“ according to Minnesota’s local CBS affiliate, will “allow local police departments to charge protesters for the costs associated with demonstrations.”” 

It’s not an either / or situation. We can assert that Melania has terrible politics AND also assert that she’s a victim of her husband. These two things are not mutually exclusive.

“It’s not big enough, it’s not good enough, you can’t win.”

Eliminating the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Endowment for the Arts means losing the millions of dollars now supporting museums, theaters, and urban preservation projects, and other cultural programs across the country. Many of these cultural institutions depend on federal dollars for…

Eww, but true.

There’s about a dozen of the same ad interspersed with the shade court article on the mobile site. A newcomer could easily believe that the two are related somehow.

Also, there is no invisible hand.

“Capitalism has decent features, but the problem is that it’s inherently hungry - it has no end point, it has no “goal” other than to keep acquiring and consuming.”

This should be a mass protest — berate the Donald on Twitter until he blocks the whole country (or at least half of it).

This is ridiculous. Half of the RNC can’t stand Trump and most of the other half are barely tolerating him. Plus, that language of “the new King” and honoring his birth “this” Christmas is pretty standard for Christians. I detest the orange one as much as anyone else, but damn, let’s keep our wits about us, no?

She didn’t believe in eugenics for racial selection but she did believe in selection against people with intellectual and physical disabilities, which was a core feature of eugenicism. It’s also worth noting that plenty of people spoke out against eugenicists, who were a minority fringe of respectable science at the…

You’re acting as if there’s going to be a next president. Or a country to be president of.

Every time someone says/writes “we don’t/didn’t deserve the Obamas,” I wonder to whom that “we” is referring. My black self and my black relatives and our black ancestors *definitely* deserved the Obamas. In fact, we had to wait too long for them.
