So true. See also Ken Burns’ 6 hour documentary “Prohibition.” It lays out how that movement - over sixty years- tapped into every raw nerve from domestic violence and women’s suffrage on the left, to religious fervor, xenophobia and antisemitism/anti-Catholicism on the right.

If they really want to do a profile piece on “forgotten Americans,”maybe they could, I don’t know, go down to the Res and do some interviews there. Or any of the countless other nonwhite groups out there that we (wypipo) in America would very much like to pretend don’t exist anymore, because thinking about all the…

Daniel Okrent’s Last Call, a succinct and accessible history of the United States’ period of alcohol prohibition, contains a chapter explaining precisely how the US census and subsequent redistricting/jerrymandering were deployed to enable the Drys to take control of Congress when the nation as a whole was overwhelming…

“The American heartland” always seems to mean unsophisticated red state WASPs. I really don’t care if I hear another word from them. We know who they are from whom they’ve voted into office (and stand by); and only courtesy of an outdated system, they are wildly overrepresented in congress and the electoral college,…

I’d actually be down to use a vehicle like that, brand new of course and not heavily ‘used’. It’s certainly a unique experience and probably a big rush.

Just want to say you sound like a lame fucking weirdo.   Like a stick in the mud nerd.   I bet all your friends hate you. 

Trump didn’t win. Hillary lost. I voted for her. But the DNC caused all of this, with their myopia and arrogance.

I’m glad to have Michael Moore on our side. Is he perfect? No, but he’s ours and he’s earnest. He gets people talking and moderates pick up what he puts down, the right hate-watches his films. He’s not our savior, though. Only us, collectively, can turn the tide against the normalization of Nazis. If we expect one…

Her Aunt game is on point. 

When I saw the haircut I knew it was going to be official.

I mean ... I’m disturbed by the fact that I found this low-key amazing—and for a split second legit wondered if Susan Mary could solve racism.

I don’t know but something tells me she isn’t faking the funk. So far her FB page hasn’t said otherwise.

#11. What political party does she belong to and supports? Who did she vote for in 2016?

It’s a double standard many hypocrites endorse shamelessly. It’s cute when women talk about the sexual proclivities and abilities of men. It’s disgusting when men talk about the sexual proclivities and abilities of women.

Yeah, Imma need somebody to shake some sense into this morena who seems to not own a mirror. 

So, “Bela” or whatever her name is has her well-documented issues. But what’s up with this Darcell Obregon and the “I’m not Black, I’m Hispanic” bullshit. People always want to run from their strengths. In this case, an unfortunate and commonplace issue I have with SOME Afro-Latinx folk: Somehow because you are…

Whoa. You're right, but come on. Chill.

I only saw a clip, but apparently, Casper Van Dien (her husband at the time) has a much higher bullshit detector than you would have ever expected. According to her she brought him to one meeting with the leader dude and Casper was like “Um, yo, this is a sex cult scam?”

God, I really just hate this shit. There is nothing about this brand of feminist marketing that makes me feel anything other than empty, especially not when I’ve spent all weekend having to confront the misogyny exhibited by members of my own family. The juxtaposition is just—I still do not feel inherently empowered…
