It’s so weird to see a Robert Kennedy be, not totally incompetent. Rfk Sir said this in regards to a sheriff arresting strikers: “can I suggest the sheriff read the constitution of the United States?”

Oh shit this is about the guy they named my cousins headstart after. I was commissioned (forced) to make so much of my cousin’s class room and lesson art while I was in middle school and I always wondered who he was whenever I would be brought in to help set up for events and stuff. Shit I made in middle school is (knowing my cousin) still being used to this day in a building named after this guy.

Give a future to my women!” -Sitting Bull oct 1881

Racism in feminism is really bad.
