So, just in case you hadn't heard, the EU will be voting on the controversial and potentially dangerous Article 13 on 12 September. In case you don't remember from the last time this was an issue, this would require platforms to screen and remove copyrighted material from their pages. As you might guess, this would be an absolute travesty for fan culture at large. Worse still, it could very easily turn into a machine for censoring or suppressing speech on the Internet. So please, if you're in

Warning: This post may contain some of my political opinions.

I won't go much into detail about the background of this video, only its content.

First off, the punchlines used have been done to death. Eminem should know this, but if you can call a punchline, then the punch FAILED. "Trump is racist." "Trump is orange." "Trump doesn't understand the normal American citizen." "Trump says mean things on Twitter."

What's more, it explains the motivations behind the people who voted for him; also, it came out on October 12, so, you know, prescient.

Powerful Bernie Sanders Speech by Killer Mike

I just want to say one of my favorite writers growing up was a man named James Baldwin, and I remember Baldwin saying, "You asked my father to wait, my brother to wait, my uncle to wait. How long must I wait on freedom? How long must I wait on rights, and equality, and liberty?" And as a black child, that resonated with me because I knew I had been denied, and I personalized that.

I was going to make this post merely a emoji.

But then Trump attempted to use the official POTUS government account to circumvent his ban, and all his tweets got deleted. And then he used his campaign's digital director's account, changing the profile name and avatar. Twitter suspended him five minutes later.
