But that’s not the only reason behind it, and you know that, too.

You let me know how well using violence against these animals goes. Dylan Roof tried to start a race war by murdering those nine churchgoers. He didn’t succeed, NOT because people weren’t and aren’t outraged, but because we all have better selves that we have chosen to be.
I don’t believe in God. I’m not hoping for cosmic retribution for these people. I’m hoping to fight the rising tide of racism, nationalism, and populism in a way that doesn’t drag my friends and neighbors down into the streets in violence against fellow citizens. We all have a needle to thread here that stops these…
Hand holding? Where did I advocate that?
I don’t think you can say that the only thing that’s changed is that he’s scared. I worry about escalating violence with this pack of racist fucks, and defensiveness and fear is our worst enemy with these people. We cannot win the fight their way. They have no moral center and will burn the world to the ground in…
I fundamentally disagree with the notion that this in any way makes progress on anything. Richard Spencer and his followers now have their hackles up and are already prone to violent rhetoric and behavior. I don’t believe this does anything but convince them the race war they believe in is closer than ever. I believe…
Here’s a guy who’s managed to talk at least a few people out of their racism. He may not be perfect, but he’s not walking around punching people in the face.
I’m not advocating treating it like another idea at the table, I’m advocating being better people than they are every single time. You don’t win by becoming like them.
Yep. And yet, the Civil Rights Act was passed. Had there been years of returned violence on the part of black people, how do you think that would have played out?
I’m mad about this because it totally justifies Fucking Richard Spencer continuing to drive this “white man victim” narrative. He can now say that the left is as violent as we accuse the alt-right of being. Did this change his mind about his fucked up, misguided beliefs? Not a chance. Did it further entrench him and…
UCDavis grad here. The College Republicans have been trolling since before the word was coined. When I was on campus they held a Conservative Coming Out Day during Pride Week and of course played the victim when people took offense to that. They hold anti-Earth Day protests (I remember one girl getting on the bullhorn…
God, that’s horrible. I had a rough time with the rooming in but I didn’t have twins!
Putting kids in time out when YOU need a moment to collect yourself is the exact right reason for time outs. For the rest of it, I have to dig deep and address the problem itself - respond, not react. Kiddo has to be in a receptive head space, so we both have to calm down first and then we can talk about what happened…
I highly recommend the nook No Drama Discipline. It showed me that the timeouts I was relying on for discipline really weren’t working and gave me a lot of tools in my arsenal to correct behavior without resorting to hitting, yelling, or timeouts. I’ve seen a change in my very willful daughter because she’s finally…
I’m a D.C. resident and every time a new pile of shit gets dumped on my doorstep it has Fucking Jason Chaffetz’s smug face stamped into it.
Michael Che can be a bit of a dick in my opinion. I follow him on IG where he posts a lot of text exchanges he has. However, this doesn’t rise to that level for me.
Yes! Spill! What “multimillion dollar company” does her family run? It’s the mob, isn’t it?
“B-b-but the milliner! Who shall keep the milliner in coal and chocolates this Yule?”
I hope whoever wrote that speech bubble on Travolta is doing penance (by watching Face/Off 600 times in a row.)
