never forget

Yes! Combat in the final game is exponentially better than it is in Duscae.

‘Castro who?’

He was terrible on human rights, but not more terrible than Bautista and it probably took someone like Castro to over throw him. (Dear American Fuckwits— this is what choosing the lesser of two evils looks like.)

True. He was like, “Huh. Looks like they’re doing to destroy themselves. My job here is done.”

While I have friends who did their med school in Cuba, acknowledge the role he played in supporting Mandela (to a large degree because he wanted to tweak the nose of the US any way he could) and agree that US policy in Latin America has often been a disaster, I have little sympathy for someone who executed 5000…

It literally just happened.

Even he didn’t want to deal with Trump presidency.

I’m a Christian, and if they try to start a Muslim registry, I’ll register too. I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure that bigotry and hatred cannot and will not succeed as policies of the US government.

I don’t think a lot of Americans forgot about what we did to Japanese-Americans during World War II. I just think a lot of them think there was nothing wrong with it.

This is such a beautifully written and heartbreaking piece. It really boggles my mind that there are people who are all “let’s give Trump a chance” and “he’s not going to be THAT BAD as the media is portraying”.

Excellent piece, and thank you for sharing your grandfather’s story. We mustn’t ever forget.

Man, people sure have a strange way of expressing their economic insecurity.

America died? Get out then. People would die to live here under any circumstances.

The irony of your statement is kind of sad: the impetus for all the Trump support was a wall to keep out immigrants that, you know, would die to live in the U.S. Furthermore, the right and the isolationists don’t have a monopoly on diligence and hard work.

It’s a basic human decency vs. reprehensible assholery thing.
