He was such a force that will never be replicated. Rest in Power.

Dam rip

Was he problematic? I feel like someone will bring up his past I mean it’s on every Ontd post when someone goes 🤷‍♀️

[lauren901]

Ah that’s not bad. I don’t know much about him

JFC can you not? your first comment in a post about a civil rights hero who routinely called out trump is "is he problematic"?

RIP. I hope his family was able to get closure with him before he passed.

I'm going to need all the disingenuous politicians/people who criticized Cummings and made his life harder to not post empty tweets about how they'll miss him because they didn't respect him when he was alive.

I kept thinking the same thing when I heard the news earlier. This is also how I feel about my co-workers.
