When our parents said that they had “fixed racism back in the 60's and 70's” naive child me always thought that meant that they had dealt with the hate that drove racism. Adult, somewhat less-naive me realizes that the whole “dealt with the hate” phrasing was how our parents “fixed” racism: by defining racism in such…

I think its been said, but the GOP needs the angry, ill informed, scared white voter. For a time just keeping the white voter reasonably scared was enough. But the younger generation is now socialized on a somewhat national level thanks to tv/internet etc. The younger generation doesnt care. GenXers and older…

If they found suck a video, they’d respond with “Does merely saying the n-word REALLY make one racist?”

“Honestly how can we truly know if the man who refused to rent apartments to black people, called for a ban of Muslims,started off his campaign by saying Mexicans were criminals and rapists, started off his political career with a lie about the birthplace of our first African American president, called for the…

I guess women that win their elections by popular vote freak him out or something...

But it means something that she publicly derides and demeans them on a regular basis and doesn’t save that air time to do the same for people to her right. Her defending them is ironic because she was belittling them in the past few days. No one (reasonable) thinks she is aligned with Trump. There are things in…

Yet, here we are. At least they are not watering the crops with Gatorade. yet.

A first I was a little concerned about her turfing out a perfectly good guy from my home state, but I have totally changed my mind — she is a firebrand and a truth-teller, and I’m grateful she is in the delegation. Maybe, if we are lucky, there will be a secret cloning project set up to produce more of these ladies! …

Thanks. Honestly getting involved has been the only way to deal with my crippling anxiety - I highly recommend it, especially in non-political ways (just like, homeless shelters and shit). I don’t it want to sound like I do any of that full time though. I have the luxury of addressing my own needs when I have to.

Sincere thanks to you for the work you are doing, and please keep it up, for others and for your own well-being. I wish I could offer some kind of solution for dealing with your very legitimate fears but I’m still desperately looking for it myself. I mean aside from doing what you’re already doing, which is being…

Agree. I think it is sincere terror that leads them to cling to the idea of adults in the room. I’ve noticed that above all else, they are uncomfortable with “in-fighting” (a fear which protects the status quo) because they think we will cede power to the GOP. We already have!! I’m a “vote blue no matter who” person…

It’s a nice sentiment. But looking back at most presidents. Eh. You’d be hard pressed to pin even half of those on most of them.

That is the equivalent of the MAGAts saying that Trump is teaming up with Mueller to take down Obama/Clinton/Soros.

Uh... ok, then. I just don’t know how to respond to people like that. I can’t keep from being abusive, which I know isn’t helpful, but my fear and anger is tough to deal with. I came to real political consciousness earlier than some and later than many with the 2000 elections, and watching the slide into even further…

God, you guys need to give Trump a break. He had just learned a new word “inept” from the recent UK ambassador and was excited to use it in a sentence for his homework assignment.

The Vice President

So, to recap, in the past week (and a day), The President of the United States

Let’s be very clear, Nancy Pelosi’s attacks on these representatives last week served to enable Trump and the racists in their attacks:

“I never use the word you used—president—to describe [Trump],” Pressley told the Globe. “I refer to him as ‘the occupant.’ He simply occupies the space. He embodies zero of the qualities and the principles, the responsibility, the grace, the integrity, the compassion, of someone who would truly embody that office.…

Trump: Go back to where you came from.
