The number of likes on Doofenschmirtz comment reminds me of Jezebel’s readership demographics :(
leaving the burden of diversity and representation on POC.
jesus christ what percentage of gizmodo readers are trump supporters?
Black women are fucked over by police too.

Civilians with guns also confuse police in active shooter situations.
She’s running to be president, just like Obama, Kerry, and Bill before her.
I just think there’s a better option.
I like Teju Cole’s articulation of the “White Savior Industrial Complex” after that Kony mess in 2012. 7 tweets that pierce the soul of the West.

Bullock won a fucking Oscar for it.
But I guess that shouldn’t be so surprising given the state of “the Academy.”

As fucked as the confusing legacy and publishing rights to Harper Lee is, I’m glad we’re all past the nostalgia of putting Atticus on a pedestal.

Clinton also in her own words during the her fervent support for the 1994 Crime Bill dehumanized POC communities, using the term “superpredators”
for fuck’s sake, he wasn’t even that close.
Dr. Laura’s also a douchebag
She can now personally sue him for defamation, too.
