But what does Akira Yoshida think about this?

And it won’t end with brown people. It will be the “undesirables” next. “So and so is unamerican. We should really do something about it. Their left leaning ideologies are a national security threat.” Boom Guantanamo.

It’s the logical next step to birtherism. When you managed to get millions of people to think the President’s birth certificate was fake, it’s easy to say the same of a bunch of anonymous brown people.

If I still lived in a place where people have a lot of guns and someone rang my doorbell like that in the middle of the night, I’d assume they were desperate for help. It is incredibly risky to get on a stranger’s property in gun nut territory, especially when the witching hour of paranoia (any time after 6pm,…

“As we say in Tallahassee, bless his heart.” - good for them for taking the highroad! Fucking racist Republican assholes. grrrr. 

If you hate being tried in the “court of public opinion” (while facing basically no other consequences) try to imagine not receiving a trial at all, and having a cop serve as judge, jury, and executioner. So much focus on the 1st and 2nd amendment, so little on the 6th.

Aretha Franklin was notorious for being a controlling perfectionist.

Linsay Graham wants to get someone in who’ll just dismiss investigations or corrupt them for a GOP Prez.

Well I for one think the Blue Lagoon children really grew up nicely.

Are white people.... okay?

I was a bit older than Bennett when my thirty-something boss and I began a consensual relationship. It was a “making up for lost time” sexual-shenanigans proposition for her and a “wow, this is the smartest, coolest, most interesting woman in the world” scenario for me.

I mean yes but also at some point people are so desperate especially when establishment medicine continues to fail them. This isn’t limited to ED. As someone who is suffering from a mysterious chronic fatigue issue that has been dismissed and unexplained by my doctors I see the allure of these people who claim to have …

Freshman year of college me and my roommates went out trying to bond. 6 of us total and I was the only black girl, four of the girls are white and the other girl was EA trans racial adoptee w/ white parents. They went on and on about all the shit they used to steal and from where. I was quietly listening, and then one…

Counterpoint, these are delicious

“Always arrive early and stay late without being asked.”

It truly was a magical time to be a woman of really any descent, but especially Jewish....

This idea that women shouldn’t have sex if they don’t want to get pregnant, and that we have an obligation to carry a pregnancy to term, is so ridiculous and morally repugnant in a free society.

Let’s say his argument is true, and that a fetus has human rights. Let’s go with that for a second.

It’s even more subtle in its new-speak. He’s implicitly saying that abortion is murder because the person “never got to live.” Following that logic, killing an alive person is not murder because they did get to live. It’s basically an extension of the cracker jacks logic that babies dying is before birth is bad only…

Yeah, the thing is, he’s in good company. I mean, he is not an outlier in that belief. That’s what Evangelical single-issue anti-abortion voters believe, honestly. They genuinely think that you and I are stupid for not understanding that a life murderously cut short after 5 or 10 or 50 years is inherently less tragic…

“By making the choice to have sex, a woman is making a conscious decision to engage in an act that has the natural result of creating a pregnancy”
