Police have used pepper spray on elected officials (NYC + Ohio), shot rubber bullets at people observing protests from their apartment (LA) and attacked people walking home from the store (Dallas).
A militarized police force will terrorize a community more than any protest.
This is heartbreaking. This should fill you with rage. Oluwatoyin Salau was a young Black woman who became a visible figure and voice supporting the BLM movement against racism and police brutality in Tallahassee -- even while coping with insecure housing.
Don't forget her name.
Oluwatoyin “Toyin” Salau
Rest in Power Angel 💔

after tweeting about her sexual assault she went missing for several days and her body was recently found. She was only 19.
My landlord just waived rent for the month and is open to doing the same or charging us less through summer. This is the only property she owns and I know she's not rich.
I haven't cried out of relief like this in so long. Wish NY would guarantee this kind of relief to all.
SOME GOOD THINGS OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD RIGHT NOW:
- Dems took the House
- Trans rights were upheld in MA
- Kris Kobach ate shit
- Voting rights were restored to people convicted of felonies in FL
These victories count and will make a difference for millions of people.
When I was about 5 my parents ordered "tres leches" at a restaurant and I told the waitress "Make it dos, I don't want any."
My mom *still* makes fun of me for it.
I will not apologize for believing Jussie Smollett and I will never stop believing survivors of hate. The burden of proof weighs heavily on them, particularly if they are black and/or queer, and I would rather be proven wrong than cast doubt on those in need of help and support.
PUERTO RICO IS NOT UR FUCKING TOOL TO "GET BACK AT" REPUBLICANS BY INCLUDING THEM IN THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
PUERTO RICO IS NOT D.C.
PUERTO RICO IS A COLONIZED NATION.
IF UR NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE LENGTHY HISTORY OF PUERTO RICANS DEBATING INDEPENDENCE V. STATEHOOD, KINDLY STFU.
You guys don’t understand...
I met
@waltermercadotv
today & gave me a 🇵🇷cape.
That’s it, we’re done here, there’s nothing left to be said,

I will never consult with a straight friend if cast as a straight romantic lead. That is my promise to you. You will get my closest approximation to heterosexuality and you will love it.
Cops with no masks. Physically harassing people celebrating Pride. So trigger happy they're likely pepper spraying eachother.
This is on you
@NYCMayor
. This is your NYPD.
Joining SAG and was told I can't spell my name correctly (González) because "á" is a "special character" in their system.
The folks I spoke to were lovely, but it's nuts I can't register my "professional" name the way it should be spelled.
Abusive men have a habit of making grand gestures in public at the expense of the person they're "apologizing" to.
Anybody involved in enabling this attempt at emotional manipulation should be ashamed and endlessly dragged.
This account started going viral last night for tweeting about the SOTU.
A quick glance at the account's tweets sound... obviously fake. Like, she *only* tweets about Trump and spells it "oppressin"? Something is off.
But I wanted to do a quick reverse image search to be sure.
Tonight I've seen video of the NYPD opening a door from a moving vehicle to strike a protester and push another young woman to the ground so hard she reportedly suffered a seizure and is in the ER.
Fuck the NYPD. I mean that with every fiber of my being. Defund and abolish it.
The issue is not that every Latinx project needs to "represent us all" (plenty don't) or that "people won't let Latinos win."
But if a movie takes place in (and is titled after!) one of the most prominent Black Dominican neighborhoods in the U.S. — shouldn't it center those ppl?
This is the first time I've ever shared this and I'm shaking as I type this but I'm tired of keeping it myself.
I was sexually assaulted at a Pride party in 2014 behind a U-Haul at a "radical, queer" event.
I have no memory of the assault because I was blackout drunk.
god these are fantastic. i want to make one that's like
"NEWS REPORTER
i drive a HONDA
i eat RAMEN NOODLES
and i like LAX PUBLIC RECORDS LAWS
if you don't like it
MOVE"
Haven't shaved in two weeks. I'm at a crucial juncture and relying on the internet to affirm me/my choices, as is gay custom.
Do I shave entirely or cultivate a new monster above my top lip?
Before this primary I got to sit down with
@Ocasio2018
.
She was gracious, engaged, incisive and inspiring. Most importantly, she cares about representing the needs of her community.
She was ready to do the "impossible" then. It's happening now.
HOLY WUT the video I directed for
@REMEZCLA
on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was featured on
@TheDailyShow
this week! 😱
We made this with a three-person, all Latinx crew so YEAH I'M GONNA BE LOUD AND EXCITED ABOUT THIS.
The true gag is seeing a white gay who came at me with "stop overreacting Trump won't be that bad" in 2016 standing behind a "Fuck Trump" rainbow sign with his friends at Pride this year.
Told ya, sweaty. 😘
Surprise! This isn't "Misha" a "black trans qween" in Inglewood.
The photo being used is a photoshopped image of Charlene Jacqueline Arcila-Ecks, founder of the largest trans health conference in the U.S. She passed away in 2015.
This honestly just sounds like a white dude performing a bad stereotype of what he thinks AAVE sounds like.
Which... explains why a lot of Trump supporters bought it.
If there's ever another live action Addams Family they should be deeply superstitious Puerto Rican Catholics who live in a haunted brownstone uptown and I HAVE IDEAS.
This person likely just googled "black trans women," grabbed a pic, photoshopped some bad makeup onto them and THOUGHT NO ONE WOULD NOTICE???
This isn't just offensive and disrespectful to Arcila's legacy... it's dumb. Please report this account as a fake.
This is a headline in the news TODAY. Straight people actually think this.
I don't want to relitigate Twitter drama, but perpetuating this idea is dangerous. Joking about it requires a clarity of purpose and an awareness of how non-LGBTQ audiences perceive this stereotype.
Lin Manuel walking Michelle Williams to the stage is giving the strongest Gay Best Friend energy despite his unfortunate heterosexuality. ALSO BUSY PHILLIPS!
