If she thinks TERF is offensive...

There are precisely two circumstances when it’s OK - even admirable - to misgender someone.

This is what happens when someone has no fear of accountability of any kind.

The answer is always the same: the powerful/rich want the status quo, which is the powerful/rich to remain powerful/rich. Keeping people in their place, often violently, is just the way it should be for these people.

You left out a key element of this. The official report first stated that the man “tripped and fell”... that Is, until the video emerged.

In addition to the brutality, there is also the blatant dishonesty—even knowing that they are surrounded by video cameras, police are routinely misrepresenting what is going on (here, they said the guy tripped and fell, which kind of leaves out an important detail). I hope the news media, which is now the target of…

“I also received dozens (possibly hundreds, I have not been able to read them all)’’

Right? So have an Asian-American mod as well, NBD. Have a Latina mod. Have a gay mod. Why would that be so difficult?

She mentioned that in the article.

Precisely. And like...we (and certainly the writer here) are not the target audience for that statement. The target audience is the White People Who Still Just Do Not Fucking GET IT — the ones who minimize the issue, and make excuses, and rationalize the heavy police/military presence, and assume that anyone who is…

So you’re mad at her for going to a rally and talking about what’s happening? I keep seeing people being mad about silence, but then people who do speak are still attacked? And this is why people don’t want to speak about this, because there are people who will attack them no matter what they say. You’re not helping…

I guess you are unfamiliar with Ellen Pompeo. Her husband and children are black. She is an extremely vocal anti-racism activist.

At a time when we are witnessing our police become brazenly lawless against peaceful protesters, we should absolutely be screaming about all of these very alarming things that they are doing. Plus, I’m pretty sure Ellen Pompeo has previously spoken about racial justice, but go ahead with your snark, I guess.

It’s definitely rhetorical, I’m in the middle of a self-hating Grey’s Anatomy binge rewatch and that’s classic Shonda Rhimes phrasing, she’s clearly been reading lines that way for so long that it’s become her own natural speech pattern.

“White privilege will not be a thing in our house.”

With that many members I would want a mod for every single one of those qualifiers for two reason: It gives people something to do and it would keep a lot of shit out of my inbox.

These are not smart people we’re talking about.

How many were active members and how many were there to get names for MLM leads?  Just wondering, lol.

lmao, God forbid he adds a black moderator AND an Asian moderator.

If the group has 38,000 members, it doesn’t seem like a huge deal to try to have a couple dozens mod, tbh.
