Famous Ira Quotes

Much like the riots that went on in the city in 1971, I was unconsciously fighting my inner demons within myself.

Unbeknownst to my family, I had earned sufficient money during my Harem services to comfortably put myself through college.

On Instagram, anyone could become famous among strangers. And so the Kremlin’s IRA did too. Nearly half of their accounts achieved more than 10,000 followers, and 12 of them had over 100,000. They used the accounts to sell things. One sold the idea that Hillary Clinton was a bad feminist. Another, @blackstagram_, with 303,663 followers before Facebook took it down in the Russian account purge, touted products from what it said were black-owned businesses, while telling black Americans not to waste their time voting.
