Y’all get what this is, right? Just by touching you with these gloves, cops can literally force your body to involuntarily spasm in a way that looks enough like “resisting arrest” on a bodycam video to justify beating your brains out & shooting you dead consequence-free

If you have to chase a woman? She doesn't want you. The first 2 or 3 rejections aren't playing hard to get. She doesn't want to date you. If she goes out with so you'll leave her alone? That's not developing attraction. That's pity & quite possibly fear. This is a PSA

[Clint Smith @ClintSmithIII]

Today is a good day to remember that *criminality* is a largely subjective concept & that someone being “a criminal” does not then mean they deserve to be treated with cruelty. Let’s not make our empathy contingent on the racist & reductive notion of “good” & “bad” immigrants.

@Kantrowitz Why not take a photo of the children and put them into an encrypted database for lawyers and detainees. If I can search Amazon for socks amongst millions (not to mention the filters) than this shouldn't be that hard. #ReuniteTheFamilies

Texas Judge: "I can’t understand this. If someone at the jail takes your wallet, they give you a receipt. They take your kids, and you get nothing? Not even a slip of paper?" https://t.co/oo7oLl2L2w

Since the president is lying about this, I'll reiterate that we obtained internal CBP documents that show that ****91%**** of parents whose kids are taken away are being prosecuted for misdemeanor FIRST TIME entry.

If you are keeping the energy of old relationships active and alive, new ones can’t show up. Cosmic law.

Y’all are referring to rape and abuse as “mistakes” so I already know what y’all be on

[little miss anxious attachment @tdouble_u]

News flash: niggas can’t grow if y’all tapdance around holding them accountable for every fucking thing.

[little miss anxious attachment @tdouble_u]

This fallacy of guaranteed maturation is a hill y’all steady dying on.

[little miss anxious attachment @tdouble_u]

You niggas speak of growth and redemption as if it’s a guarantee, and will spend your entire lives prioritizing men’s POTENTIAL to change over the lived realities of the women they abuse right here today. Fuck you. https://t.co/wWQBXUuKus

Y’all gonna protect that nigga’s ghost more than you do Black women and that’s the fucking tea.

I could never support XXXtentacion or his music because of the accusations of abusing women and his actions surrounding them. But in the same breath, I could never make light or make fun of his tragic murder.
