Well, I have too many tabs on my laptop web browser, so let's clean them up. I think I can get a bunch of them off just by picking those involving racism and bigotry...
A reminder that modern day conservatives use religious liberty as an excuse to defend bigotry and discrimination... if they bother to require any excuse at all.
Reminders that conservatives only believe in free speech if it's speech that upholds white supremacy. Otherwise, if you speak out against injustice and for equality, they want you dead.
Reminders that our judicial system itself is built on racial bias.
Reminder that Eisenhower, yes, was quite thoroughly racist.
Reminder that, for Trump and his cronies, even legal immigrants must be purged. And, eventually, native born citizens that the conservatives don't like.
Reminder that Immigration and Customs Enforcement is an organization out of control, violating our most basic freedoms at will.
Reminder that conservatives still believe women are property.
Reminder that the party of Lincoln now believes the South should have won the Civil War.
Reminder that there will always be members of a persecuted group who pretend that their persecutors actually like them.
Reminder that, when a system is biased, a computer programmed to follow that system will also be biased.
Reminder that conservatives are working to prevent non-whites from voting at all costs.
Reminder that Trump and his followers are willing to waste money and make America less safe in order to advance nakedly racist goals.
Reminder that "Go back where you came from" has always been racist.
Reminder that, in America, "normal" is defined as "straight white man".
Reminder that racism is alive and well in our schools.
And, finally, reminders that our current administration has no interest whatever in serving any American who isn't white.

Mass Link Bundle #2
Not getting better using this. Let's see how many tabs I clear from my browser this time, beginning with the oldest.
In the south, and especially in Harris County, if you have no money, you have no justice.
The next time a Republican tells you that conservatives support equal rights for women, tell him about this. Or tell him he's full of shit. Both are true. (By the way, this story is from 2015, but Strickland still holds office.)
If you live someplace in Texas with a homeowner's association, or with a deed restriction, you may find out the hard way that you don't own your home at all- and that you have no legal rights worth respecting to try to keep it. HOAs in Texas are insanely powerful- and unaccountable.
Thanks, Bill and Hillary Clinton. Some of us remember.
Cutting taxes only boosts wealth for the rich. It doesn't make the economy stronger. Also, water tends to be slightly damp.
Remember, hard work does NOT equal success. If your boss can get away with paying you less than you're worth, he WILL- and he'll pat himself on the back for doing it.
The next time a conservative says, "You socialists just want stuff for free! I paid for mine!", point out that they could be getting what they're paying for for a LOT cheaper- by socializing it. That's how Scandinavia does it.
Responsible (white) gun owner pulls gun on black man because he's scared of black people.
Three victims of the CIA's torture program sued the doctors who designed the torture methods. And they won.This is the first, and so far only, victory for those seeking justice for the Bush administration's crimes.
(Paywall) Kansas gutted taxes; California hiked them sky-high. Now Kansas is sinking economically while California is soaring.
An excellent argument, with studies cited, against universal gun ownership, but my favorite bit is the simple response to the insane notion that the Second Amendment preserves the right to armed resistance against our elected government.
The Atlanta Braves got a special law passed for their new Cobb County stadium to give them a monopoly on expensive parking spaces- with no public transit option- all in the name of "safety." Riiiiight.
That's all Blogger will let me do for now...
