Florida State University is on lockdown after an active shooter was reported on campus.

We go to college to continue our education and pursue our dreams, not to shelter in place during an active shooter situation. We deserve to be safe in our schools. www.tallahassee.com/story/news/l...

White liberal Americans: Seriously spare me y'all's feelings

Marginalized people have known that America has been a fucking lie for 200 years

So go cry to y'all's mama or something.

I will be fighting and surviving to help my people

Sorry you feel some of those feelings. But spare me the liberal outrage that your symbolic power has been reduced by the senior partner in your government.

We have been fair game for a while now. Remember that Global War on Terror? It's been on for decades.

Remember how 200,000+ Palestinians have been mowed down for over a year with barely a wrinkle on the world stage?

Remember how Black people have been calling to make their lives MATTER?

To White liberal Americans who are extremely upset today:

I'm a Muslim immigrant of color who has watched Palestinians be exterminated for a year+.

I am unable to marshal feelings of outrage at symbolic events in your corridors of power.

LRT: We live in a country where they elected a sexual predator so of course few men care about misogyny in sports media.

Nobody gives not one fucking damn about being decent and respectful towards Women

That enrages me

A woman filed a lawsuit accusing several high ranking men at FOX Sports of sexually harassing multiple women, and all the internet cares about is the single woman who's accused of using sex to get her job.

The misogyny in sports culture is so rampant.

Unless someone knows differently (in which case I'll edit) I think these are the strike funds for Starbucks and Amazon workers:

Anyone know if Ann Selzer has a legal defense fund we can contribute to?
Gannett, owner of the Des Moines Register, won’t publicly commit to paying legal costs for Ann Seltzer, the pollster being sued by Trump.

This is ominous, especially in light of the capitulation last week by Disney/ABC, which is vastly better resourced than Gannett.

This Christmas, be more like Christ: ally with sex workers, the poor, and the disabled. Love them without expectations of anything in return.

Sesame Street is in trouble.

It's teaching kids education and learning to be good people

But in a country ran by greedy bloodthirsty selfish assholes this is to be expected, sadly.

When Amazon or whoever say that we need "love" that's a copout to me.

It's a copout to doing any actual work towards making things better for Marginalized people. It's an excuse to hide under something everyone can agree with

It's a crock, we need humanity decency and some fucking respect first
That Amazon commercial where the guy sings "what the world needs now is love."

What the world ACTUALLY needs now is unionized labor and courageous journalism.

You could have left out NYPD and said all cops because Hollywood does a great job in making folks think cops are competent when in reality cops are FAR from competent
The most successful propaganda campaign in American history is the 1000s of hours of Television and Movies that depict the NYPD as competent police officers
NYPD mistook this bike for an electric Citi Bike, told the media and public, then chased its own bad info to the Upper East Side. Per NYT, this afternoon cops "gathered at a Citi Bike kiosk on Madison Ave and 82nd... asking doormen... for video footage that may have captured the bike rack."
