I feel like MIA’s statement is just a subset of #alllivesmatter. At this point there are plenty of sources/statements out there about the movement that she could use to educate herself on why it’s called BLM and what they’re fighting for.

Not to mention, many of those issue overlap, such as with Black Muslims.

Wendy Davis of TX would be great.

They can do it now dumbass. If this were a real thing it would already be happening all the time.

black people have historically been mocked for having large lips. were you not aware?

“We need more restrictions on firearms in this country.”

“Laws don’t stop criminals!”

“Transgender people can use the bathroom for the gender that matches their identity.”

“MAKE A LAW! THIS CANNOT STAND!”

Eh, there is a racial element. Black features only become “coveted” when they’re on white women. Just look at what happened on MAC’s Instagram when they posted a closeup of black lips during fashion week.

“Everybody wants to be a nigga but don’t nobody wanna be a nigga.”

No, and if somebody wants to go into a restroom with nefarious purposes, there are already laws against sexual assault, etc., and another law isn’t going to stop them. Bathroom bills only make criminals of transgender people.

Has there ever been a single case of a transgender person attempting to molest a child in a restroom? I’d be more worried about my kids spending time alone with a Republican wrestling coach.

It’s not so long ago, really. Think of how many tens of thousands of ex-slaves were still alive in the 1920s and 1930s.

This article is amazing. A really thorough analysis about why the process is working and why uncertainty is good.

This is the kind of coverage, summary, and analysis I was hoping for a long time ago and I’m a liiiiiitle annoyed that we didn’t get it until we’re halfway through the primary season and New York (of course New York) is voting.

Senator Davis is the best thing to happen to Texas since Ann Richards. I am proud to have irritated a huffy memaw TSA worker at a Texas airport, while on a recent business trip, with my apparel -the Uterine-American version of the “Come And Take It” t-shirt, accompanied by my pink Mizuno kicks just like Sen Davis’s…

WENDY!!! God I love her

She just seems so...thoughtful.

Wow, it just seems like the Texas Senate could really use voices like hers right about now. :(

I voted for Wendy. I would be sad if she didn’t run for governor again. She would be an amazing one for Texas.

Though it sounds like a trite catchphrase, it is absolutely true: when women do better, we all do better.
