White women who want to broadcast their politics (in addition to actually taking action, ahem) could also just wear a t-shirt from Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, Amnesty, SPLC, CAIR, BLM, NOW, NPR, DNC ... the possibilities are endless. Just anything at all besides almost literally #notallwhitewomen.

The nondisclosure of evidence is obviously a legal problem (and that’s why his conviction was overturned), but it’s not the kind of issue Jezebel would write about.
