..Which goes back to why I think it is so offensive that BS’s campaign uses the world revolution. That word has real meaning. Running to be elected - by vote- to be in charge of the Empire is not a revolution. Though it has certainly had the desired effect on his followers.

Thanks for this. You just ruined my whole fucking day.. now the rage is going to take over.

I imagine, (though I may be wrong), that it was exhausting to write this piece. I hope that someday it is considered as impolite as asking someones’ age or income, to presume you know, and further, can *tell* them what their racial identity is.

As I was trying to say, before Kinja got weird. I agree. And don’t forget about the guns. Bernie sucks it on the gun issue, which is enough reason for me to vote for HC.

That is weird. I typed a two sentence response and published it. Instead of the words, there is the “you really like me” photo. Is there something going on with Kinja?

Here here. And guns. Don’t forget the fucking guns. Hillary is light years ahead on Bernie on that issue and I for one have decided I am going to be a single issue voter for at least the next 4 years on that.

I have only read the excerpt published in the Guardian about Hillary Clinton and I hope hope hope that it helps to make us excited about HC again. She is worthy of that. http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/o…

What a bunch of fucking assholes.

Now can everyone clear the haze of their cool-pope high and see the US tour for the PR campaign it was? He talked a cool game- but nothing, and I mean *nothing* has changed in that church. They (the institution) oppress women. They oppress gay people. And they refuse to make the simple changes that would do more to…

Wait. Is this the only article/coverage Jez is doing on the PP hearings in congress? Really?

Amazing that all of those armed officers were able to subdue him without shooting the living hell out of him. And here I was thinking the only solution to a bad guy with a gun was a bunch of good guys with guns.

What?! No one is going to comment on your Minutemen reference? I thought you were going to say What Makes a Man Start Fires. Really though, how can any album be your favorite other than Double Nickels?

This whole thing just keeps raising more questions for me. While I don’t really have contempt for her, I think of how her situation potentially makes is harder for people who are bi/multiracial to confidently assert their own racial identities, as they perceive them to be, rather as some external set of standards or…

Fair enough for most of them (Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, etc). Mother Jones though has been doing some of the best investigative journalism on gun violence in the US. (Adam Weinstein at Gawker has done some fine work as well). However, it seems like they can’t write about anyone elses story on anything (which, let’s…

Why do writers at Jez/Gawker seem to hate all other news providers so much?

I love a little well-placed class outrage as much as the next gal.. but I am sorry- I think this is yet another ploy on the part of corporate interests to get us to keep sniping at each other, focusing on individuals as the source of our environmental problems. We all know that the majority of this is being consumed…

Where the fuck is my Scandal open thread?

This is a pretty good list. Kudos on the Maiden. I would add two from my playlist: Butthole Surfers, “Who Was In My Room Last Night?” and Bad Brains, “Quickness”.

Natalie Portman is legit:

This is a profound and brave piece and I thank you for writing it Yaara.
