Anti-vaxx medical professionals are the scariest shit.

The idolization of Church in this app is annoying. I am happy you are happy to be at Church. Truly. I am not a fan. I love God. My faith is stronger than ever. Again— why do we believe this current iteration of institution is what Jesus had in mind?

It’s how they were raised

Nothing better than when a black woman you don’t know hypes you up for no reason. Stepped out of my car in the grocery store parking lot and a black woman says, “I see how you rolling up, sis,” looking at my car. Then she says, “do yo thang!” I need to start doing this to others.

Rittenhouse says: “This case has nothing to do with race. I am not a racist person.” Those are two entirely different issues. Rittenhouse may or may not be racist, I don’t know, but the case was definitely about race in that his whiteness mattered and white privilege saved him.

Stop believing that men are protectors of women and start asking who they need to protect us from. And why.

Happy Thanksgiving

I'll never skip over the judges section in my local elections ever again

referring to Christianity writ large as "that thing from VeggieTales?"

Good for abled people to read all these responses.

Jackson Public Schools announced that six schools are going ALL VIRTUAL this morning—but NOT because of COVID. They're going all virtual because they lack running water. Jackson, Mississippi, folks. A capital city in the richest nation on earth.

My heart broke for him. Not the way he wanted to finish out his collegiate cross country career. He’s OK, and showed a whole lot of heart. So proud of you Cooper…

I would say that this is the most common right wing take right now after the verdict. Lots of these tweets that somehow think Rittenhouse is going to bankrupt media outlets by suing them now. Just like OJ did after he was acquitted, right? These people are idiots.

@JoLuehmann Needed to hear/see this today Still having to undo that mindset as I raise my own kids who may eventually decide to date Thank you ;)

what if we started asking white evangelicals out for coffee to warn them about the dangers of participating in an institution saturated in white supremacy, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, white nationalism, islamaphobia, etc
