO VOTE FOR THIS MAN SINCE THE REST OF THE WORLD CAN’T

freedom of speech means that the government can’t imprison you for what you say, not that the rest of us can’t tell you to shut the fuck up

SIDESHOW: Sometimes there are other ideas that I think would be awesome. So think of these as guest blog entries from other sections of my brain.

When it comes to embarking on the journey of parenthood, lots of millennials are saying, “Thanks but, no, thanks.“ To find out why so many young people are eschewing tradition, we solicited dozens of responses from people of all identities. From financial to biological concerns, their reasons were myriad — and all equally valid.

Monday is a concept

my grandparents have to lock their car doors when they go to sunday mass because people have been breaking in to unlocked cars and leaving entire piles of zucchini

i feel like i should’ve added more context when i posted this. my grandparents live in a rural area where farmers and casual gardeners alike are, at this point in the year, suddenly being hit with unexpectedly abundant zucchini crops. there aren’t just some random vandals leaving zucchinis in people’s cars for the hell of it, this is the work of some very exasperated, probably very elderly, folks who have more zucchini than they know what to do with

Yep. You can also expect to find a bag of zucchini on your porch.

My grandfather once found his neighbor stealing his tomatoes out of his garden at three in the morning. Red-handed, with a basket of the nearly-ripened ones.  He thought he was going to find gophers or something, but no, here’s Henry, taking his tomatoes. The best ones.

There was a long pause between them.

My grandfather (allegedly) said, “Henry… it’s OK.  You can take some tomatoes if you want them.”

Henry sighed in relief.

“But,” my grandfather said, “you have to take two zucchini for every tomato.”

There was another long silence.  “That’s a harsh bargain, John,” said Henry.  “But I accept.  I’ll tell Joe up the street, too.”

My grandfather said, “Tell Joe he needs to take three.”
