A 1-year-old child is dead after police officers in Mississippi opened fire on a vehicle in a crowded Walmart parking lot in Senatobia. His mother, who has not been charged with any crime, says she was trying to communicate to officers that there was a baby in the car. They fired anyway, leading to the death of an innocent 1-year-old. We intend to seek justice for baby Kohen and the life that was stolen from him.

Let me tell you why I'm with the Brown folk and queer folk and the women folk - somebody just reminded me of this - I was born and raised less than 10 miles from where I live right now. I'm a white dude, a southern dude, I own a gun, I have a job, I vote,  I drink beer, I fish, I pay my taxes, I grew up raising hell and listening to the Allman brothers ....
But the flag-waving Uber-patriots still come at me foaming at the mouth and telling me I'm not American enough, not straight enough, not man enough to be part of what they think belongs in "their America." Literally happened completely unprovoked about 10 minutes ago.
Now, if these crazy jackasses come at me??? - when I have a redneck pedigree that goes back to the Civil War.... how much more are they gonna try to persecute people that aren't like me? I'm literally everything they say they want, except I won't vote for institutionalized racism and a war on women and queer folk.
Screw them!
Persecuting people and hating people is no way to go through life. Miss me with all that
I'll be hanging with the womens and the queers and every color that the Good Lord made us in. And we will be looking better and eating better and having hell a lot more fun.
Bet on that.
So, I learned today, that police in the U.S. kill 4 people and 30 dogs every single fucking day.
1300 people and 10,000 dogs a year.
Defund. The. Fucking. Police.
Sheryl Crow speaks out after Trump’s UFC 250 event: “To stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency. Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living. Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people. It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them. Let's be better, America.”
It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together.

#BREAKING: Hayes: “It has been clear to anyone paying attention that Donald Trump, the guy who did January 6th, the guy who insists he won the popular vote in 2016 and created a whole commission that took over a year to confirm, no, he still lost by three million votes, the guy who insists that California, yes that California, a state which he lost his closest race by 20 points, actually voted for him in all its elections but then rigged the count, the guy who has pushed this totally unprecedented lawless effort to rig the congressional maps for the midterms, that guy was always going to use every trick he could, legal or not, to retain power in the midterm elections, we have known that, and now this week, that is coming into very very sharp focus.” 😳
