Can’t wrap my head around #BreonnaCon and fliers for it having the words “beauty, money, and justice” plastered over it with Breonna deep in the background. No matter the intent, not everything needs to be grossly commodified. We are all people first.

Claire McCaskill lost a senate seat placating to deplorables after being told for much of that year to do more outreach to Black voters. Now, she’s being paid to suggest her losing strategy on television. Must be nice.
