    I was skeptical until I verified these clippings at . In 1934, influential religious figures in US argued that Germans did not hate Jews but only supported Hitler out of economic anxiety, & that Jews would be fine if they'd just be civil to Nazis & show good will.

    Okay. I've found it. The absolute culmination of the "we have to build bridges with the far right" argument.

    No matter who is in office, the fate of queer children is surviving the folks who are supposed to love us the most. F*** politics. Rest in power

    Consider this: if a single person retiring puts all lgbtq people in the country at risk of future legal oppression, there is something deeply flawed with that country.

    I understand why third party voters and progressives are an easy target for the failing Democratic Party, but that’s exactly why they’re failing.

    Fair enough. But did you lose sleep over the mass deportations, family separations, historic loss of civil liberties, war crimes, kids killed by remote control drones and coups that occurred on Obama/Hillary’s watch?

    Honestly I just hope that everyone who voted for Jill Stein or didn't vote at all for whatever righteous reasons you may have had, will take a moment to reflect on the consequences of that choice and honestly ask if their pride was worth it.

    Is comforted by the fact of black and brown presence. The fact of our bodies existing. For centuries of todays and tomorrows. Because of the ancestors in us we know what resistance feels like, because they/we exist. Here. Now.

    ...Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just triggered an 8.0 earthquake. The AP assumes you don't know her name yet, but soon everyone will. Tonight is an object lesson in the power of organizing--and fearlessness.

    This photo is from Nov. 14, 2017. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 28, was then working as a bartender. Less than a year later, she defeated the likely next Speaker of the House, and will almost certainly be the youngest woman ever elected to Congress

    • Individualism. Many white people don't associate w/ a collective “white experience,” instead relying on their personal frames of reference. This ideology also furthers the notion that racism is an exception to the rule, carried out in single acts of discrimination.

    • New after the movement. DiAngelo illustrates that racism, like many systems of oppression, has not disappeared or receded, but adapted. By claiming or not seeing race, white people deny the reality of people of color.
