Social media is 🔥 garbage this morning. Trump's post is trope, and the comparison of Black people to apes is one of the oldest and most harmful racist tropes in modern history. Tropes stay alive thru circulation. So pls don't reshare the trope. Name it and replace it with humanity.

STOP posting Trump's video about the Obamas. This is racist trope and it becomes normalized when you spread it like wild fire. Post about Obamas and their HUMANITY

Red vs blue — without the shouting. A liberal and a conservative sit down to ask whether justice comes from fixing systems… or replacing them.

Morning headlines Me:

This is part of the training to become a member of the military. Now… can we refocus on WHAT UNLAWFUL ORDERS ARE BEING GIVEN?!

Ok I understand the gravity and dangers of appointing unqualified people to powerful positions, but y’all… as someone who has had to read a lot of court opinions, I cannot stop laughing at this #jamescomey #yikes #getoutmycourtroomfool
