I get this, I really do! You have a life that is unaffected by this, and you are incredibly fortunate this is so. I hope that you and your family will never worry the government will deny you entry to your home, or hold you in violation of the law. I hope you grow old healthy and safe, your children have great

Apparently this also happened yesterday. For those unfamiliar, Sikhs have a tradition of offerings free meals on a daily basis at their temples. Large temples pride themselves on being open to feed people 24 hours a day.

Not sure which March this is from, but I thought this was worth sharing.

The speaker system wasn’t the best! I could hear if I strained my ears, but at least the Warren speech is online now. Healey’s is definitely worth a listen if it’s up, too. But yes—such a wonderful day. The organizers did a fantastic job, and the MBTA and BPD were such a great support.

“Write a note to yourself about what you would never do. And when you come to the line, don’t cross it.”

When everything’s made to be broken, they just want you know to know who they are.

A pastor in California is part of a faction of Christians upset about Octavia Spencer’s role as God in the movie adaptation of William P. Young’s controversial 2007 novel The Shack. Spencer is black, you see, and God is a white man.

Well, here’s how these conversations feel as a person of color. A white person reaches out to you sometimes - as the only POC that they know. “Hey, can you explain this one thing to me?” Like, I’m Mexican-American, so they might say, for example, “Hey, can you tell me why people think Speedy Gonzales was a negative

This does not surprise me in the slightest. There are just certain people who you can tell are like that and Swinton definitely has those vibes. It’s like when Taylor Swift touched the weekends hair, or when Tina Fey had trouble naming  latinos in show business, or when Sherlock Holmes (aka animorphs face) used the

Well Depp apologists, here it is. The proof beyond any shadow of a doubt regarding what happened. The root of domestic violence and violence against women is about control and power. She is a survivor and moving on and he can’t handle that. Fuck him.

You don’t see any vagrant squeegee guys harassing drivers on Qatar now, do you?

“It’s what we are conditioned to believe — that if we speak up, our livelihoods will be threatened; that standing our ground will lead to our demise,” she writes. “We don’t want to be kicked out of the sand box for being a “bitch.” So we compromise our integrity for the sake of maintaining status quo and hope that

Who knew that Kim was actually the intellectual Kardashian? In comparison to what the other Kardashians have been posting, her tweet is a like a treatise on being a celebrity in the moderne age.

Any parent who just hands their child to a stranger should be ashamed. That child did not want to be there. This is why sexual assault is such a big problem - children are repeatedly taught that they don’t get a choice in where/how/from whom they receive affection.

The same thing that’s always happened to it: undying racism and the never-ending lust for money/resources.

Nancy O’Dell’s response is my current working definition of “classy”

Raise your hand if you have used this move on your creepy relative. ✋

Agreed. Bush comes off as an equally disgusting sycophant. Trump supporters won’t give two shits about this. Anyone *still* supporting Trump at this point likes his views on women, so this has no impact other than making the rest of us feel even more disgusted by this election than we were an hour ago. More and more

As a Black woman, it always weirds me out when people say things like this, as I experience, see, read, and hear about people being openly racist to people who look like me every day, and know firsthand how strong anti-Black racism is in many Asian communities. This idea that other POC and some white people have that

There are shelters open all over the state. There’s a shelter down the street from me in Tampa that is mostly people from Treasure Coast. My kid’s Girl Scout troop just took some GS cookies to them.
