y’all jill ellis may have dicked up more times than anyone can care to count but she did give us the iconic “We need a bitch… get Kelley” and for that i’ll be grateful
i dont think whites understand how being white makes literally everything easier.
it effects everything.
being trans is easier when youre white.
being gay is easier when youre white.
being disabled is easier when youre white.
being a woman is easier when youre white.
being autistic is easier when youre white.
oppression is eased when you are white, as you get extra privileges, and your whiteness is seen as a positive characteristic that in some ways counter-balances your other forms of being a minority. whiteness controls everything.
you are automatically way more innocent in your own oppression as a gay, trans, disabled person because of your whiteness.
I Think an important thing that people genuinely forget is that white privilege doesn’t mean that being white means your life is never hard. No one’s here to make that claim. White privilege only means that your race won’t make thinks any harder, and it’s very important to make that distinction before you start wining that white people have it hard too. We know. But you will always have it just that little bit less hard because of your privilege.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) confronted a CEO Thursday for pricing a drug designed to reduce the risk of HIV transmission at $8 in Australia but over $1,500 in the U.S.
“You’re the CEO of Gilead. Is it true that Gilead made $3 billion in profits from Truvada in 2018?” Ocasio-Cortez asked Gilead CEO Daniel O'Day.
“$3 billion in revenue,” he clarified.
The current list price is $2,000 a month in the United States, correct?“ she asked, referring to Truvada.
“It’s $1,780 in the United States,” O'Day responded.
“Why is it $8 in Australia?” Ocasio-Cortez countered.
“Truvada still has patent protection in the United States and in the rest of the world it is generic,” O'Day explained, adding, “It will be generically available in the United States as of September 2020.”
“I think it’s important here that we notice that we the public, we the people, developed this drug. We paid for this drug, we lead and developed all the patents to create Prep and then that patent has been privatized despite the fact that the patent is owned by the public, who refused to enforce it,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
“There’s no reason this should be $2,000 a month. People are dying because of it and there’s no enforceable reason for it.”
Honestly if a white girl was casted to play Ariel nobody would have gave a shit about her ethnicity being danish but because a black girl was casted all of the sudden people are anthropologists and experts in danish culture just admit ur racist already that’s 10x easier than this back and forth
Jill is going off rn. Like psycho mode sicko. Like kriegs and press getting playing time? Press getting a full game? Has she been drinking smart bitch water?
Christen Press of the USA celebrates after scoring her team’s first goal during the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup France Semi Final match between England and USA at Stade de Lyon on July 02, 2019 in Lyon, France.
man this article really highlights how far the game has come yet all the catching up that still needs to happen. this part here was like a sucker punch to the chest. obviously it’s great that the uswnt are so highly paid - but when juxtaposed to the argentina player it just hurts how unbalanced the game is. I really truly hope this tournament is a turning point, because it’s just awful that the men are paid £200k a week yet some of these women can’t afford to get through the month :(
