“I’m starting to get pissed the f-ck off not gonna lie to you, because at the end of the day if it was a 6’8” f-cking Chad that asked you that you would figure out a way to hang out so I’m a little f-cking pissed. Not at you but at the whole f-cking blackpill itself. You know what blackpill is?”

NEW: @ATFHQ is supposed to regulate the gun industry and protect the American public from gun crime. But the agency often falls short of that mandate.
@AlainStephens explains why this is no accident in the latest episode of The Gun Machine with @WBUR: thetr.ac/HhYRE

The pantsuit hurricane that we totally failed to prepare for because we gave all our money to the cops is the perfect San Diego metaphor
Affirmative Action was a tool to balance *any* under represented group of ppl in an institution.
Has been used by everyone, including and mostly by white people.
But bcuz Black people also could benefit: it must be destroyed. 🙃
YT ppl will cut off their own nose off...
Want to understand gun violence?
