I guess you are unfamiliar with Ellen Pompeo. Her husband and children are black. She is an extremely vocal anti-racism activist.

“You tell me” is pretty much the closest thing to /s in the spoken word. 

I could be unfairly giving Ellen Pompeo the benefit of the doubt here, but it seems to me that she specifically posted this to call out the racism and hypocrisy of having excess police presence/militarization at a protest about black people dying due to racism and excessive police force. This seems like an

At a time when we are witnessing our police become brazenly lawless against peaceful protesters, we should absolutely be screaming about all of these very alarming things that they are doing. Plus, I’m pretty sure Ellen Pompeo has previously spoken about racial justice, but go ahead with your snark, I guess.

Either the author isn’t fluent in Sarcasm, or they have some kind of other issue with Pompeo.

It’s definitely rhetorical, I’m in the middle of a self-hating Grey’s Anatomy binge rewatch and that’s classic Shonda Rhimes phrasing, she’s clearly been reading lines that way for so long that it’s become her own natural speech pattern.

..... Ellen, I really hope that’s a rhetorical question because the answer is extremely obvious.

I feel like it was pretty clear that Ellen’s question was rhetorical...

Funny how none of them “spoke up” when that obese waddling feeb hijacked their party and made a total mockery of it in the first place. They sat there smirking while he be-bopped and scatted all over common decency, but NOW they’re “asking questions”. Fuck them all, they threw all credibility away five years ago.

And the other 10% are when a bill has already been fully secured and her vote is not needed. Gotta keep up those appearances!

adding that perhaps conservatives might harness “the courage of our convictions and speak up.”

The media has a fetish for Susan Collins Lisa Murkowski’s guileless republican women act. Journalists love to invent a conscience for these women despite all evidence to the contrary. 

“I am struggling with it. I have struggled with it for a long time,”

Women who refer to themselves as mama bears might be even worse than the mommas lol

Y’all spent, I don’t know how many column inches misstating that the J.Crew bankruptcy meant they were going out of business, but this here is the main event. Gap is teetering on edge of insolvency, which for the less business literate of us, means they could be gone any minute. That means, Gap, BR, Old Navy, Athleta,

If the group has 38,000 members, it doesn’t seem like a huge deal to try to have a couple dozens mod, tbh.

This is perfectly true. The problem is, if a slogan creates an unintended ‘knee-jerk’ reaction, like ‘ALM’, then it’s not lading right for certain people.

They’re (initially) being threatened by it. And labeling them as ‘racist’ or anti-black just because they misunderstood the meaning, doesn’t help bridge the divide.

I didn’t realize she was ever “in”? (As in, awesome for her, but this is not news.) 

I did not know Da Brat hadn’t already come out.

So people can never improve, and if they try they should be slapped down?
