lol yeah the issue with our government is Muslim women. Good fucking take.

You can protect freedom of religion and the separation of church and state without bans on personal religious adornments. And anyway, there’s no telling how such a ban would have any material effect in the first place. Evangelical fundamentalists use their faith as a reason to restrict women’s rights. But so do…

Because then you’re reducing Shannann Watts down to her relationship with this weasel. I think I would have gone with something like “Husband who murdered ...”

“You thought you would get away with this,” he continued. “You carried them out like trash.”

I’m betting the reason he sounded so affectless in his texts about his family being “gone” is he honestly thought his replacement female would be as cool about as he was: “Gone? Terrific! I shall now move in, sex you, do all the chores, and bear replacement offspring units for you. Beep.” It never occurred to him that…

Simple solution: wear an elaborately curled white wig, just like the Founding Fathers.

How? Because most “mainstream” Christianity doesn’t require men to wear religious garb. So you’re left with Jewish Men, Muslim Women, and Sikhs being forced to chose between serving in Congress and going against their religious teaching while Christians are not similarly discriminated against.

A simple hat ban made by a bunch of white dudes 200 years ago

Yep. Definitely doesn’t conflict with this: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. 

There’s no ban on religious iconography. It’s very specific and bigoted ban that is impacting Muslim women specifically. 

Yeah, I hate that shit.  There’s always some white saying, “Hey, my father is a cop!”  As if that makes a difference.  They always look at me crazy when I say, “Fuck your daddy too.”

Yes.

This is too bad. The lawyers for the board interviewed me in late August. I gave them names of witnesses etc. Did they not take what I had to say seriously? Junot Diaz is a very troubled person and should not be in any gatekeeping role that puts him in contact with young women writers of color. What a travesty.

stories like this are why it always irritates me when white people start caping for cops. they do this grimy ass criminal shit on a daily basis and yet there’s still the token “well, they’re not all bad!” the so-called good cops are too busy covering asses while their brethren are out there using any means they can to…

My dad was talking to me about the Vietnam War a while last month. He mentioned how fucked up things were among each group. And how US soldiers were surprised that racism even existed among Asians. Racism obviously existed among White soldiers, regarding their treatment attitude and treatment of Black soldiers. He…

On what scale is cheating on your spouse just as bad as trying to destroy government housing? Laura Bush killed someone and she’s got schools named after her.

Why can’t there be a John Wilkes Booth school of Acting and Firearms?

“It is synonymous with having Trump’s name on our school in blackface,”

I was physically attacked. It literally felt like fighting for my life. I thought I would die. After being grinded on I also very much thought I’d be raped, and it felt like he was trying to sexually intimidate me. Prior to that, he’d be in spaces he wasn’t supposed to be where I was alone. I got called “sweetheart” by…

He was there supervising a parent and child who were buying something, because the State had determined they were not yet legally able to be alone together.
