“...it was not just for those that fought for it. it was for ALL. Freedom was for all...”

Slaves (who escaped via the underground railroad) when the emancipation proclamation was proposed: “I had to suffer as a slave, those young blacks shouldn’t just get freed for nothing when I wasn’t free at their age!”

Tank you for this.

Someone far wiser than me had this take: if their preferred candidates of either Sanders or Warren don't secure the nomination, they return to the Senate. In that case, the best way to help them wield power and influence is to elect a Democratic president (no matter who it is) and reattain a majority in the…

Just checking to make sure this was being shared. It makes my goddamn week.

I am so very sorry that people suck. And yet, I am getting an indescribable amount of joy from these segments. Keep being awesome, all.

Who’ll drink and read hate-mail with Kristen, though? I feel like that position should be filled voluntarily, rather than nomination. Either way, it won’t be the same without Alanis.

“Amendment people are hilarious: ‘1. Freedom of speech, 2. Right to bear arms, ...I’m tired.”

The day after the election, the first thing I heard from the company president at my work was “Yaaaaaay!” I knew right then that he did so because of an expectation of lower corporate tax breaks, and my (internal) response was: “The admitted sexual assault wasn’t disqualifying to you?

I gotta be honest, if you could charge it easily on a nightly basis (and cold weather sapping a portion of the overall battery range wasn’t a thing), 130 miles would be fine for city-dwellers. But those do seem to be overall concerns, so if I were going to pay $27k despite those compromises, personally, I'd be looking…

“Fake black man Shaun King,” ah, I didn’t realize that you were the adjudicator on blackness. My bad. /s

Ugh, you’re right. Up to you to decide if I’m addressing you, or if it’s onomatopoeia.

You are not an intelligent person and no one values what you have to say.

A heartfelt ‘thank you’ for this.

But that pending science won’t stop him from *acting* like one!

Republicans have a better track record of failing upward, I guess?

She’s also twice his age, and some of that time during her career had some very positive economic periods (especially for privileged people—not a slight, mind, she’s worked hard to become a lawyer and professor at a prestigious university), so I think it makes sense that she has a higher net worth; she’s been earning…

Very interesting interview—thank you, Mr. Harriot, for asking the pointed questions you did, and not simply taking his responses as sufficient answers automatically. The “not disparity—non-existent” interjection is exactly what is needed in today’s media/journalism. I will say that Mayor Pete’s responses were better…

“Does murdering people make you a murderer?" JFC.

I literally cannot agree more.
