If all lives really matter to the folk who proclaim it, why are they just using it as a rhetorical comeback, and not a call to action?

Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025If all lives really matter to the folk who proclaim it, why is it a punchline rather than an affirmation that police brutality is wrong?

If you think all lives matter *equally* you should have a major problem with police who kill unarmed civilians and get away with it.
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025Actually what they mean by all lives matter is the cops' lives matter more, so they get to kill whoever they want whenever they want.

America is home to 30,000 gun deaths per year. What's the All Lives Matter movement doing about that? How about obesity, diabetes & stroke?

Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025Y'all don't really give a fuck about "all lives" you're just tired of having to hear Black folk talk about ours.

All Lives Matter is oddly silent about how many White Americans are struggling to survive and totally reliant upon government assistance.

All Lives Matter doesn't have shit to say about all these damn meth labs and pill mills in White rural communities. Don't they count too?

I seem to know their issues better than they do. Maybe it's because they're too busy telling Black ppl what to do instead of looking inward.

Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025Case in point, the cops are killing White folk too, so why isn't All Lives Matter joining hands w/Black Lives Matter to end ALL the killing?
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025****
They're like "cops kill White people too" and I'm like "does that make it ok?" If all lives matter how is THAT ok?
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025They really should just say all lives not involved in a police encounter matter because you deserve to die if the cops think so, so welp.

Thank you so much, NW, for featuring these tweets. Fundamental reading for ALL!!!
You’re welcome, Bob.
Propane Jane is a truth telling force.
She certainly is, NW.
All lives matter is dismissive and insulting.
UNFORTUNATELY….SOCIETY TODAY IS EQUAL TO THE LEVEL OF A SEWER DRAINAGE CAP….THE TRUTH HIT THE STREETS AFTER THE PRESIDENT WAS ELECTED AND IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE BECAUSE SOCIETY HAS DUMPED ITS MORAL VALUES. IT WILL GET WORSE UNTIL THE LORD RETURNS TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT. HE’S NOT GOING TO PUT UP WITH THIS TOO MUCH LONGER!
Medicare is the Greatest!!! Obamacare is the Greatest!!!!
GOP is insane.
Vicki-your true words should be put up on highway billboards throughout the country. Makes a good bumpersticker, too.
That, Vicki, should be all Dems have to say to win in 2016.
As a Medicare recipient, Thank you, LBJ, Thank you Dems for bringing us Medicare.
Firedoglake is shutting down.
WHAAAAAAT?????? SERIOUSLY??????? TIME FOR CHAMPAGNE!!!!!
Thanks for the righteous tweets, NW, and congratulations to Bobfr and Vicki on being the first to note it.
Brilliant Tweets, NW.
I don’t have a problem with #AllLivesMatter had it been FACTUAL. I have a problem with fellow citizens getting all bothered with #BlackLivesMatter and making excuses whenever a Policeman kills an unarmed Black or Brown person.
I have a problem whenever some deny Racism, Separate and Unequal, Inequality, Structural and Institutionalized pronouncement of Justice in the Judicial System that heavily disenfranchise the Black and Brown Community.
I mostly have a Huge problem with those who benefit from the inequality and then turn around to Blame those who have Never had the same opportunity.
Congrats, Doc Bobfr on your Au⭐
Yes!
All lives should matter but it’s obvious that some lives matter more than others. All lives matter is a lie since Black lives are easily ended with no repercussions. Ask Zimmerman who wasn’t even a cop but walked away free after murdering a young Black man. The cops didn’t even want to arrest him.
As I have said before, the All Lives Matter nonsense comes from the same place of hatred that the “I Can Breathe” t-shirts cops wore in response to the “I Can’t Breathe” rallying cry. It was designed to shut the discussion down. “All Lives Matter” is a way to maintain the status quo of police murders of unarmed Black folks by blame shifting. “All Lives Matter” implies an equal treatment of AA’s and white folks by the police that is patently untrue (and has NEVER been true in this country’s history). “All Lives Matters” is basically saying that the playing field is level and police murders of unarmed Black people are the fault of Black folks, not the police. Like the racists on Fox, the “All Lives Matter” proponents are pointing to behavior, not race, as the cause of the police murders of Black citizens. The underlying premise is that if Black folks acted like white folks there would be no police murders of unarmed Blacks. Let’s not forget that Bernie Sanders said that racism is over in America. Implicit, but unstated, in that statement is the belief that any problems of discrimination faced by Black people is the fault of Black people. The left blaming the victim of racisms for their plight, same as the right. Sanders knew of the statistics that show disparate experiences and opportunities Black and white Americans experience when he made that ridiculous statement, but he blames the oppressed not the oppressor for the situation. This is the safe and comfortable position of a white supremacist who refuses to see himself as such.
YEAH!!!
BOOM.
Bam Bam Bammity BAM!
Right on!!

