No, this is not about Trending Topics. This is about actual organic sharing of intentionally false news, like Breitbart.

But that is what is happening already, people are sharing whatever they want to share and its complete bullshit that is being passed as credible. I can’t tell you how many completely dumb and inaccurate stories I see on my newsfeed daily.

I don’t blame fb. Ignorance was around before fb and it will be around after it. But I do think it has exacerbated the issue of people staying in their echo chambers, conservatives and liberals, and not really caring to fact check sources and stuff like that. I see it on my own dash all the time and it’s a problem.

Zuck, you can either allow Facebook to be a completely user-driven experience, or you can be a news organization. But if you plump for the latter then it means deciding on an editorial direction for what you allow for, and ‘anything goes’ doesn’t fucking count, at least not if you want to have anything in the way of…

SORRY but yes you voted for him because you are smug and hardcore snowflakin’. You clearly have little-to-nothing to lose from a Trump presidency. I voted for Bernie in the primaries and Hillary yesterday. Do I agree with a lot of Hillary’s policies? Not particularly.

However. I have moderate to severe asthma, which…

Enjoy the next four years. Should be fun.

You are really dumb.

No, but I will demonize you and your party for a) failing and thus causing a lose/lose situation and b) not showing any evidence that should you have gotten the goal you wanted, that you would have done anything meaningful with it.

And you didn’t even get your fucking 5%, you assholes. You ruined it for everyone and you did it for nothing.

My dumbass cousin voted for Gary Johnson in OHIO and then posted on Instagram this morning hysterical about how the country could elect Trump.

I’m dismissing you because that’s what you’re worth with your shitty trolling. But I will say, I am dealing with it. This is the world now. I accept it. It doesn’t mean, however that I am required to like it

Fuck people who stayed home, wrote in Bernie, or left the President choice blank (My Father.) even more.

Would you have said the same thing to the white Mississippi freedom riders? They were good white people, too, and they paid the ultimate price for their decision to stand up for justice. Or the straight folk who mourned the death of Matthew Shepard? Or the men who fight for equal pay for women? Or the able-bodied…

"Good white people" demonstrate the qualities that all good people demonstrate: kindness, empathy, compassion, thoughtfulness, unconditional love. These are the values I try to instill in my students; that parents try to instill in their children.

I guess the question is "How can white people be supportive of the issue without seeming to demean or take over the issue? " If white people don't talk talk about what they do in the situation, then the narrative is that white people are ignoring the issue (which so many do). If white people talk about the issue,…

I find most of this essay very powerful. One area I wonder about is where you think good white people feel like they should be rewarded - what should good white people do then? Not delete trolls? Not be outraged? Keep the outrage to themselves? I understand the frustration of people seemingly wanting to be…
