Wow, I was already in tears when she was asking Simon about the ATM. Michaela Coel is so good at communicating the state Arabella is in and everything she's feeling. 

That is one of the most powerful testimonies I have seen since the murder of Floyd. That it is accompanied by cam footage is even more damning.

My favorite part is when she says that homosexuals are labeling themselves as trans to escape homophobia. Because being trans is so much more acceptable than being gay, right? How do you actually type that in a blog post and not realize how ridiculous that sounds?

Thanks for the tip! (pun intended) Gonna get some Chamo-La Harris tea!

Wow,  how dumb do you have to be to not know that tea wasn’t native to England.  The brits fought wars with countries to secure their tea addiction. 

It’s confusing if you don’t explain that “dead chuffed” means extremely pleased. SPEAK AMERICAN LIKE GOD INTENDED!

Overall, yes. And while his take is technically correct (the best kind of correct), it’s sort of missing the point: yeah, if we simply straight-up reversed things so that black people had all the power and started oppressing white people the same way white people oppress and have been oppressing black people, that…

Can you eat shit if you are a piece of it? Would that make you a cannibal?

What a shitty response.

Oh my god. I am so sorry you’re going through all of that and I hope you can have your surgery. <3

Question on bail funds...are these good ways to direct donations? I’ve just been hearing that jails are releasing people over the past few months bc of COVID, so I can’t imagine they’re holding protesters for too long. Also, a donation to a bail fund eventually just ends up in the government’s hands once said bail…

Amy Klobuchar is not going to be Biden’s running mate. Choosing her would put a Democratic senate seat in play in a battleground state, in a year they have a chance of barely retaking the Senate. Not gonna happen. I could see Biden choosing Warren, since the Dems would have a much better chance of winning her seat in…

Why are you pretending that criticizing a prosecutor for aggressively prosecuting drug crimes and non-violent offenses and criticizing a different prosecutor for failing to hold police accountable for their acts of violence are somehow contradictory? They are two different issues.

There’s also been growing recognition that some people who are not obese by BMI standards have the health profile of an obese person due to high body fat. There’s a specific term for it that I’m blanking on. 

We’ve tried the peaceful way.

I think you’ll find technically your whole damn country is founded on a violent protest, and without it you’d be singing “god save the queen” before big sporting events.

All these points are very important but I do feel the need to clear up that *donating* a kidney, by itself, doesn’t make you immunocompromised. Being the recipient of a donated kidney (or any other organ or tissue) does.

Martin Luther King, Jr., spent years calling for equality, advocating for change through non-violence. Those non-violent protests frequently resulted in white reactions of violence against the protestors, and King found himself widely disliked by whites, including liberal whites, and targeted by the FBI, until finally…