Fantastic! Now that training camps are about to open I can now focus all of my attention on Football ( real football and not that stuff they play overseas where the players fall down and fake an injury if you look at them wrong).
You mean Throw Run Carry Hand-Egg.
Hot men (and women) running for 90min with no commercials is AWESOME.
It’s not an hour game, with 11 minutes of actual play time, by over-steroided players in pads and spandex, that takes away 4 hours of my life that I’ll never get back.
😀😀😀
xoxox
Nothing says sports like a bunch of models that run around in silk shorts and designer jerseys waiting to get their next contract modeling underwear.
For 90 min with no stopping or time outs other than halftime. Yes, it is.😀
I’m sorry but when the label on your shorts and jersey says Hugo Boss or Oscar de la Renta well then it might not be a sport.
Because we all know Fashion money isn’t real money, right?
All of the families that have lost love ones at the hands of the police have one thing in common. They all have been asked to calm a citizenry that hasn’t even begun to voice their outrage. Think about that for a moment, your child or brother or sister gets murdered by the police and the first contact you have from the mayor’s office is someone asking you to talk to the people in your community and ask them stay calm. That is the madness that African Americans have to endure, a ten year old child gets gun downed on a playground and someone from downtown ask you to help them calm your community down. Obviously this approach hasn’t worked because our brothers and sisters are still getting gun downed in the streets. Stop telling us that we have to stay calm, in case you haven’t noticed, that’s all we’ve been fucking doing is staying calm but yet you still kill us. Maybe someone can tell us what approach we can take to make the police stop killing us, I’m all ears.
NW, do they have this in say size AA (AfricanAmerican)?
LOL.
NOW THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ‘BOUT!
Thanks girl❤
😀 😀
Or, in size TOD?
Thanks vc. This one has a smattering more of black folks in attendance than the first one NW posted.😉
😉 Don’t forget those on the upper levels that we can’t see.
lawdddddddd,,,GG

Hey Tally girl
Hey babe!!!

Propane Jane speaks to the heart of the matter with raw and comprehensive honesty
Ok guys, don’t tell anyone here at my office, but I am going to try to dial into the President’s Conference Call today at 3:00 pm PST/6:00 pm EST.
Don’t tell - shhhhhh!
6:00 pm, hmmmmmm, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives comes on at 6:00 pm.
Join me Don
I will, I’m just talking smack until it’s time for me to leave work.
Awesome!!!!
Tally, do you have the dial in number and passcode? If not, I can send it to you
I don’t. Yes please!!
I just emailed it to you

