Thank you. This 100x. And these people are on record even before the reelection saying “She may win the election, but she will never rule the country”. They tried to claim the election was flawed by asking for a recount, tried to not allow her to actually do anything by creating congressional paralysis, and then…

I agree but my point is that what she did was not an issue worthy of removal from office - or at least, had never been worthy of removal before her term.

I was in Sao Paulo a few weeks ago (arrived the day Dilma got suspended). The people I talked to — all of them liberal and sympathetic to her ideology — said she was just a bad leader who made too many promises.

The process may have been legitimate but the ‘crime’ she was charged with was a practice that other Brazilian presidents have done before. At most, she should have been censured, but it was merely a pretext to get her out of office.

Jezebel also publishes articles that expose the“retrograde culture” of the US, though. There are articles about women’s rights being rolled back almost every week.

Race is perceived differently in places like Brazil in that a person that looks obviously mixed but has paler skin may be called “white” there, but make no mistake that anti-Blackness is the law of land, and Black Brazilians are severely under-represented, even though the majority of the country is either Black or…

And they’ll ignore the hundreds of years of foreign interference, colonialism, slavery, and the US-backed coup and say that all of the country’s problems must all be down to an inferior culture. That phrase “retrograde culture” just made me furious.

My brother has schizophrenia. His life has value. I could never imagine writing something like that about him. Just FYI people, stop making psycho or schizo into a slur. Stigma is a real problem and contributes to the devaluing of the lives of people who have thought disorders.

Okay can we talk about xoJane lately?? The other day I read the one from the woman who says that she thinks straight men just become gynecologists to grope women and I just

Holy shit yes. I hadn’t been by the site in about three or four years, and a couple weeks ago I found myself there and was just appalled. It’s all horrific click-bait headlines from awful people telling awful stories about awful things.

Please show me where I said she wasn’t entitled to her opinion? Have I said “You shouldn’t be upset about this”? I said I thought the article was dumb and an overreaction. People are free to think otherwise.

People aren't missing the point, they're saying the point is stupid. Which it is.

“always thought that was a disrespectful line in the song anyway”

My rage-o-meter is in the negatives on this one guys. This is a dumb take.

THIS IS LIKE WHEN YOUR 22 YEAR OLD(?) BLOGGER DIDN’T KNOW ALL THE WORDS TO BABY GOT BACK.

Why is everyone so hung up on this free college thing? College should be free, in a perfect world. I dont think it ever will be, though, even if Bernie was president for 8 years.

Of course it won’t be easy, but it’s not like it’s all or nothing with his proposals. If we just get publicly funded college and Wall Street reform, that would still be a win.

Your case is bullshit, and your reply is not witty at all. I’m so sorry. Please don’t talk about things you don’t understand. Thank you!

I just wrote an enormous check for my taxes this year. I’d prefer that 60% of it didn’t go to the military or subsidies for giant corporations. I’d prefer it went toward education and infrastructure. That makes me a bad person?
