I think posting the articles is probably fine if it is latest breaking news. Adding a polite comment or two is also fine. But as a white liberal, I have to avoid pontificating in these moments and accidentally sucking up all the oxygen or making it more about me. Check my privilege.

So my tendency on tumblr and twitter is to reblog and share without comment.
