I'm sure a lot of Trumpers and insensitive jerks are going to flip out about a brand name change of a product that they probably never think about or use, but the story behind this is way racist and it should have been done a long time ago.
Change is good, though. Change comes from speaking up. Always speak up.

End Cash Bail now.
2/3 of Prisoners in California haven't been convicted but wait in jail because they can't afford bail - the rich folks, of course, are not among them. If you're stuck in jail you can't defend yourself, so the outcome is predetermined against the poor. The system is predatory. It's why "we have the best justice system money CAN BUY" it needs to end. Bail Bondsmen are part of the Prison industrial Complex. https://bit.ly/2YFmQ4h
Activism can sometimes take the form of contacting dictionary editors. Words are important, and I'd say lexicographers are more aware of that than most people.
Drake University graduate Kennedy Mitchum, 22, has convinced Merriam-Webster editors to update the definition of #racism to emphasize systemic racism, a concept that many white people evidently need to have defined.

@IronMan It's like when small children think that they're invisible when they close their eyes, except that it's dangerous and not funny or cute at all.

First, it's a welcome sight to see protests everywhere and going still.
But why do the counter protesters get to pack guns and hide behind the flag and nothing happens? If a bunch of armed BLM protesters started moving toward a police line, all hell would break loose.

@QueenRamonda @mariahill @CallMeMJ @IronMan Yep. I don't ever want to hear anyone say again that it "doesn't matter who's president" or that the president "doesn't even have much power," which are just two of the fun things I used to hear ignorant cynics say.
This is nice but it took a lawsuit to get.

It is incumbent upon everyone to work collectively to get this man out.
There is no other progress that will be made if we don't. We already have too much from the first 4 years to undo, and they're not even over yet.
