Why can’t media describe Chapel Hill murders as terrorism?

“insulting, insensitive and outrageous” to blame the triple homicide on a parking dispute, especially since “on the day of the murders, the parking spot that was ‘disputed’ had no car in it.”

Ka-pow! Why Sikh Captain America should be your new favorite superhero

Superheroes come in all shapes and sizes—but you’ve probably never seen one wearing a turban. Cartoonist Vishavjit Singh is out to change that with a unique twist on an iconic costume, and a bunch of Sikh-centric pop art.
Check out this short doc on what this superhero is all about—at 2:00 he explains his art over breakfast, at 7:03 he takes his message to the streets, and at 8:15 Captain America proves there’s room for all of us in this beautiful country.
In Captain America’s words: “It’s time to kick some intolerant [butt].”

Ben And Jerry’s Takes A Stand Against Police Brutality

[The founders of] The Ben and Jerry’s ice cream company recently took a bold stand against police brutality, with the announcement that they will be selling “hands up, don’t shoot” t-shirts to support victims of police murder. The founders of Ben and Jerry’s posted a picture to their Facebook page this week where one of the co-founders of the company can be seen wearing one of the t-shirts.

There was a message featured below the picture which read:

Our scoop shop managers got to meet THE Ben and Jerry at the annual franchisee/manager retreat! Stay tune to see how our shop will implement Ben’s take on “hands up don’t shoot” campaign to address police brutality and empower children of color.
