Mass drownings at sea are to the EU what mass shootings are to the US.

- It keeps happening.

- And every time it happens, politicians pretend to be concerned, yet keep in place the government policies at the root of the problem.

- So, it keeps happening.

Nailed it.

Born on July 4, 1844 in Albany NY, USA, the sculptor, Mary Edmonia Lewis, also known as Wildfire, made important contributions through her groundbreaking work and artistic vision. Overcoming adversity as a woman of mixed race at a time of racial prejudice and discrimination, Edmonia defied societal expectations about the capacity of her race and gender by skillfully blending neoclassical style with themes of Black & Native culture.

But if we hold ONE rich white man accountable for his crimes, what’s next? Holding SOME rich white men accountable for their crimes? Holding ALL rich white men accountable for their crimes? It’s a slippery slope.
So heartbroken that my long time Twitter friend Aunt Crabby has passed. She was part of the first resistance accounts with us on Twitter from 2016.
RIP my friend. We will get him I promise. πŸ™πŸ•―β€οΈπŸ˜žπŸ––πŸ˜žβ€οΈπŸ•―πŸ™πŸ™πŸ•―β€οΈβ€οΈπŸ˜žπŸ˜žπŸ˜žβ€οΈ

πŸ’” πŸ˜₯ We've lost a good one, folks:

#RIP @DearAuntCrabby

From her accounts:

"It is with deep sadness that I report to you that my Aunt Sybil, Aunt Crabby, has passed

Auntie wanted me to tell you that she loved you very much. Her greatest wish was to see Donald Trump atone for his crimes against Americans

This account will remain open for the near future"

Thank you everyone, but she's not MY auntie. She's everyone's. Her family posted this. We were pals since Early Twitter. This is beyond sad

I was promised a sci-fi future where robots would do all the menial tasks so that humans could focus on creating art and instead you assholes built robots to do the art so we all have to fight over the jobs doing menial tasks, good job.
