Too often us white people don't say anything when another Black person is killed by another cop because we don't know exactly what to say but, really, no one has to know exactly what to say

.@TrevorNoah and the team at @TheDailyShow get it: Anti-trans bills are not only transphobic, they’re also sexist, groundless, absurd and cruel.

One of the hardest realizations for anyone trying to overcome childhood trauma is either finally accepting that their parents’ could’ve done better to make them feel loved and protected, or finally understanding that the fragments they got were the best their parents had to give.
While Walmart refuses to raise its $11 minimum wage, Alice Walton had no problem purchasing a $500 million private art collection, buying a $25 million 2-floor Park Avenue condo with 52 windows and acquiring a $22 million 4,400-acre Texas ranch. Something is very wrong here.
If Rob Walton, a key owner of Walmart, can afford an estimated $226 million for an antique car collection that includes 12 Ferraris, 6 Porsches, 2 Maseratis and a 1963 Corvette Grand Sport Roadster, you know what? Walmart can afford to pay at least $15/hour to all of its workers.
$15 min wage: "can't afford that"
$2,000 checks: "can't afford that"
Universal health care: "can't afford that"
Bailout out small businesses: "can't afford that'
Paid leave: "can't afford that"
Bombing the Middle East yet again: "why yes, we have $750 billion a year for that"
I have this radical lefty belief that we shouldn’t spend $1,700,000,000,000 on a failed F-35 fighter jet program when 94% of public school teachers are forced to spend their own money on school supplies.
