Her name is Tiffany and she runs @TheBeatDC, which is like the Root’s “Journalisms” in that there is so much information in it it is entirely too much to read but we still have to try, because we need it.

Plus Letitia Wright was already cleverly taking down colonizers on Black Mirror before we even saw Black Panther. She been about that justice for black people life.

They can’t be small dog barks, so people with higher and/or softer voices will probably have to do some training.

Stay with me here, I got a crazy theory:

Every one of you assholes who vote Republican have blood on your hands. You’re all complicit. There’s no fixing you. These last two years have proven that. The United States of America can no longer function as one country. Not when half of you are totally cool with children dying as collateral damage so your…

A bunch of dead kids year after year is collectively less important than the theoretical ability given to you if you are a citizen of this country to own a machine thats sole purpose is to kill other people.

She just got the privilege of watching and listening to her fellow students and friends die at the hands of a gunman hours before she made that tweet.

You just pulled a “well actually” on someone whose friends were just murdered. Fuck yourself with a horse

But........if he was already KNOWN as unstable, and expelled for behavioral problems, and former classmates had ALREADY complained about him joking about committing a school shooting, weren’t the so-called authorities already aware?

The NRA is a domestic terrorist organization.

You’re a real piece of shit

You’re really going to get on her for not parsing her tweet to meet your exacting pedantic requirements? Go fuck yourself.

He said America doesn’t have a gun problem, it has a mental health problem. Then he went and signed legislation MAKING IT EASIER FOR MENTALLY UNSTABLE PEOPLE TO GET GUNS.

In response to Trumps tweet.

I got to see Panther two days ago at the first matinee screening in a small town in England, and I was pleasantly surprised to find an 11:15AM showing on a rainy Tuesday very well attended (UK theaters are almost always dead empty at that time, for pretty much any film, though school holidays no doubt helped)... I…

You know what’s funny, all the pundits like to skate around this simple fucking fact. They make up ALL kinds of things just to shy away from this. At this point it’s fucking blatant and obvious, I feel sorry for anyone with a political science degree in America, in the end, it’s all bullshit. It is hard getting white…

You see how this work is, you call your boy over at ICE and tell them you got one. No need to go through procedure, just call him up and boom! This shit happens all over Sanctuary cities, because, and say this as a former cop—a lot of cops are fucking racist. I will pause for your expressions of shock and dismay.

Never said economics equates to neoliberalism, although neoliberal dogma does command a disproportionate share of what’s taught at undergraduate level.

...where black people are viewed primarily as survivors of racial trauma and violence.
... Wakanda’s is noteworthy because it isn’t a world of compounded trauma; it’s one of self-determination and sovereignty.
Thank you, Anne. It fells like I waited all my life for someone to say these words.

As a recovering economist, I also love the subtext of Wakanda’s development. Contemporary neoliberal “wisdom” say that free trade (as defined by wealthy countries) is the best way for a country to develop its economy. This is manifestly untrue and even the most vociferously free trade countries (the UK and the US)…
