I’m a WOC and this was my first march and I’ve wanted to attend #BLM marches in the past but never felt welcomed. I’m half muslim and half brown and can’t tell you the number of people of all stripes and WOCs of life (see what I did there?) that seemed to appreciate my sign. Perhaps to indulge their own sense of moral…

I grew up in a 100% hardcore right-wing family, so it took me a long time to get here. I never had a defining moment that took me to the left, so I had to carefully consider and then reject all the programming that made me see from their point of view. It’s taken decades to get here. Even now I’m mostly silent on…

I say that I and others I know that are also nice white ladies ARE supporters of BLM, but that doesn’t mean the criticism isn’t justified. I especially cringe at those who are joyously pointing out that there weren’t any arrests at this march. Like duh, when the cops don’t show up in riot gear looking for a fight,…

Serious question: does the Black Lives Matter movement have a set position on whether they want white people at their protests or not? I’ve read several high profile articles both ways. I’ll admit to staying away, in part because I’ve read several impassioned pieces saying that I shouldn’t go.

I work for an advocacy organization. We all went to the march, with our friends and our families.

While I understand there are valid critiques of the Women’s March, and they have been discussed elsewhere including other Jezebel articles, this here piece just kinda stinks of “gotta pick apart something!” I think part of the strength of the right is that they rarely eat each other the way we do on the left. No one…

Or they are doing their jobs speaking for their constituents? 

People can grow it in their yard and it’s fine.

I read that in Lana Kane’s voice.

One of the terrible things is that dismantling public education plays into Republican hands, by dumbing down the electorate far enough that they’ll vote Republican.

Does it still count as sarcasm if that’s the way things are? :(((((

I believe the expression “born on third and thinking you’ve hit a triple” is an understatement for her background.

I’d like to point out that if you went to a job interview and answered questions like she did, you’d be laughed out of the HR room.

School choice is such bullshit. Choice for the schools is what it is. Those fucking charters peel off the easiest/cheapest to educate kids to make the biggest profit, never in a million years would they take any child who is more expensive to educate. Which means that any child who is handicapped, has an IEP, or…

In the conversations about the risks Trump poses to women, religious and ethnic minorities, LGBTQ people, and the non-wealthy, we haven’t paid nearly enough attention to the utter devastation that is about to descend on public school students. This woman is as terrifying as any other nominee he’s put forth.

This harridan is bad for the kiddies.

God, every time I see this shit I just get depressed all over again. Hillary was so ready and capable and deserved to be the first female president.

The issue being discussed should not be, ‘should Lewis have said this’, or ‘should Trump have responded that way’, or ‘is Lewis right or wrong’, or ‘who else is not attending the inaugeration’, or least of all “what does this or that B-Lister think about it”... the most important thing that should be discussed, is…

We need to destroy the white revisionist myth that MLK was all about marches and speeches. He told people that in order to see social justice, you MUST break unjust laws. You MUST make comfortable people very uncomfortable. You MUST bring out the very worst in your oppressors before things get better.

A traitor to the country is a Great American according to Mississippi.
