Black kids in Atlanta got put on lockdown so they couldn’t leave school during the #NationalWalkoutDay and what did they do? THEY KNEELED. They were barred from the same sort of freedom to exercise their rights that students in other places across the country have and they FOUND A WAY. Black Youth are always finding a way.

I had to excuse myself and go shed a few tears because 1) I’m proud of all the kids across the country but 2) the fact that an APS school PUT THE SCHOOL ON LOCKDOWN so those kids couldn’t PROTEST FOR THEIR LIVES breaks my heart and 3) the fact that they rose above it and the symbolism of kneeling comes back into play?

Instant tears.

this is what i mean when i say “actually tolerance isn’t all that bad” this guy says several times that he doesn’t understand and even is uncomfortable, but that that isn’t what matters. imo, that’s how tolerance works.

People don’t understand that when you grow up poor, you don’t have access to anything. My father, when his gallbladder was bothering him and he had an infection, he had to get up, walk three miles to the hospital in 12 degree weather. Got to the hospital to sit for another five hours, before the doctor said, “You gotta go home. You look like you’re a drug addict.” He leaves the hospital, he walks three miles back home, he sits for another three days, before gangrene starts setting in. Then he walks back to the hospital and they finally admitted him.

Two healthcare lies conservatives have gotten people to believe:

1. That if government pays for your healthcare (through taxes, obviously) this means that government will dictate your healthcare in an aggressive and authoritarian way; and

2. That somehow insurance companies, by paying for your healthcare (through premiums and copays, among other factors) don’t ever dictate your healthcare in an aggressive and authoritarian way.

That’s why people are worried about government “death panels,” but not about the approvals specialists at insurance companies who decide if you’re eligible for a particular service or not – and who function, therefore, as death panels, but without public oversight and answering only to the financial bottom line.

“…we have been taught either to ignore our differences, or to view them as causes for separation and suspicion rather than as forces for change. Without community there is no liberation, only the most vulnerable and temporary armistice between an individual and her oppression. But community must not mean a shedding of our differences, nor the pathetic pretense that these differences do not exist.” – Audre Lorde

Don’t forget that women of color and trans women (and especially trans women of color) receive even higher sentences for hurting/killing in self-defense against abusive partners than cis and/or white women.

No, Donald Trump is wrong. At the debate, he repeatedly interrupted Hillary Clinton to lie about things that are on video. The media can’t let this fly.
