Capitalism Is Working As Designed/ Envisioned. It's Setup To Make The Rich ,richer And We're "good" As

You’re telling me that peaceful BLM protesters were treated with so much violence—they were beaten, tear gassed and arrested—and now the capitol building is getting stormed and there is no use of force to stop it?? They are literally inside the building now!

Powerpuff Girls was actually a show about a group of small children crushing the patriarchy and no one will convince me otherwise

“I’m the only cast member who had their own unique experience of that franchise based on their race. Let’s just leave it like that. It makes you angry with a process like that. It makes you much more militant; it changes you. Because you realise, ‘I got given this opportunity but I’m in an industry that wasn’t even ready for me.’ Nobody else in the cast had people saying they were going to boycott the movie because [they were in it]. Nobody else had the uproar and death threats sent to their Instagram DMs and social media, saying, ‘Black this and black that and you shouldn’t be a Stormtrooper.’ Nobody else had that experience. But yet people are surprised that I’m this way. That’s my frustration.”

A quick summary of what’s happening in DC: Congress was supposed to certify the US Presidential Election today, but a pro-Trump mob protesting the results have forced their way into the Capitol building, and are attempting a coup. This is following weeks of Trump telling his supporters to not accept election results.

I’ve been following the PBS News Hour livefeed here, and NYTimes’ live chat analysis.
