With its medley of magical faculty and its ever-changing rotation of Defense Against the Dark Arts professors, Hogwarts could use a little RateMyProfessor action—and we felt obliged to answer the call. If Snape’s rating doesn’t make you laugh out loud, then you have a Horcrux for a heart.

“NO ONE OWNS OUR VOTE. THEY SHOULD EARN OUR VOTE.”

-NINA TURNER

(Q)When you decided to support Sen. Sanders, did you catch any heat?

(A)“Oh, my god yes. I’ve had white Hillary supporters saying to me that I betrayed the Clintons and saying I’m not going to have a future in politics. I mean, they marked me for life, and I’m sitting back thinking: The Clintons never helped me to do a thing in my life, and all of a sudden they control my destiny? That was very condescending to me. “I had a white woman here in Ohio who supported my Secretary of State run in 2014. I’ll never forget this. I was at a Planned Parenthood lecture a couple of months ago and she came up to me and said how disappointed she was in me. Very condescending. And I let her know that I really didn’t care about her disappointment and I’m not on the plantation. That’s exactly what I told her.”

Then she said, ‘After all we’ve done for you.’ Now, see. That was it for me. I interpreted that as, ‘After all we’ve done for you, Black girl, you owe us.’ They would never say that to anyone else, but the fact you feel you can say that to a Black woman? I thought she was supporting me because I was the best candidate to be Secretary of State, because I was trying to protect access to the ballot box for all people — not because you own me or I owe you.“

HOW TO VOTE 2016

SO INSTEAD OF TELLING YOU WHO TO VOTE FOR, I’M GOING TO TELL YOU HOW TO VOTE BECAUSE NOBODY EVER SEEMS TO DO THAT.

Remember that the 2016 presidential election does not just take place in 2016. The primaries are just as important because they decide who gets to run for president in the national election in November.

PLEASE VOTE. IT IS YOUR RIGHT. IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO HOLD POLITICAL FIGURES RESPONSIBLE. IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO SEE THE CHANGE YOU WANT.

People now are like, “Your right to free speech doesn’t mean you can express an offensive opinion” Like what the fuck does right to free speech mean, then?

Happy Black History YEAR!

Greatness.

loving how my old history teacher talked about them like a terrorist group

boost me up

Wow okay so for those skimming, there’s a memo up there from THE DIRECTOR OF THE FBI that sets a mission to LIE about the good things the Black Panthers were doing, spread rumors of them being terrorists, and terrorize the communities supporting them.

If you think the Black Panthers were terrorists and you’ve never heard of the community-building, it’s because there was a literal government conspiracy to make you and people 45 years ago think that way.

i’m reblogging again (bolding mine), because people need to fucking know this. especially white americans. 

TRUTH. My dad was a BP and this is a common misconception.

The sad fact is that you will never find a non-problematic candidate.

Not even a third-party candidate.

They have all done or said something problematic at some point.

You have to decide which problematic thing you personally can forgive or at least deal with, in exchange for a candidate who you think can win and can be reasoned with to accomplish your political goals.

It’s always going to be a trade-off. This is not “the lesser of two evils.” This is reality.
