69. Just for the record, I find the actions at Netroots Nation in Phoenix rather ill advised.

Sun Jul 19, 2015, 02:20 PM

Jul 2015

to put it as politely as I'm able. Among other rather stupid, moronic, pointless actions taken, BLM blocked emergency access to Hospitals here in Oakland back on May 30th.

That was the moment BLM completely lost my support.

The organizers actually believe they're demonstrating to convey that Black Lives Matter and that no other lives matter.

Yeah, that's a winning philosophy.
