Holy Outrage, Batman!

A petition addressed to Florida governor Rick Scott to pardon Marissa Alexander, who fired a warning shot and harmed no one while being threatened by her abusive husband and was sentenced to twenty years in prison: signed by 13,787 supporters

A petition to Delta Kappa Epsilon International to stop defending its Yale chapter, which has repeatedly marched around rape crisis centers and women's dorms chanting, "No means yes! Yes means anal!": 6,871 supporters

A petition to Warner Brothers to dismiss Ben Affleck and recast the role of Bruce Wayne has
37,728 supporters, at time of writing.


I think if Batman were real, he would want us to defend racial minorities, battered women, and rape survivors more than his portrayal on the silver screen.
