The only time I got high I got so anxious I had to lie, curled up in a ball, on my bed just sort of rocking back and forth and wanting to throw up but unable to do so. I didn’t feel like myself again for two days. Of course, I’m on two medications for anxiety and depression, so who knows what effect that might have on…

The problem is that keeping weed illegal causes countless non-violent offenders to be thrown in jail and have their lives ruined, while violent offenders like rapists get probation because prisons are overcrowded.

They (the Republican legislators) do care about one little truth: that their wives and daughters (and themselves) still have easy access to health and abortion services whenever they want them. It’s only the poor and unconnected that don’t.

Don’t forget school board, even if you don’t have kids. In my town, the Tea Party ran a slate of candidates a few years ago and got two of them elected. These guys (yes, four middle-aged white guys) flew below radar and talked about financial responsibility and hid their awful social agenda.

I have no idea how old you are but as someone who lived through two Bush administrations - don't vote 3rd party unless you are in the bluest of blue states. Progressives and liberals helped Bush the Younger win just as conservatives voting for Perot helped Clinton. With gay rights, abortion rights, the ability of the…

Voting next year isn’t good enough. Everyone votes in the Presidential election, but the Presidential actually does very little. Vote in every election. Vote this November, if you have an election. Vote for your state senator (I💖 Kirk Watson), vote for your county clerk, vote in your city council's primaries. Vote…

It's a total deficit of empathy. If something isn't a problem for them it isn't a problem for anyone. They kind of remind me of the suburban white people who don't think police brutality is a problem. I think it really just boils down to a complete lack of empathy & compassion.

I do, I went to catholic school & while the majority of people I know are reasonable there are still a TON of people who just parrot what the right wing politicians their parents like say without even thinking.

If you need more evidence for that - look at those white, privileged women in that picture. They will never be denied healthcare or access to abortion if they need it. I find them incredibly lacking in imagination, intelligence, and any sort of thoughtful care for their sisters.

Unfortunately I don't think it'll matter in the court of public opinion. At least not to republicans/evangelicals/fundies/morons etc. . We all saw the debate, the people going after PP don't care about the truth, they never did. These people think rights only belong to white Christians & everyone else is dead to…

Hey, the police made a mistake. Okay, a series of mistakes. Stupid and racist mistakes. Over several hours. Can’t we just let that go already?!?!

I thought it was all white guys when I glanced at the picture quickly. When the article mentioned them, I thought it odd they hadn’t been pictured and then went back and looked and found them.

They are, however, very light skinned. Which is again an interesting and relevant fact.

The high contrast/bright lights/whatever is the aesthetic of this photo makes it basically impossible to tell that Trevor Noah and Larry Wilmore are not white dudes.

Your friend is... special.

His point, which he clearly makes, is that he’s no happier with it. All it has done is afford him the luxury of not stressing about paying the rent, which he had to worry about (like most) for years. He didn’t go into this to make money, but he came out of it doing so. Like he says, 9 billion views are worth money to…

“[Money], I just feel like it’s not important.”

YES. I am an intelligent person but one of the negative side effects of having normal, honest family members is when you first come across pathological liars, sociopaths, etc. you are WAY naive. Holy shit. I’m skeptical with strangers but it still takes me awhile to catch on that someone is full shit when they come…

Wife has the right to know. Assuming she doesn’t know about the other woman, she’s been robbed of her agency to make an informed decision to marry this guy. If she chooses not to believe it, then it’s on her.

The feeling of personal power that comes from manipulating emotions. “Look how many women I can fool into wanting me! I am a GOD!”
