Oh hey look, someone proving my exact fucking point, too bad they’re prolly gonna get removed for hate speech.

The GOP is so exhausting. They couldn’t put the time or energy into figuring out how to run a country or stop a pandemic but they channeled all of those resources into making sure a transgender female in high school can’t play for the women’s basketball team. And to have to fight them on every battleground, while…

There was a Republican who recently gave this quote:

Trans people have been warning of this for a while now but the “love wins” crowd has been too busy enjoying a false proximity to privilege to listen. This is what happens when we forget "you come for one of us you come for all of us". 

The belief that non-hetero lifestyles and identities erode family values is popular among those that think religion should inform policy. I keep hearing “our founders were religious” in defense of this, but they wrote the founding documents as secular, because I think they understand that the Church and the State…

Can you like... Not? Gerrymandering is a fucking thing, voter suppression is very much a thing, and we need to kill those things before we can even try to blame the common person

Honest question: Why hasn’t there been an effort to recognize non-heterosexual individuals in some way with a constitutional amendment? I know the ERA is still sort of in limbo, sort of dead, but it seems like an easy win for Democrats to put it forward and let the GOP fall all over themselves trying to not sound…

Reading the comments... people are ‘tired’ and ‘weary’ and ‘depressed’ because they have to fight all the time for rights.

My partner and I moved from Seattle to Medellín, Colombia in September of 2016. We voted early, because Washington has early voting that’s entirely mail-in. The last time we were in the United States, things looked hopeful and full of exciting progress. We really thought we’d see the first female President of the US. I…

Here’s a good look at the R’s endgame:

It’s also what happens when politicians aren't afraid for their lives.

Please stop bringing up this tired trope.

the same politicians trying to pass this shit are the ones who have been chipping away at voting rights for years. so as a red-state dwelling queer whose marriage may be on the chopping block in the next few years, please miss me with this victim-blaming bullshit.

No problem. As a retired physician who used to have to frequently work weekends, I am sensitive to this. I once had a discussion with my wife about how 3 days is LESS than half a week, not more. She told me that just because I worked 7 days didn’t make it normal.

Your math is off. White Castle is open 24/7, so weekends too. There are 168 hours in a week, not just the 120 of Monday - Friday. So Flippy replaces four employees (OK, 4.2) and he doesn’t cost anything on the health/dental/disability/life plans, 401k match, tuition reimbursement programs, or eat a free meal, all of…

I’m well aware of this fix. But we shouldn’t have to go through hoops to read an article.

Can you fix the bit where it’s a slideshow with 53 slides too?  That’s ridiculous.  

Me too! Very happy for them.

Me too! Very happy for them.

That’s good, but I’m not sure how much that affects the AV Club? I believe the writers and editors here are in the Onion Union, unless things have changed for newer writers. Too bad the not-very-good managers still managed to force out all the longtime staff here. :’(
