The problem arises when ww start trying to distance themselves from their whiteness-as if they’re raceless and inherently neutral. This piece, I don’t think, is not intended to tell ww not to speak out. It’s a request to center conversation and actions on the parties who are most oppressed and hurt.

i knew it! im assuming she, or some other (left-leaning, probably feminist) woman, left him and he went off the deep end.

I think it starts with just assuming your kid will be kind forever, avoiding difficult conversations because they’re “too young”, then writing off their problematic behavior because there’s no way your kid could be like that. He probably never had a conversation about race growing up. Probably taught in public schools…

I get this, but in reverse. In an argument with my father this weekend, he took the side of Nazi protesters and told me that if I wasn’t so pathetic I’d be able to do something to improve my life and the lives of my family. Because I believed the government should condemn nazism.

I know some people who are acquainted with this family, and apparently they’re all a bunch of liberals except for this lunatic, who’s been threatening toward them in the past. I’m glad his identity is known so others can disassociate from him, but I do feel for people caught in the crossfire and receiving threats due…

To be fair, Shelly has never made any good decisions that I can remember.

Please stop doing that. Putting trash in the recycling slows down the process, contaminates real recyclables, and can damage machines. If you don’t want to put in any effort, you’re better off just throwing everything out. That’s why thousands of sanitation departments push the recycling tip “When in doubt, throw it…

When did sponges become so prohibitively expensive? The best way to clean your sponge? A NEW SPONGE! When the sponge gets gross, throw it in the trash (or recycle if applicable) and buy new sponges.

My method:
1) Put gross sponge in garbage
2) Get new sponge from under sink
3) (optional) If running low on sponges buy a new pack of sponges for like $5 seriously guys.

It seems more than a bit disingenuous to complain that the speech was uninspiring because it was “chock-full of health policy lingo”. No shit. It’s a speech about health policy.

This is a real hot take, man.

““Let’s think of the future, not of the political victory,” Schumer said in his press conference, adding that Congress should work to stabilize the individual insurance market by permanently ensuring cost-share reduction for insurers (here’s a helpful explainer on what that means). What a rousing call to action.”

Not really getting this take. Republicans in the House (and Heller and Flake in the Senate) want this issue as far as possible in the rearview mirror by next November. Democrats win if they keep putting up “bipartisan” legislation and pointing out that the Rs are doing nothing but obstructing. They ought to be…

OMG no this is the left not learning anything. The democrats (even the centrists) held hard ALL through this vile process and the GOP couldn’t get their shit together. The Dems are probably extending an olive branch so that they get concessions on something like Medicare for all, which is very popular.

I mean, a couple points: First, Democrats have been united in opposition to pretty much all of Trump’s agenda, especially on healthcare. Even edge cases like Manchin didn’t budge. Second, they have almost zero legislative power—all they can do is slow things down, ask questions, and throw monkey wrenches in the…

We have another three and a half years of POTUS Trump. We have some serious issues with ACA (much of which is government inflicted). If the plan is to wait until we can pass single payer, a lot of people aren’t going to be able to afford care.

This is exactly what they have to do. Go into the August recess talking about ways to work together. Present themselves as the party of responsible governance. Use the recess to go home, talk to constituents and come back with a plan to take the country forward. The truth is that there’s really only so much that they…

I completely disagree here. The ACA desperately needs some legislative tweaking. While leaving it alone would still be better than anything the Republicans have proposed to do on their own thus far, there is room for improvement (including legislative fixes to protect it from Trump’s attempts to sabotage it through…
