LET’S NOT FORGET: THE COPS ALLOWED THIS VIOLENCE TO HAPPEN. BLACK LIVES MATTER ARE MET WITH TEAR GAS, K9’S AND RIOT POLICE WHEN THEY ORGANIZE PEACEFUL PROTESTS YET THE POLICE DON’T GIVE A SHIT WHEN A BUNCH OF LITERAL NAZIS RUN AROUND WITH TORCHES ATTACKING STUDENTS. FUCK WHITE PRIDE. FUCK THE POLICE. AND IF YOU “DON’T AGREE”, FUCK YOU.
The police even said they dropped the ball because hey didn’t intervene aggressively enough soon enough. They didn’t do their fucking jobs but are ready to roll out the tanks with Black people with their hands up
-drops of oil on face
-foundation the wrong color mixed with liquid highlight
-blocky brows
-too much concealer
-contouring for wrong face shape
-bad blending
-powder that completely negates the liquid highlight
-eighty shades of orange eyeshadow
-dramatic wing
-holds Huda Beauty eyelashes on their face so it looks like their eyes for a second
-eyelashes so long they hit their eyebrows
-blinding highlight and reacting to it as if it’s the first time they put champagne pop on their damn face
-thirty seconds of moving their head around
For those who are interested why so many black people refuse to celebrate the 4th of July. Instead of having freedom , our ancestors had this. And it’s not the only reason not to celebrate the 4th of july. We still don’t have this freedom everybody’s talking about, we still can’t feel free in this country while getting constantly oppressed and humiliated just because of our skin color. Black people are dying every day from the hands of the police officers and i don’t feel like this country has improved from the days of slavery. So, i don’t have something to celebrate this day.
Can we just let him out on good behaivor? Cause that’s fucking outstanding.
“I’ve been getting these emails saying that, y’know it’s not my position to judge anybody. And I wanna make it quite clear that I didn’t judge him. Y’know I know God is the only judge we have. I just set the appointment up.”
I don’t even believe in God and that’s still a badass quote.
🤷
My nigga said he set the appointment up. Legendary.
The electoral college does not vote until December 19th. We have 40 days.
What does this mean?
Right now, the presidential election results are only a PROJECTION of the election outcome. They are PRELIMINARY RESULTS. A candidate still needs to earn 270 electoral votes to win. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, which means that more than 50% of the voters wanted her for president. The electoral college shouldn’t guarantee an override of the public’s opinion– and it doesn’t have to.
There are 21 states that do NOT restrict which candidate the electors vote for. Out of these 21, Hillary lost the following:
As you can see, these states are worth 166 electoral votes. As it currently stands, Hillary Clinton is projected to receive 232 votes. Trump is projected to win 306. This means that 37 votes need to be taken away from Trump to bring him down to 269. Hillary Clinton needs 38 votes ADDED to win 270. These electoral voters can also abstain, which means that they can refuse to vote for either candidate. If 37 of the voters within these states abstain then no candidate will have reached the required 270. In this case, the vote would be taken to the House.
Trump won Pennsylvania, a state that typically votes blue, by less than 100,000 votes. While it is highly unlikely to get all 20 electoral voters to cross party lines and vote democrat, it also isn’t impossible to convince a few of them to be “faithless electors.” We only need to convince 38 out of the 166. That is 23%. There are SIXTEEN states we need to focus our attention on.
A move like this would be unprecedented. However, as we all saw on November 8th, odds don’t guarantee reality. Trump had a less than 20% winning, yet given the circumstances, enough people came together and made it happen. We can make this happen.
Ask yourself this: What do we have left to lose?We can stay complacent and accept that this country will be run by a racist, sexist, islamophobic, homophobic, ablest bigot, or we can at least try.
How?
SPREAD THE WORD. Trend #NotMyPresident to let people know that we do not accept being led by a man who does not care about our wellbeing. Email your professors, email the dean of your colleges. The last thing a university wants is negative press. Millenials can take a stand, but that doesn’t mean we have to be the only ones. Church-led events helped bring a lot of disillusioned voters to the polls. Spread the word in any way possible, whether it be on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, or even in person. Stage a peaceful protest. Hand out flyers. Let the people around you know that you don’t accept this man as your leader when he won’t even accept you as a citizen with your designated rights.
These 166 people need to face the consequences of electing this man.
Do this for the people who couldn’t vote. Do this for the people who live in the very real fear of being deported. Do this for the people who will have to face the rise in hate crimes. Do this for the people who have a very real possibility of losing their rights. Do this for the people who will no longer afford necessities.
It’s not a normal election result when your friends wake up afraid.
It’s not a normal election result when the people you love who are LGBTQ, female, black, Mexican or Muslim don’t know what will happen to them or their rights.
People are worried and they need to feel love. Send it around.
