Well, he did say “I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this century is out, of creating a social platform by which people of our great nation can freely express their ideas and limiting them safely to 140 characters or less.”

I still think NASCAR is boring, but I’m glad someone spoke out and stood up to the Orange buffoon.

I know that, just didn’t want to be that upfront with the pun!

I don’t think he’s really an immigrant tho

Charlie of Charlie’s Angels is, of course, the best-known heroine dealer.

You are “free” because you sold your soul to white supremacy, not because of any virtue of America. Your “freedom” comes at the expense of people like us, regardless of whether or not you were born here. Black and Native peoples were here long before Irish and Italians, and yet they were accepted into whiteness…

“Free” as in equal rights and treatment by the government and society. I understand that your idiocy would cause you to interpret that literally, so perhaps I’ll just let you off with a warning to not come for me. I have little desire to show mercy to a racist invading a space for my people and telling me to leave the…

It might not be fair, and it might not solve the problem, but whenever a community of people finally decides to stand up to their oppressors, no matter how bloody, ugly or out of control it may get ...

And it’s not…

The only reason the Magdalene laundries were discovered is because a developer, who had just bought land from some nuns, found a…

Totally! We are definitely still that provincial. Without a child sex scandal people wouldn’t have gotten over that moment. Some still haven’t! Even the non-Catholics were like, SO DISRESPECTFUL SHE MUST BE POSSESSED!

It definitely said so much that people in this country were so shocked. It was before the sexual abuse coverup scandal. I really think we’re still that provincial.
