"I joined the Manufacturing Jobs Initiative in January to advocate for policies that align with our values and encourage even stronger investment and job growth – in order to make the United States stronger, healthier and more prosperous for all people. After careful consideration, I believe the initiative is no longer an effective vehicle for 3M to advance these goals. As a result, today I am resigning from the Manufacturing Advisory Council."

Inge Thulin, CEO of 3M, today. That's seven that have quit. So far.

Yes, by all means, let the Nazis march and spew their hatred unchecked and unchallenged. And let's have leadership that excuses it and questions why people would ever be concerned about it.

So what you're saying is we need to keep a better eye on what immigrants we let in here.

A protest march scheduled this weekend over Google's firing of an employee who criticized the company's diversity policy has been cancelled over what organizers call "alt-left terrorist threats."

Bishop James E. Dukes of Chicago’s Liberation Christian Center made headlines in the Windy City on Wednesday for calling on Mayor Rahm Emanuel to rename WASHINGTON PARK and remove a statue of the first U.S. president over his ties to slavery. Mr. Dukes told his Facebook flock that “it’s time” after Mr. Trump sparred with reporters over efforts to expunge Civil War-era monuments from existence.

Now this is somewhat of a valid concern. I agree that some group of people would like to have Jefferson removed for his slave holding. The 2 are different in the sense that when people think of confederacy, they think of slavery. The association is so strong. But for most people, slavery is like the 10th thing they think of about Jefferson, and Jefferson has the excuse that he wasn't behind the times like the confederacy was.

Well, there's no better time than the present to educate the public on what a virulent racist TJ was, and a great way to do that would be by dismantling the Jefferson Memorial.

...right? I mean that does sound like something they might eventually come around to saying.

And Antifa is there a well, with pink baseball bats and shields.

In what world do you equate a face book post from one dude saying "it's time" with = "Chicago may remove Washington Statue"?

Are you paid to scour the internet and post misleading sht?

I too have wondered whether the white supremacists should have just been left alone in Charlottesville. They are, after all, a relatively small group of losers who seem OK with parading around with shields bearing the Nazi swastika. Confrontation leads to escalation, which we've seen. But you can't fail to confront them, because that can suggest that their viewpoints are condoned, are acceptable, and then they grow in number. They've grown in number since Trump began his campaign--because he is a racist and white supremacist. If you think of the history of white supremacy in this country--the KKK, lynchings, murder, Jim Crow laws--then it is clear that these groups must be confronted or the problem, under this president, just grows. That can't happen. Within the White House, Trump will soon have to decide whether he's going to keep his white supremacist aide, Bannon, or his National Security Advisor, McMaster, because they do not like each other, have totally different views, and will not coexist. Trump will end up sacking Bannon. We can be thankful that there are at least a few sensible people in the White House to counter the crazies, starting with Trump himself.

RE Confederate monuments: I am familiar with a city that has a large number of /prominent/ Confed monuments. To say they are bad look, bad image, in 2017, would be an understatement. It's not about the generals, it's about the cause for which they fought. It was the wrong cause--state's rights is just a euphemism for the state's right to be a slave state---AND they lost. It's generally not a good idea to memorialize a misguided, losing cause. If you visit Germany, you won't see any statues of Hitler. The Confederate generals and Davis, etc. were not Hitler, but the cause--slavery--was bad, and wrong.

So trampling some civil rights and violating the constitution are ok if you don't agree with them.
