There’s only so much trauma I’m willing to take in in a day, honestly

I’m gay so I’m already icky in conservative eyes, but they still wouldn’t look at me and assume I’m less American or even related to an immigrant simply because I’m white. If I do say so, it doesn’t matter, even as a screaming liberal queer as fuck Trump hater, I’m white and my immigrant family is white so we are…

Back when Zoe Saldana got cast as Nina Simone and had to have all those prosthetics on her face, I thought even Nina Simone wouldn’t get cast as Nina Simone in her own biopic.

I teared up watching this. I didn't realize how badly I needed to see people being not shitty this week. 

Agreed, I saw this last night and it brought tears to my eyes, a large crowd showed up to support her, it was really great to see.

I did HS and college in North Carolina, so it’s sort of home (the definition of “home” can definitely expand to include “the place where you learned how to drive”) and I’m just so sad but also not surprised. I used to regularly email Thom Tillis using my mom’s zipcode just so I could yell at the shitbird.

The two books that followed made the movie much better, as they followed up on several incomplete storylines.

Ive said it before and I'll say it again. No one would think to tell me or my father and his family to go back where we came from. I'm first generation in his side, but we are white and he came from Canada so that means we belong I guess? That's what makes him "the good kind" of immigrant? His family didn't come here…

It also has to do with the fact that the airbag may hit a shorter woman (or children) in the face or throat. This is a known problem for years, and car manufacturers have done little or nothing to correct it. 

Right?! I want to volunteer to cover myself in Kevlar and just provide physical protection to this person. Her bravery deserves mine. And FINALLY, my disgusting fat body becomes a positive! 

This is touching. Her squad really does roll deep. Me included. 

Someone ought to remind these brave “patriots” the last bunch of people that tried to leave this country because they didn’t like it were....from the South. I guess it was “economic anxiety” huh?

I won’t listen to a fucking word a Republican says. They have been judged and found guilty of being un-American, Criminal, Racists and Traitors.

I see nothing but facts here. White people love laws and legal documents up until those laws and legal documents contradict whatever nonsense that they’re trying to get done.

White people stole the land they’re “defending” from the rightful owners and they know this. If you steal something, be it six months, six years, one hundred, two hundred, it is still stolen land. There is a saying in Trinidad: When thief see man with bag, translation when you’re a thief you see everyone as a thief.…

This is exactly what I need to end this shit show week. I regretably live in North Carolina and hearing my fellow statesman chanting at her on Wednesday night was horrific. I am glad she is being so warmly welcomed home by the people who voted her into such an important position.

I don’t pray often, but whoever is up there please keep her safe. 

I love this!

The Squad must be under a tremendous amount of pressure. However strong the courage of your convictions, it can’t be easy to be a nation-wide lightning rod for attention and criticism.

As a victim of a child molester who was my fifth grade male teacher, I can totally understand how someone in power, like officals in CBP and ICE, can get away with this kind of bullshit.
