From my father’s side of the family, I’m a child of an immigrant and a person of color; from my mother’s side of the family I am the descendant of one of the biggest New England slave trading families in the 1700's.

The Death star wasn’t a hive of scum and villainy at all.

“They came in presumably with a parent or parents, and so the correct policy is for us to enforce federal law and deport the whole family to the home country,” he said on CNN.

Why do you love what America stands for? It’s only ever stood for racism and exploitation.

White supremacists have been an existential threat to POC since this country’s inception? They have been an existential threat to anyone not white and Protestant since before the United States existed. Let us not forget that it was a debate on whether Catholics and Jews would be allowed to vote in the US - Black…

On the ground in Houston for just a few hours, Trump cracked jokes as he fumbled his way through crowds.

It’s not that difficult, Time Mag, Jessica Chastain: the people fighting Nazis, are NOT morally equivalent to the Nazis, even if they sometimes get violent. They are defending themselves against people who want to exterminate them and half the population. Why is this so fucking difficult for people? Why don’t people…
