Starbucks has a good track record on social issues, but I’m not mad at going DEFCON 1 over this. Only way to bring lasting change. People need to fear being racist as much as black people fear flashing blue and red lights.

He lost me at “Our store manager never intended for these men to be arrested”

Our store manager never intended for these men to be arrested and this should never have escalated as it did.

I just want to add: fuck Micheal Bewblay.

Since I was 7 years old and discovered TLC/Left Eye, I have been dying for more female rappers and while over the last year or so I have noticed an uptick in female rap songs, it still is very rare for any of them to break out and get the airplay that these male rappers are getting. I don’t get it. This is literally…

More so than any other time I can think of, SO MANY (male) rappers sound the EXACT same. They all have a Travis Scott-type sound, they all have that Gucci Mane flow. Cardi is correct, though it’s hilarious that she’s sort of unintentionally subtweeting her fiance.

You left out “make lists of things that make them uncomfortable.”

This is a Tomatoface wannabe.

Whole lot of nope. Survivors of trafficking don’t want this. It’s a horrible bill that only people who either hate sex workers or don’t understand how trafficking works would support. https://survivorsagainstsesta.org/

Of all people to sign off on this tragedy of a law.

This is at the absolute bottom of the list of repercussions, but: erotica authors have also taken a hit due to these rules. Amazon, one of the leading self-publishing sites literotica authors use to publish and earn money, has severely cracked down on the erotic ebook section. Things like censored lists, top sales…

Of course, this need to infantilize this GROWN-ASS FUCKING MAN is a reflection of America’s tendency to treat white people (white men, particularly) like babies from birth to cremation,

Yep. I remember all of us laughing and waiting gleefully for the “implosion” of the Republican party during the presidential primaries. Ha. How naive we were.

There is no guarantee Dems will win the House and/or Senate. We need to get involved - donate, calls, hit the streets. Sitting back and hoping the GOP is just going to implode is NOT going to be enough.

lil kim is 42 and her is one of her best, most nasty anthems

this dude is a goof with some wacky ideas

I’m your age; and I loved My Neck My Back (Khia) and Work It (Missy). So, I can’t criticize the youth for vulgarity. When you are young and on learning how to get it on, it’s nice to have female pop stars putting out sexy songs by and for the ladies.

hell, eazy-e was doing it back in the late 80's. it’s been going on for far longer than 10 years. not to mention, as an original punk rock girl, that genre is rife with men objectifying women.

This type of criticism of women rappers is cliched at this point.
