I’ve been working in social movements for two decades. I’ve volunteered thousands of hours to social movements. I’ve been part of groups that have created successful programs to keep people out of jail. I’ve worked inside and outside of the system. I have also been arrested many times protesting state violence.

List the non-Black celebrities? What is the point? I’m not saying there are non-Black celebrities that are any better. I have a problem with celebrities advocating for change or waving a social justice flag but not willing to put the work in.

I don't understand the reasoning behind not letting adults who don't have HPV get vaccinated. It's preventative medicine.

I’m HPV-negative, but I’m over the age to have the vaccine. I don’t even know if a doctor would give me the vaccine or if insurance would cover it, but if I could, I’d go get vaccinated. Anyone in a similar situation been allowed to get the shots?

My problem with Bey and Jay is that they’re using social movements to sell their brand while never actually putting themselves out there. Beyonce is all Black Panthers now. Straight up using their style to perform at the Super Bowl. The Black Panthers were anti-capitalist. I hardly think they would have supported

Direct Action. Putting their lives on the line. Getting their hands dirty doing the work in their communities. Creating and running programs to feed and educate their community. Risking their lives to confront oppressive institutions. They were also incredibly anti-capitalist which makes Beyonce’s use of BP-like

Is it just me or are folks on kinja having an especially difficult time with reading comprehension today?

I made the strange decision, while waiting for my family members to finish up in a museum, to read the museum shops copy of “King Leopold’s Ghost”. In public, in a chair in the museum shop. I’m pretty sure I just spent the 40 minutes or whatever with my jaw on the floor. Positive is that I got through a decent chunk

Yes, your point - one that eclipses and disregards the primary causal arrangement that prompted the update in legislation.

The collective cynicism here generated around this topic is completely undue.

Nooo, the cheatEE does “Cry Me A River,” not the cheatER. She would be doing Brit’s “Everytime” in this situation.

I think the “me” is Tom Hiddleston. The song is written from his point of view, because Calvin Harris is such an inspired auteur

Wow, someone finally beat Taylor to the punch.

This. It’s a major problem at all European festivals, not just Bråvalla. Swedes report more rapes/sexual assaults in general and record them differently.

Why do I get the feeling the only difference between Bravalla and other massive festivals like Glastonbury is that theses cases were reported rather than the action of sexual assault itself.

And (hopefully) fake tattoos with my initial in a heart are de rigeur for any new relationship I’m in. I think Swift has finally found someone as thirsty as her. Hiddleston is practically dehydrated.

If the FDA would like to recommend a better way to eat my feelings I’d love to hear it.

Who wants to WATCH A VIDEO just to SEE A PIC

You are an adult (presumably) and as such you are allowed to like or not like any Hollywood celeb you so choose.

Full Frontal has the same zany fury that permeated the Daily Show, but even better. Samantha Bee is a genius.
