AKA natasharesists on that birdsite. I’m here to resist the Trumpist kleptocracy, whatever it takes. I hang with @IronMan, #HeroesResist, and other friends.

As a general rule, I don’t boost quote tweets copied from . It’s not because I’m mean, but because I came here to get away from there.

I’m a Marvel fan and I like my #shawarma with lots of toum.

PoliticsYes, lots
CatsVery much so

I'm sure a lot of Trumpers and insensitive jerks are going to flip out about a brand name change of a product that they probably never think about or use, but the story behind this is way racist and it should have been done a long time ago.

Change is good, though. Change comes from speaking up. Always speak up.

End Cash Bail now.
2/3 of Prisoners in California haven't been convicted but wait in jail because they can't afford bail - the rich folks, of course, are not among them. If you're stuck in jail you can't defend yourself, so the outcome is predetermined against the poor. The system is predatory. It's why "we have the best justice system money CAN BUY" it needs to end. Bail Bondsmen are part of the Prison industrial Complex. https://bit.ly/2YFmQ4h

First, it's a welcome sight to see protests everywhere and going still.

But why do the counter protesters get to pack guns and hide behind the flag and nothing happens? If a bunch of armed BLM protesters started moving toward a police line, all hell would break loose.

When important votes come up in Congress, the 700,00 citizens in D.C. have no Senators or House Rep they can call to voice their opinion.

It's time for the rest of us to stand up for them& give them a voice.

Contact your House Rep& tell them that D.C. deserves Statehood!

Activism can sometimes take the form of contacting dictionary editors. Words are important, and I'd say lexicographers are more aware of that than most people.

Drake University graduate Kennedy Mitchum, 22, has convinced Merriam-Webster editors to update the definition of #racism to emphasize systemic racism, a concept that many white people evidently need to have defined.

Merriam-Webster Is Updating Its Definition of <em>Racism</em> to Emphasize Systemic Prejudice

After sending Merriam-Webster a series of emails, Kennedy Mitchum convinced the dictionary to revise its entry for 'racism' to better emphasize the systemic aspects.

@IronMan

I didn’t either but let me take a guess that he did nothing, made a massive show about it, took a side against Americans, and took a shot at a Democrat.
