How many videos of police sanctioned violence do we need to see before the people accept that this is a systemic and institutional problem and not just a "few bad apples"

And here's a second that focuses more on defunding the police as a better alternative to police reform in context of the #8CantWait

Here's a twitter thread on why #8CantWait calls for superficial reforms that have shown to not be effective in the departments that already have them employed:

John Smith Never forget that they aged up Pocahontas for the movie so that they could make John Smith a white savior + sexy love interest and make him not look nearly as creepy. It is a crime that he survived both Kocoum and Nakoma and it is truly punishment for me for not cutting him when I had the chance just because I assumed somebody else would. Glad that Disney decided that we needed a white man to understand that Native Americans are beautiful people with beautiful culture. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him.

I went to bed early because I'm finally back at work and all of you for letting me cut John Smith although I would have been fine with any of you cutting him before I woke up!!!

As it is right now, the law enforcement does not work to “protect and serve” the communities. And as the police were established in the US that’s never been their job. As it’s been shown since Ferguson reforms do not work and often serve to funnel in more funds to the police. There are still around a thousand people killed by police each year and that number often includes hundreds of black people. We have seen at the protests that police do not care to de-escalate situations or protests and are gleefully violent. And it’s not just one city or even one part of the country that has this issue, it is nationwide which means that fundamentally at its core there is something wrong with the institution of law enforcement in the United States. Even post “reforms” we still see a disproportionate number of stops, arrests, convictions, and time served by black and brown people. I’m on my phone right now so I won’t go into how the prisons in the US create legal systems of slavery and disenfranchisement instead of focusing on reform. As for crimes people point out like rape, domestic violence, and murder, there are criminally low convictions for rapists and those who are domestic abusers. While most murder cases that don’t have a perpetrator in hand within the first 48 hours go unsolved. And there are whole communities in the United States that aren’t policed: middle and upper class largely white suburban areas! There’s more but I’m on my phone.

I loved it! I don’t think it really needed to be gayer. It wasn’t a love story or a coming out story but just a good coming of age film. ETA: also I think “good for Netflix” as this point is a little pointless. I mean we’ve had Academy Award nominees in Roma and The Irishman. And great documentaries like 13th on Netflix!

It’s so good!!!!

Bekah believes in selective vaccinations and personal vaccination schedules for her child. But generally aside from that she’s very good and typically does a pretty good job of calling out the sh*t members of BachNation. Lol.

I saw that Also apparently Becca and Rachel are recording their podcast tomorrow and hopefully they discuss this. And hopefully Rachel calls her out and calls Garrett out and doesn't back off from pressing her on the issue. If she does I'll blame ABC and not Rachel. And as for Rachel. I assume that as soon as she saw that post from Garrett she went to grab her finest bottle of Whiskey, took a long pour, got completely naked and demanded Brian eat her out until he could feel it in his cheek implants because being the most prominent black person in Bachelor Nation has to be the most exhausting entertainment job that I can think of right now.

The Boss I consider myself to be a fan of Melissa McCarthy, but I don't remember this movie at all? Apparently nobody else does because this is all that's listed under the plot section of Wikipedia: "The film follows a wealthy woman who, after being arrested and losing her fortune, uses her assistant's daughter's Dandelion Girls cookie sales to return to the top." So yeah that's the movie. It stars Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Bell and Peter Dinklage but despite being produced and co-written by Melissa McCarthy apparently it's just not all that funny or good. I feel Melissa McCarthy is very talented and very funny and a lot of movies can survive on that alone but I wish she was in consistently good things. But make that paycheck. Saving: Godzilla

Cut The Boss LOL I dragged out my computer so I can do a real write-up so I don't need to cut Puss in Boots for an easy one.

Sola isn’t even in this rankdown! You don’t have to appease him!
