That's it for this week. Enjoy the Fourth! If you're a white woman, consider signing this letter to Nancy Pelosi urging her to ummmmm reconsider the way she talks about Maxine Waters, and then this petition calling on Democrats to #belikeMaxine.

This country is fucked up and always has been; if we're celebrating anything tomorrow, I hope it's that we have the opportunity to make it somewhere we're actually proud to live.
