Girl Power!

This. Yet men call women “too emotional”. War is the pinnacle of emotion. It’s two guys having a pissing contest until things get out of hand. War isn’t logical, it isn’t sound, it’s pure emotion and yet men have been responsible for it since civilization started.

I can’t with American Exceptionalism, like, at all

At what point can the SPLC designate AIPAC an anti-Islam hate group?

Can we talk about how the U.S. is the only nation that has ever dropped a nuclear weapon on someone else? But God forbid anyone else develops nuclear weapons... (I’m not saying I want Iran to have a nuke– it’s just our attitude is awfully hypocritical)

Women in the minority party are about 33 percent more effective at passing bills according to a study published in the American Journal of Political Science.

“Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) once said that female politicking is “much less about ego and much more about problem-solving.”

I recently had a really awesome, productive meeting where we accomplished a lot that I think will have a genuine positive impact on our community. Just the productive meeting part is so fucking rare. So, I said that it was the most productive meeting I’ve ever had. And a female judge who was in the meeting said “well,…

shoutout to all yall female legislators for not buying Israeli-manufactured DC-packaged fearmongering bullshit, too.

I am completely of the opinion that if the governments of the world were led by a majority of women, there would be far less war, hostility, and suffering.

They didn’t actually read Mockingbird. They watched the movie and assumed it was the same.

Im rereading now but I just started part II. My interpretation continues to be Atticus is one of those “treat people nicely” not “view everyone equally” types. Like you said, do the bare minimum.

Yeah, I first read Mockingbird this year and couldn’t figure out why it was such a big deal. “Yay Atticus for doing the bare minimum as a decent human being”? “Good job being a principled lawyer, even to a black person”?

I’m reading Watchman now, and it’s interesting to read it knowing that it is the one she wrote first. They told her to try again and focus on Scout’s early life, so she went back and wrote Mockingbird. So she knew when she wrote Mockingbird that Atticus was a racist. There is one part where Scout comes home and asks…

It still blows my mind that people read Mockingbird and didnt realize that Atticus doing his job as an attorney =/= Atticus believed black people were his equal

I dunno. If we renamed all our kids because we realized the person they’re named for was actually racist, there would be absolutely no names left except for maybe those fucking stupid Twilight names and other made-up shit.

I thought maybe I could get through Brooks’s writing if it were curated and summarized, but no. I do not understand how he can consistently be near the top of the Most Emailed or Most Viewed categories that appear on the Times website. He’s like Bill Moyers’s evil twin who is trying to convince himself he’s the good…

This honestly took me back to the best years of SPY magazine. Thanks!