The War against the President and the people of America.
This is very worrying.
Israel/AIPAC/GOP Must know they won’t win against the World and Iran.
So, what’s the purpose of these assaults?
Smearing PBO? Denigrating him? Demonizing him?
61/2 years into their unceasing negativity PBO appears stronger than ever.
What am I missing and it must be something because I am surprised by the intensity and $$$$ being thrown into what seems to be a lost cause.
Vicki, if you find out what you’re missing, do share with me as I seem to be missing it too. Such consistent intensity against what amounts to a ‘stay’ for war is too much. If they are so convinced this is not the answer to Iran, what’s wrong with trying it, especially as they have no concrete alternative other than ‘bomb, bomb, bomb Iran’? At least if it’s tried and fails, they’d be in a stronger position to argue for war! I really do not understand people who are largely irrational!
I think that may be precisely because it’s a lost cause. They will go on kicking and screaming to make it look PBO is going against the will the of the people. They cannot allow him any success on this. They are losing and losing bad.
I understand what both of you are saying but I still have a gap in what I’m seeing, VC and meta.
The horrible TV ads are punishing anybody who has the television on in NY. Probably in lots of other markets across our country.
The President will have his success. No matter what they do. I cannot make sense of it. They are stirring up hate and to my mind for no apparent gain.
It’s ugly, Vicki, and the fact that so many member of Congress join AIPAC in the fight against the President borders on treason.
A LITTLE CONVENIENT I DO BELIEVE…NOT SWALLOWING THE #370 STORY….LOTS OF URANIUM HAS GONE SOMEWHERE…………………………………………….
GA TODville.
In case you’re interested (6pm EDT)…
ARGH, I wish they wouldn’t do that! There are limited spaces so let’s hope that OFA volunteers can get on.
OFA AND TODers, of course!
Brava Nerdy. Thanks for featuring Propane Jane’s no-nonsense truth telling!
#AllLivesMatter is a crock!
So far Diane Feinstein, Martin Heinrich, and Dick Durbin are the Only Senators saying they will vote Yes with PBO on the Iran Deal.
Durbin, not Schumer, should be the next Dem leader on the basis of this alone.
If any Democrat is leading the effort to get this deal through the Senate it is not apparent to me.
One by one I believe many senators will fall in line and back their President. This will be a long few weeks for those who worry as I do. SS better up their game big-time because the hate is dangerous to Our Beloved President.
Lest anyone forget the virulently racist texts exchanged amongst the Miami Beach and San Francisco police, or the GA policeman who said he got paid to beat up n_____s, or the entire system in places like Ferguson.
The KKK / Aryan Brotherhood has infested police forces all over the country.
Not a New thang
BWD tweeted “Firedoglake is dead and Obamacare lives.” LOL LOL LOL
Next maybe we can say Iran Deal Lives and AIPAC is weeping.
I hope you’ll join me in a toast when that day happens, Vicki.
HA!!!
3 more fires have broken out since I tweeted this 2 hours ago.
These are the guys holding some of the highest offices in the nation. SMH.
“Paul’s Senate office referred inquiries to his presidential campaign, which did not return a request for comment.” So no-one speaks for the Senator?
And there’s a neat little runaround. Always demanding that the President answer their tantrums - NEVER being responsible for their own actions.
I❤ Bennett's toons!
(Too many political despicable lowlifes - would need a combination trophy?)
I just dialed into PBO’s ccall and got right through. I wasn’t asked for a password.
Hi Meta,
Me too!! No password needed. “Welcome to the White House call with President Obama”
Hey, Donna! It will be so great to hear his voice again!
I’m here with you:) Listening on speaker:)
Wish we could Skype:) Just sayin’….
That would be a blast
Sure would:)
OOOoooooooooo, what a blast that would be!!
YAYAYAY!
I’m on too meta and they just came on and thanked us for holding. I didn’t use the password either
The gang’s all here.
Me, too! I’m still on hold, waiting for the President to come on!
I’m waiting to hear every detail from you ‘gals’, (including ‘every breath he takes’). 😀
As if we would hang up on PBO!!!!
Inorite? I was thinking: dude, I’ll wait as long as you want me to wait.
Please continue to hold for my President? NO PROBLEM!
me too
I’m holding sir😀
I have my office phone on speaker, so I am working while listening
Me too. I was so glad everyone left by 6:00. teeheehee
Exactly..multitasking like someone else we know:) Do you think he’ll hear us clapping when he comes on?
😀😀😀
Holding too.
Love that the TOD family is all on the call:)
I’m waving at you all
Here we go…..! Yay
PSLA!!!! Hi girl❤
Hey GG!!
{{{HUGS}}}
Here he is @TheIranDeal
Here he is!!!
He sounds so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There he is!
Heads Up - Full Moon in about 12 1/2 hours from now - opposition takes place 7.56 Aquarius, 6:43 am EDT, 3:43 am PDT. Quite beautiful!❤
He has their numbers!!
In the world of our dreams
In the real world, this is the deal that will get the job done
We are here for you, POTUS.
Yes, we do need to make our voices heard to our Congress critters
Time to get loud y’all!!! And make our voices heard…. DONE & DONE Mr. President
OFA members must get involved and start making our voices heard. We need to be loud and informed as we address the facts with Congress.
Get moving! Do not wait
Yes sir, Mr. President
Okay, so I’m holding my breath here waiting for your reports, among all of you TODreps we should be able to get a comprehensive report . We need every little bit, every nuance, every.thing. so organize listen carefully!
.
.
And thanks you all!!!!
This admonition is for
Gx2,
PurpleShoes,
GDD,
Desertf,
Meta,
JER (You get the visuals report), and
Prettyf!
Plus anyone else listening in to PBO but didn’t identify him/herself!
Humpffff! You are aware you spend quite a bit of your time laughing at me, right?
We got your back! Mr. President
And thank you for taking the time to speak with us about this important issue
I didn’t want to disconnect😦
Thanks Meta for the PBO #IranDeal livetweets
YVW!!
meta, bring your tweets over here
Where? Come on, pass ’em on!
Check meta’s TL - she may later (or sooner) post them on the new thread that Nerdy just posted.
new thread? byyye!
o and thanks!
WE GOT A JOB TO DO!!!
Well, put on your boots, TODers. Let’s get this steamroller going.
Let’s do this thing! My President asked us to step up and be good citizens. You don’t get more important and personal that that! He can’t do this alone…
I actually said. ” Goodbye! Thank you!” out loud….
Starting tomorrow each of us should take turns doing a “call to action”. It would be great if over the next few weeks if Chips or NW would have a feature thread everyday with a link to all Senators and Congressman and each day we ask the followers here to call, tweet, fax and email their Congress preson and Senator to support #TheIranDeal
Great idea. I’m also going to write a letter to send to all my congress critters individually…even the batshit crazy ones…every last one of mine is a Republican….but I don’t care.
And since they are all at home (local offices) for vacation, we should be able to call our Senators & Reps easily. I’m call those I know here in California. I will even call the Republican ones here in California
I AM IN…..I’ve got President Obama and VP Biden’s back. I will call & write all CA Reps and our two Dem Senators.
YES YES YES
New post.
