This Incredibly Pure And Important 

Anyway, good morning to Brie Larson and Tessa Thompson and Zendaya and all the other women in the MCU who were relentlessly harrassed for years since the moment their casting was announced, all while not a single white male cast stood up within HOURS to defend them. Good morning to yall only.

Now for the rest of you crusty crabs....

Black kids deserve to be treated like kids.

Black kids deserve to be able to grow up at their own pace instead of being held to adult standards as children.

Black kids deserve to grow up without fear that white adults will somehow feel “threatened” by them and make them suffer for it.

Black kids deserve a safe place to unload their thoughts and feelings without being belittled or punished for it.

Black kids deserve a support system.

Black kids deserve to be taken seriously.

Black kids deserve to take up space.

The thrilling story of how my date @stopsneezingonme and I went to prom as the Obamas from the 36th Kennedy Center Honors Gala (to his conservative parents’ disapproval)

“After George Floyd’s death and the protests that followed, I felt that as an Asian-American, a Korean-American person, I wanted to express my support for the Black community in a way that felt personal to my community […] It’s in a royal purple colour – which is a super Korean colour and brings a certain mindset for me – and it says ‘Black Lives Are Precious’ in Korean writing, because the literal translation of Black Lives Matter is impossible in Korean.”

Happy Mean Girls Day (2018)! October 3rd falls on a Wednesday this year so we wear pink. Dress accordingly!

The boot lickers really like to correct two points:

Breonna Taylor was not sleep when she was shot: true, she was awoken by the battering ram used to crash her door in at 1am.

Police didn't shoot first: also true. Kenneth shot an officer in the leg when they entered and, naturally, because they're all scared incompetent knobs, they responded in a hail of bullets, eight of which entered Breonna.

The cops claim to have knocked and announced themselves. This is a lie. No neighbors heard them announce themselves. Furthermore, they obtained a no-knock warrant specifically for the sole purpose of carrying out a drug raid by catching a drug dealer off guard and forcibly entering without warning (such as a knock and announcement). They wanted that specific warrant so much they misrepresented evidence to a judge to get it. So they did all that and got a warrant saying they did not have to knock or announce themselves and then just went on ahead and did it anyway? Cause they're just so polite?

They were also in civilian clothing and either not wearing body cams or had them turned off. So I'm not even sure how their word was just taken on all that.

They have indicted ONE cop for something that had nothing to do with her murder, it was for endangering the lives of OTHER residents by opening fire inside of an apartment complex.

A reminder that the person they were looking for, Breonna's ex-boyfriend, was already in custody at the time they murdered her.

A reminder that the mail investigator or whoever they claimed to get a tip from to get the warrant said they lied.

A reminder that the cops submitted an almost blank report with blatant lies, including that Breonna was not injured.

A reminder the prosecution tried to get Breonna's ex-boyfriend to implicate her in his crimes in April, after they had killed her.

A reminder that because of Breonna's case, no-knock warrants are no longer allowed in Louisville (but they knocked right?)

A reminder that the city settled out of court for $12M in the wrongful death suit, so they possibly feared losing in court and paying more.
