Not enough of a fuss has been made about Ivanka going to Berlin for the W20 summit. She has no qualifications to work in policy, international law or norms, diplomacy, or women’s rights. She has no reason to be the representative for our country, other than being the daughter of the president. She is not a fucking…

Seriously, how fucked up are these people? Being called anti-fascist is a compliment. As was and is social justice warrior. How are those insults? These people are fucking sick in the head.

I find it astonishing that the people who voted for this con man, the “rich” guy that laughably ran on a “populist” platform, have no issue with him stacking the government with family and other cronies who directly profit from obvious conflicts of interest. Paying millions to rent space in Trump Tower? No problem!…

Being a Mexican American in the fair city of Chicago this breaks my heart. Clearly, ICE agents feel that they are above law as does the entire Russian backed administration. When will this insanity end? Everyday is like a punch to the gut.

Ok, two things:

It means it not only happened, but somehow Russia is involved.

Oh, my dude. My fellow ladydude. Listen, I am responding to you because this is the third comment like this I have seen on this piece and l am sure there are more. Do you not see how these types of comments on this article resemble male comments on Jezebel pieces on street harassment or whatever where the guy goes,…

Idk if your white, but I’m white and I’ve seen the pictures of Emmett Till in his casket. I feel very strongly that those pictures are something every white American should see, no matter what their socio-political belief system is. Emmett Till is not ancient history. It happened within my lifetime, and everyone…

No it doesn’t. He’s not coopting anything, he’s helping a gay man get his story out there. As I said, the screenplay was written alongside the man who’s story it was in the first place. In this situation, a white woman completely removed from the reality of racism in American picked out a photo with a lot of important…

Even if her intentions are good, why hasn’t she herself pulled the piece? If my black friends were telling me that one of my works made them feel more traumatized when I was only hoping to help allieviate some of that trauma, I would want to stop displaying it.

Agreed. And she is usurping the larger narrative that Till’s own mother created — a painful and searing critique of racial violence — and justifying that silencing/flattening by saying, “I get to bc I’m a mom, too!”

Near the end of Paul Beatty’s excellent book, “The Sellout”, a black comedian hears the laughs of a lone white couple who has come to see his stand-up, performed in a donut shop in a poor black neighborhood in LA, and says to them, “This isn’t for you. This is our thing.”

Kurt only burns crosses on people’s lawns to honor his father’s struggles against psoriasis.

He’s absolutely wrong tho! The Chicago school experiment PROVED that housing and food insecurity leads to problems in school. These fuckers say shit every damn daaaaay that is just wrong and completely refutable! It’s making me insane.

People respond that way when I’m walking my Doperman. She’s big and the breed is supposed to be intimidating, but she’s ridiculously well socialized and just want to be loved. Kids, however, will come out of the woodwork to play with her (and they’re the only ones who ask if they can touch her before doing so).

We have a red/white husky, and people ask us if he’s a wolf. Super predator eyes and dead-eyed stare are all there, but dog is a total pushover. Our husky/hyena/possum/gator/goat mix - now he’s another story. He’ll let the neighborhood know if anyone even comes to our door. Our subdivision is no longer plagued by the…

Extra skritches for Gracie! My dog once pulled a Lassie and went upstairs to get my dad, after my mom fell to the floor in the downstairs bathroom (with the door closed), semi-conscious with a blood sugar low. He kept nagging until Dad went downstairs. Saved her life!

My recently deceased cat, Bob, did the same when my father left the gas on.

I read this entire article to my cat and he just farted and walked away. So there ya go.
