I saw a asian girl today who was wearing this shirt. We were crossing the same crosswalk in opposite directions and she was gone by the time I overcame my shock. Because she wasn't white I think she was wearing it in ignorance of African history and the historic white supremacy of British colonists in Zimbabwe. To say nothing of the featured toxic masculinity. I found the design here on teespring, but similar ones were available from a number of other websites. @teespring should be ashamed to sell this shirt. They shouldn't profit from racism or people's ignorance of racism in history. (at Redmond, Washington)

Donald Trump and the Lead Generations

It seems lately that the sky is falling on American politics. We have two parties in chaos and a totally dysfunctional political system. Some have taken to comparing in the rise of Donald Trump to the movie Idiocracy.

I had a crazy weekend in Vegas. National TV, Shaking @berniesanders hand, and not knowing how I was going to get home among the exciting parts. But it's was getting to see @capitanaphoenix that made it all worthwhile. I hope the campaign gives you a couple of days off after this weekend Evin! Also a shout out to all the people who were in Vegas with me whom are too numerous to effectively tag. #latergram #feelthebern #notmeus (at Bernie Sanders 2016 Campaign UNLV Field Office)
