Cops get hair-trigger training. How to out-draw in case they are mistaken about the person they are confronting, because desk duty is better than being dead. What they are not trained in is the fact that anyone who wants to kill them will easily do so and they won’t see it coming and won’t be able to stop it. Which…

This is not accurate. They are not taught to maim or disarm. If there’s a hint of deescalation its deescalation by brute force, so no.

I saw that shit and my heart fell. Not for his dumb ass, he decided to sign up to be a Stormtrooper. But now we know he’s black and his name is Mohammed this whole thing is just going to become about racism and Islamophobia. He’s going to jail for sure but I wouldn’t hold my breathe for any police reform to come out…

Blue Lives don’t ride for Somali-Americans. He should have known.

Oooh, look! A “black” who is so disappointed in me:

Just goes to show how entitled whites are when it comes to their humanity. They aren’t required to feel empathy for us or anyone else, or to have any sort of introspection on intersectional issues... but to not feel empathy for them? Suddenly you deserve the death penalty for the grave misdeed of not loving white…

They’re still crying and not making any sense. Wouldn’t this apply to THEM?

Okay, so these cops weren’t expecting this “disturbance” call to amount to anything, so they didn’t turn their cameras on. Except if that were true, then why were they so keyed-up and panicky that they shot an unarmed woman who walked up to their car to talk to them?

And here they are with the whine missing the point:

“Devaluing human life based on the color of someone’s skin is a perfect example of racism. Congrats.”

I’m worried about the rising tide of judging whatever gets somebody else through this clusterfuck of a decade with the shreds of their sanity intact.

That’s totally something a Capricorn would say! ;)

I used to read palms in college, and I love the idea of teasing people about the characteristics of their zodiac sign, but I don’t take those things seriously. I hope other people approach these things similarly, but knowing that we live in an advanced country where flat eartherism is growing, I also worry.

This seems like a job for white folks and the All Lives Matter crew.

For the grays:
No, I don’t give a fuck about this white woman being killed by the police. Spare me the, “Don’t be mad when somebody black is killed by police and white people don’t care!” You fuckers have shown us repeatedly that you don’t care. For…

Yep, I was saying earlier how awesome it would be if they held up the vote just for him and then he walked onto the floor and voted against it. Sadly, I don’t think that’s likely now that we know the surgery was for a blood clot and not to give him a spine.

Right? Like, this is the first public statement Jesse has ever made that wasn’t full of eloquence. Sounds like he’s not so sure of his words. Hmm. Jesse Williams: from “bae” to “bah”.

“I was in a relationship 13 years, 13 real years, not five years, not seven years— 13 years,”

I am with you, because I read that Instagram up top and was like, “Oh great, now we’re going to have dingbats showing up at BAM in their PJs.” (Sidebar: NO POSSESSIVE APOSTROPHE FOR PJs, jeez Tavi, aren’t you supposed to be an editor or something?)

Roommates, public transportation and one decent meal a day. At least that’s how I did it before heading to NJ.

That rent is more then my monthly salary. NY people how do you live in NY!?

Tavi Gevinson is one of the biggest cultural dissapointments. Especially in this ripe new political environment. I loved all her writing and have followed her from the very beginning. She had intellectual vigor, character, and societal insight like no other.
