Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

I've been trying to understand why I feel the particular flavor of distressed that I do right now. I think it's because we can no longer discuss the lessons we should be learning from any kind of disaster without the worst chucklefucks coming out of the woodwork to wreck everything.

As Trump speaks now, why does he bother? He could assign his statements a number (because he always says the same thing.) Then he could save time by saying ‘1, 3, 7’ though I guess it would be a much longer list.

December 1st: a day to honor Rosa Parks and her courageous stand for justice. Today in 1955, she refused to give up her seat on a bus in AL, sparking a movement that changed history. Let us carry her spirit of resistance with us. Thank you, Rosa, for showing us the power of standing firm. #Resist
