A black man, David McAtee was murdered by LMPD & National Guard officers. He was shot and killed just after midnight. David owned a barbecue shop. He was known to feed police officers for FREE. HIS BODY IS STILL IN THE STREET!!! I am SO fucking outraged. RETWEET - know his name!

Saying gun control hurts our freedom is a false argument amounting to propaganda. Gun laws don't curtail freedom any more than speed limits or seat belts. You still get to drive your car and have guns, we're just trying to save lives as you do. #InOurLifeTime.

If you're unconscious and someone force sex onto you, that is rape. If you say no and it still happens, that is rape. If at first you give consent and then you say stop and they continue, that is rape. The victim is never ever to blame. Rape is a inexcusable, vile act.

Honestly students in the black communities have no voices really. Gun violence for us has become the norm to the media that's why it doesn't get as much coverage. It's almost as if they look at it as "another black kid shot, what's new?" That is not normal.
