Heather Ann Thompson: “When you tell the nation that hippies are violent, the antiwar protesters are violent, prisoners are violent, civil rights is really about thuggery instead of genuine rights, then, all of a sudden, you look at Kent State, you look at the Chicago convention of ’68, you look at Attica and you completely miss the fact that all the violence was state violence.”
Moms and Facebook. Hahahahaaa.
Um, walking a cat in the Senate?
And a handwashing contest?
And also? Not giving a fuck is magical.
And now, have a laugh with Wanda Sykes.
