Amber Ruffin had a special message for all of the “white Hillary supporters who are feeling disappointed in their fellow Americans today.”

Black people have been feeling this way FOREVER!

never forget that instagram was able to delete the snake emojis from Taylor Swift’s comments, but not the racist monkey emojis in Normani’s

or all the other racist and sexist stuff people keep pulling

This excellent visual representation of that old scam, “trickle down economics”, has been all over Twitter recently.

And then the glass on top gets too big and too full and all the other little glasses below it break and then they all shatter.

And the big glass blames the little glasses for not working hard enough to hold it up.

East Chicago, Indiana, residents forced to leave their homes over dangerous lead levels in the soil.

Hundreds of residents in East Chicago, Indiana, are leaving after discovering that the soil around their homes contains dangerous levels of lead.

The Environmental Protection Agency found that the West Calumet Housing Complex has registered lead concentrations in the soil that are beyond 1,200 parts per million, according to the Times of Northwest Indiana. 

Upon learning that “hundreds of children suffer from excessive levels of lead in their blood” after performing preliminary tests, Mayor Anthony Copeland later announced that residents will be moving from the housing complex.

East Chicago, Indiana, is just one of the many cities around the nation with dangerously high levels of lead that is facing challenges of unclean water. Here are a few.

This is glorious and even thought it doesn’t fit in the range of all the paranormal, I MUST share

It works like this: You tell Kitestring that you’re in a dangerous place or situation, and give it a time frame of when to check in on you. If you don’t reply back when it checks your status, it’ll alert your emergency contacts with a custom message you set up.

It doesn’t require you to touch anything (like bSafe) or shake your phone (like Nirbhaya) to send the distress signal. Kitestring is smarter, because it doesn’t need an action to alert people, it needs inaction.

[softcore-boyfriend-deactivated2]

This shouldn’t even be an app this should be an integrated feature into all phones on every OS

[camyberry]

Ok, guys. Thi is really important. You have to reblog that and read the whole article.

This will never happen to me.  You can’t tell. Otherwise, if you don’t want to do for yourself, maybe among your follwers someone need this information.

I’m a man, i don’t care. You should care the more. What if it was your sister? Again, spread the word. There may be someone needingths.

You can never tell. As far as we can’t handle back maniacs, PLEASE, prevent yourself <3

I’d rather teach my daughter how to embrace her wild than teach her how to be ashamed of her body or how to feel guilty for being a woman.

Hypermasculinity in the black community is so sickening. Most men don’t even know how to have emotions without negatively being labeled gay.

[the-real-eye-to-see]

I am really sorry for this man and his family… This is a real tragedy…. Not only because this man was killed, but because this hatred directed against Muslims, has reached its peak! These people are not safe anymore! They are suspected of terrorism just because of a few thugs!

People say all these words and bad things to Muslims, but what about themselves?

#Justice4Khalid #KhalidJabara #Islamophobia

[maneyer]

He wasn’t even a muslim. I think that makes it worse, tbh

[the-real-eye-to-see]

YYEEEESSSS, THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO SAY! HE WAS CHRISTIAN! But still every Arab is seen as Muslim and terrorist! Even if he is a Christian! People why don’t you understand!

Don’t forget about #Flint. If you want to help: check out helpforflint.com

It is just unconscionable that this could be allowed to happen and all I hear in national news outlets is about well off folks some billionaires trying to gain more power. Clean water is a basic human right! It’s a damn shame some go without. #Hate it!
