We need to stop racism and sexism and opt for nameism instead. How many assholes need to be named Ethan or Kyle before we start to do something about it.

Honest mistake but you should probably delete it while it’s still fresh.

Bernie, I don’t think saying β€œfight oligarchy” to a crowd of all the oligarchs children is as effective messaging as you think it is. You should be going to deep red states. Impoverished areas. The rich kids that are benefiting from all of this are not who’s going to help us. #coachella

Tech bros wanted to be artists so bad that they created robots to do it for them and their art still fucking sucks.

Said it before and I’ll say it again, Abolish ICE and probably the whole Department of Homeland Security. They were both made up when I was in High School and we were fine without them.

The black panthers weren’t considered dangerous until they gave free food to kids. Remember that. Mutual aid is the real way to disrupt.

I really loved this on a screener from my laptop so I can’t imagine how it hits in theaters. You’re in for a treat.

I agree. I don’t think cliches are necessarily a bad thing if they come about naturally. It’s obviously a problem if you’re just doing the cliche or trope just to do it. But sometimes stories call for broad emotional beats.
