Any zombie movie that doesn't have hordes of people running towards the zombies to deliberately get bitten because they're convinced it's a liberal hoax is going to look pretty unrealistic now.

"Happy Father's Day to those rare Black fathers that are actually involved with their kids. Too many Black fathers just abandon their kids." 🤬🤦🏿‍♂️ Except... All the data shows that Black American fathers are *more* involved parents than Americans of other races. 🤔

Here's the entire interview with @kimlatricejones and David Jones Media. Take a second to watch the whole thing because she makes even greater points throughout the entire interview than she does in the viral clip that is circulating. Her Monopoly comparison is spot on.

Violent racist brutality against Black Americans that is ingrained into the very culture of policing. That is the magnitude of the problem we are facing. We have to call it what it is in order to understand what is required to address it. #DefundPolice #AbolitionNotReform

Racism is just fascism practiced on black people first. You saw how quickly they extended the circle of "unwanted people" to include journalists. How many notches away from unwanted, are you? What religion are you? What's your sexual orientation? Are you against fascism?

I think I appreciate musical artists, like Stevie Wonder or J.Dilla, but then I hear @Questlove talk about them, and wonder what my life would be like if I appreciated music in the way he does. xitter.cf/audible_com/status/989…
This unique, boundary pushing audiobook features original music by @Questlove and @TheRoots, with narration appearances from Fred Armisen, @BlackThought, Dion Flynn, @robinthede, Norm MacDonald, and more.

What can we do? Here are 4 things: 1. Go to @flippable_org & donate to an opponent of an NRA-backed rep 2. Donate to @Everytown 3. Do something nice for a stranger 4. Call a friend and talk about real shit. (Listen to @ttfapodcast ep if you need some inspo) #EnoughIsEnough

The question is not "how good is 4:44", the question is "why do you have a tidal subscription"... 🤔

This is truly scary. What kind of person makes an ad like this? xitter.cf/deray/status/880409739… – at Redwood City, CA
This NRA ad is an open call to violence to protect white supremacy. If I made a video like this, I'd be in jail.
