Does this mean we are willing to tone down our biggottry? No….

"But even as activists rack up successes, their achievements are dwarfed by systemic injustice. Bankers and landlords continue evicting and raising rents, even as more than 18.3 million apartments and homes - one in seven US residences - sit vacant. The number of empty units is up more than 60 per cent since 1970. For each of the United States’ more than 635,000 homeless people, 28 residences are empty and ready to house them right now."
— This. THIS. Is the problem with rampant capitalism

"Obama, thanks for taking time to talk about Trayvon when pressed by a reporter during your World Bank press conference. Thanks for leaving out any mention of race / racism. Thanks for not calling for the arrest of Zimmerman. Thanks for trying to remain silent about Trayvon’s murder for as long as possible. Thanks for expressing no outrage over the Sanford, FL police dept & district attorney’s intentional mishandling of this case. Thanks for showing that, if given the opportunity, you are willing to tolerate the murder of this unarmed 17 year old boy by a racist vigilante. Thank you for revealing so starkly how the 1% relies on racism to divide and conquer (and that money / power transcends racial identity)."

Anonymous asked: He said that about the NDAA BEFORE it had amendments made to it. He also said he would veto SOPA, so I think this is a sign that he at least knows what the internet does and doesn't need. (even if he's kinda daft elsewhere)
