In our household/family tradition, the light over the stove is the equivalent of the eternal flame for the house. It never gets shut off, and if the bulb should fail, you’d better have backup bulbs because I’m not even sure what would happen if a whole night passed without that light on. The apocalypse maybe?

Thank you sir! So many bon mots. All the words and more! I mean, calling a lie a lie can’t possibly be wrong, can it??

Double feature of racism AND patriarchy! Imaging asking a man to make WOMEN do anything. 

Maybe her mother is Black? 

And that Bartender knew he needed a little extra! 

More frightening, actually. Did you see Sen. Whitehouse’s examination of Dark money in SCOTUS picks?

Anything you think would be a good and proper punishment for a white terrorist, you can bet will be used against black and brown people tenfold!

Honestly, we’re trying to end mass incarceration, and this would blow it up 10 fold.

I, for one, welcome a boring political landscape. Where the government works for the people, not for TV ratings and scandal.

I’d love to go through a day, week, or even an month and not even think about our national government. 

Until 2015, the Boy Scouts of America did not allow openly gay men to be scout leaders (the organization dropped its ban on gay scouts in 2013). The Catholic Church’s institutionalized homophobia is well established. All that exclusion and yet so much abuse. That’s protesting too much, defined.

YOUR Dem party was elected by US, and we say “NAH!”

I’m of an age that the photo and the headline was the entire damn thing! 

Thank you. This is the content I’m here for. <3

And the recent spate of police shootings has been laid squarely at the feet of right wing/anti govt. militia types - bugaloos (sp?) which the FBI says is our greatest domestic terrorist threat right now, so why you asking King James for help? You should be talking to the FBI

How do you call someone a “global ambassador” and then replace him in ads in other parts of the globe? That’s not what “global” means. 

For a short time, I belonged to a Black triathlete group on Facebook, and I remember when someone found a FB page dedicated to “black people on bikes they had stolen” - i.e. nice bikes. The triathlete group reported that page in enough numbers that site got shut down fast!  Black people on nice bikes is apparently a…

They let me even have the procedure unless I had someone with me to drive me home.  

Agree. Old New England money is mostly identifiable by their 20 year old mustard yellow volvos (or newer Subarus, the official automobile of New England, regardless of income) and “vintage” classic pieces that they’ve worn for the last 20 years.

I went to a counselor just one time, and she basically affirmed what I already knew, but had refused to act on. I did what I needed to do and never went back. Sometimes, you just need a professional opinion that affirms “yes, just as you thought, this IS the thing.”

August 18th is the 100 year anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment, which gave *white* women the right to vote
