Did you read the part where she laughed at the city council member saying “woke 1 was crazy”. Why is that funny? Why is protesting police brutality funny? Why is Black suffering consistently the brunt of a joke?

I hate this timeline. When I saw she was selected I knew she would be on some BS. “Trump’s new CDC Head Said ‘Abortion Surveillance’ Will Be a Critical Focus.” HuffPost www.instagram.com/p/DbtKjoEDX7F/

Trump’s new CDC head said “abortion surveillance” will be a critical focus.

A picture above the text shows Dr. Erica Schwartz, a Black woman with long hair and a purple/blue shirt.

“Abortion surveillance is absolutely a critical component of what the CDC is currently doing. I also want to make sure that certain states are not conflating emergency services and hiding abortions in that emergency services case definition.”

Dr. Erica Schwartz, Huffington Post instagram

There is no evidence that states are purposefully misclassifying abortion care when reporting statistics to the CDC. The implication that certain states are hiding abortion services behind the label of emergency care services is particularly egregious given that many women have died or nearly died after physicians denied them miscarriage care due to state-level abortion bans

I was excited about this show until someone reminded me of Daniel Radcliffe acknowledging his friends are racist & remaining friends with them bc he doesn't "think that friendship should be drawn along those lines" 😒 metro.co.uk/2016/08/21/d...

Screenshot from Metro.co.uk

"He told The Hollywood Reporter that he didn't meet with any white supremacists to research the role but added:
'No, but I know some really f***ing racist people, friends I vehemently disagree with.
'They're not white supremacists, they would never be that extreme, but they are anti-immigration and absolutely voted to leave in Brexit.'
He added: 'And I'm still friends with them because I don't think that friendship should be drawn along those lines. That'd be a really sad way of viewing the world."
