Breaking! The MN House just voted to remove the ‘severe or pervasive’ threshold by a 113-10 vote!

This threshold is an arbitrary barrier that has stopped too many victims from getting justice.

All of these are terrorist incidents.

We have a responsibility to understand how white supremacy + online radicalization works, because it is impacting our entire society.

President Trump defunded Federal programs designed to fight the spread of white supremacist hate groups.

If youre angry about the college cheating scandal wait till you hear that public school budgets are determined by local property taxes and that the rich cordon themselves off into segregated municipalities to hoard resources from poor communities of color who get stuck w charters

CONVERSATION I JUST HAD:

ME: Two Thin Mints please

GIRL SCOUT: That’ll be $10. Or you can get four boxes for $20!

ME (gentle): Um, that’s not a savings

GIRL SCOUT (NOT gentle): NO ONE SAID IT WAS

...

ME: Four boxes would be great.

Let's be clear: the attempted ban on transgender service members is based on reasoning that has been thoroughly dismissed by medical organizations, military leadership, and budget analysts. Its sole purpose is to erase trans people from the public square. That's all this is.

The custodian at the community center where I teach carries a lunch box full of chocolate that he shares with all staff daily. He noticed that I always chose the dark chocolate, so now he makes a point to buy some for me. 😭❤️

The most wholesome thing to happen to me in 2018 is my mom and I alternating playing our favorite Janelle Monae and Prince songs for each other while wrapping Christmas gifts
