I agree. And Elizabeth Warren is showing us all how this shit needs to be done.

It also did not help that she prefaced her trip w/ pointing out she was wearing a head wrap and packing some MUST HAVE beads.

Yeah. . . .I was trying to figure out what exactly was so irritating about this. I say this as someone who scrolled through the photos and was immensely irritated. I realize she is doing good work—and the photos—to some extent—should shine light on the causes she is promoting. But starting off w/ the head wrap and the…

Public Policy Polling always asks hilarious match-up questions. But the responses should be viewed as jokes—and only jokes. This question was embedded amongst a ton of others. . . .as PPD always does it.

Not sure if someone has already posted about this. . . .but this was one of the things that was SO fascinating about the fallout after Trump said women should be punished for having abortions. I’ve been pretty insulated from the pro-life movement my entire life—so I didn’t realize, until the fallout, that a HUGE part…

Thanks for this. I actually read the headline and thought, “Ugh, but she is the WORST actress” and almost went to the comments to post something along these lines. And then I thought to myself, “Why do you have to be such a bitch?”

I’m not sure that the tone of this piece is appropriate. Namely, this:

Oh please, she buried her “apology” in something like the 9th paragraph of a blog post whose title spoke only about the wrongdoings of Rolling Stone.

Anna, I’ve said this before and I will say it again: You were not the idiot. The writers who you criticized in your piece were not the investigative journalists who ended up uncovering flaws in the UVA story. They were right wing bloggers with a history of minimizing sexual assault. And, the pieces that they wrote…

I found this so grotesque. It is NOT privilege to be asked to be treated with respect—not matter what industry you are in. WTF.

Yeah, I can get why people think he had nothing to do with it. But it sure sounds a lot like him.

You nailed it. My mother had native ancestry, but was raised white. This hasn’t stopped her from discussing this ancestry. And, ugh, this ancestry has been used as a way of explaining why I have certain physical features. I can also see the desire in my siblings (and, frankly, myself) to play up this ancestry as…

Thank you for this context re: Oklahoma. I’m about 1/8 “native” (Alaskan + Lumbee/Cherokee), but was raised completely 100% culturally white, as was my mother. Because this is part of my DNA, but not a part of my family’s culture or upbringing for the past 3 generations, I have never checked any boxes on forms. And I…

and a pill she takes that is “filled with greens.”

It feels so fucking good.

Same. I feel like I spent most of my twenties (through both Bush eras) stomping my feet cause the democrats wouldn’t be braver.

“It’s not about Harriet Tubman, it’s about keeping the picture on the $20,” said King. “Y’know? Why would you want to change that? I am a conservative, I like to keep what we have.”

I’m not sure you can get much more blatantly racist than saying this about a black president in the context of putting a black woman on some currency.

Their basic strategy has been awesome since 2010. This is true. And works party because Democrats are WORTHLESS at getting out to vote in non-presidential years (Let’s do better). And also redistricting.

I also feel awful for him. And hate him. And love his music. Admire his out-of-this-world talent. Etc. I do wish that we hadn’t seemed to completely forget about the child molestation allegations after he died.
