"It’s impossible for me to be happy; psychologically and chemically impossible. So I’m going to help some little girl out there. I’m going to let her know that I have stretch marks on my ass, and bunions, that I don’t have my shit together at all. Please say that I don’t have my shit together. I want to give that girl some hope. I want her to know that she doesn’t have to have her shit together. She doesn’t. It’s okay if she doesn’t. I’m going to prove that, and then I’m going to die."
The star of Orange is the New Black and Jane the Virgin presents her personal story of the real plight of undocumented immigrants in this country
Diane Guerrero, the television actress from the megahit Orange is the New Black and Jane the Virgin,
was just fourteen years old on the day her parents and brother were
arrested and deported while she was at school. Born in the U.S.,
Guerrero was able to remain in the country and continue her education,
depending on the kindness of family friends who took her in and helped
her build a life and a successful acting career for herself, without the
support system of her family.
In the Country We Love is a
moving, heartbreaking story of one woman’s extraordinary resilience in
the face of the nightmarish struggles of undocumented residents in this
country. There are over 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the
US, many of whom have citizen children, whose lives here are just as
precarious, and whose stories haven’t been told. Written with Michelle
Burford, this memoir is a tale of personal triumph that also casts a
much-needed light on the fears that haunt the daily existence of
families like the author’s and on a system that fails them over and
over.
Take heed from Venus and Serena’s father…don’t let anyone sow seeds of doubt in your kids. Dude was trying to snatch Venus’ confidence, and her dad was like, “Nah, bruh. Not today.”

Imagine what we could do with even one parent like that?
We are the last generation who can hear from these survivors directly. Do not take that lightly. Do not waste that opportunity. Do not forget your freedom isn’t infinitely guarenteed. And do not, do not, let it happen again.
According to a 2012 United Nations survey, more than half of Malawi’s girls are married before the age of 18. In addition, the country is ranked 8th out of 20 countries believed to have the highest child marriage rates in the world. Chief Kachindamoto is changing this one step at a time and has begun by annulling more than 850 child marriages, sending hundreds of young women back to school to continue their education, and by making astonishing strides to abolish cleansing rituals that require young girls to go to sexual initiation camps.
This is amazing. She’s like a real-life superhero.
For a really long time we’ve been waiting for an update on investigation of Kendrick Johnson’s death. And here we go - no charges filed , although there are many suspects.
When we first heard the news about this incident, we were really shocked by what happened to this black boy at school.
First of all there were two official reports in this case.
One of them stated that Kendrick’s Body was stuffed with papers and rolled up in a gym mat, but when police started investigating the case and found two of Kendrick’s schoolmates as probable suspects, suddenly report has changed. It stated that Kendrick’s death was an accident. WOW.
By the way, school’s surveillance video is missing 3 hours (!) of footage right after the moment Kendrick entered the gym.
Interesting Fact: Branden Bell and Brian Bell are sons of an FBI agent.
When the incident happened it had a little coverage on the news. Almost none. And now we have no charges in K. Johnson’s death.
We need justice. And we won’t stop seeking for it.
If this was any other candidate this would be on every news outlet. It would be a scandal, and that person wouldn’t be candidate for long. The fact that he’s still the presumptive nominee is fucking RIDICULOUS.
On June 9, 20-year-old trans woman Goddess Diamond became the fourteenth transgender person killed in the United States in 2016 when her body was found in a burning car in New Orleans, reported Autostraddle on Tuesday. Many believe the timing of her death is not merely a coincidence.
