Sessions is a looming threat to people of color and the planet
By Judith Browne Dianis and Erich Pica, contributors - 01/11/17 07:00 PM EST

At few points in our generation does Congress seem poised to vote on something so colossally consequential for the wellbeing of people of color. The nomination of Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) as United States attorney general presents U.S. senators with one such decision. The question is, will they step forward on climate priorities and racial equity, or will they dangerously turn their back on the progress our country has made?

With Sessions as attorney general, communities of color stand to lose significantly. Charged with enforcing civil rights laws, the Department of Justice has historically played an important role in bringing us closer to an inclusive democracy.

It's a good thing I'm drinking right now because I am at the end of my rope with these lunatics.

They are afraid!

VERY afraid!
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
- J. R. R. Tolkien

It isn't so hot, but I love the bottle...and hey, it was a gift, so it's free!

I've hit my two glass limit.  I had to really hunt to find the preview button.

Here's something that you'll need to be very careful with.  It's very easy to go past two glasses... and at 138-proof, it's very strong.

Articles like this are great reasons to once and for all end BLACK PRIVILEGE. It's time black Americans realized they're not special and should be treated like all other Americans.
