BUT how does the movement and momentum continue?

Me too, to see those thoughts come from such a young person was chilling. I felt hope for the future today for the first time in a long time

Watching her speak made me cry with pride. I’m so proud of these young people.

God, I’m so proud of these kids—and I’m only 24 dammit, calling them kids makes me feel old—I certainly had strong opinions at their age, but nowhere near the courage and skill they’ve had in making their message heard loud and clear.

Yep.

This is how to be an ally. Recognizing one’s privilege, and not feeling guilty and defensive about , but using it to help bring some other people’s truths to the light, and calling out the ignorance at the same time.

something I either literally couldn’t see or wasn’t willing to acknowledge.

People of color in this country, in this culture, tend to not matter as much as those who are white; that is the truth of America. In the Black Lives Matter movement, young black people have been shouting from the rooftops until their voices are raw and hoarse, and America hasn’t listened. But now that it’s white kids…

You are literally wrong because I actually really do like Bernie Sanders I just don’t like how he tried to steal the primary with fake allegations and then took F O R E V E R to endorse Hills which cost her the election.

All of whom kinja bloggers continuously slander as non-electable.

So we are in fact getting the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse..

That’s not fair. Mira Sorvino said the right thing.

I actually really like this argument.

Or how Florida is considered a state, but is superseded by being Florida.

Okay, so technically a hot dog fits the definition of a sandwich, but it is superseded by its own hot dog definition. It’s the same as a square is technically a rectangle, but it’s its own more specific thing - a square.

Hmm who to believe, Russell Simmons who also denies multiple rapes by multiple women, is a known cheater and has turned to new age apologist bullshit to excuse his disgusting behaviour? Or Aubrey O’Day who will fuck with the grossest of men and even write songs about it... Yah I’m going with the latter.

True. Their violence takes a different form, mostly in their personal lives and at the ballot box. Generally, correlation doesn’t equal causation. But the sheer number of mass murderers/school shooters/etc persons who had conservative views, or at least felt that women were their possessions, who were determined to…
