I think it’s the hormones? The animals are shockingly huge in the U.S. compared to Canada, because they are allowed to pump them up with growth hormones down here, and personally I think you can tell the difference in the milk and eggs as well as the (lack of) flavor in the meat. From a profit standpoint it makes…

Those kids are going to hate him so, so much. Like, estranged, “fuck your money” never-meet-the-grandchildren kind of hate.

there is no expectation of control.

YES. The Clean Air Act, specifically; that’s over Trump’s head, but not Californians’. All of it was very intentional, I’m sure.

It seems that those who think like we do in fact are forced to be a part of a species that is not primarily concerned with its vitality.

Both sets of parents may have equally good intentions, but that doesn’t mean both sets of parents are equally objectively correct, or equally creating real suffering or harm. Meaning well and pushing for harmful policy isn’t equal to meaning well and pushing for policy that supports the wellbeing of all students.

I can’t speak for the Cuban people, but those that I met seemed comfortable to complain about specific issues, even if they weren’t free to criticize the government as a whole. It’s not North Korea down there! What stuck out to me was a desire to be taken seriously as a player on the world stage, and I think Trudeau’s…

I doubt Trudeau is the smartest person in any room

That. Is. BRUTAL

Castro was an honorary pallbearer at his father’s funeral, and a longtime friend of his family. As a Canadian who studied in Cuba, I have no problem whatsoever with our two countries’ special relationship. Not everything our country does needs to be U.S. approved.

It’s all relative. As a progressive who spends time in both the U.S. and Canada, I find myself frustrated daily at Trudeau (for dragging his feet on First Nations issues, for approving pipelines that will endanger some of the most pristine and valuable land and waterways in the country, for completely reversing…

“The confidential divorce proceedings of Mr. O’Reilly and Ms. McPhilmy have been the subject of numerous articles in the past,” the newer filing argues, “resulting in unwanted media attention and extreme emotional distress to Mr. O’Reilly and Ms. McPhilmy’s minor children.²”

I think there’s an important place for both. The pure mockery from SNL- specifically Melissa McCarthy’s perfect Spicer- is clearly getting under their skin, and it’s accessible to everyone regardless of how closely you follow politics and where you fall on the spectrum. Oliver’s exegesis humor is a balm for those of…

As far as I can tell we’re all on The List babe, we just can’t be too sure of the pecking order, which plays to the fascists’ favor.

Congress seems complacent to twiddle their thumbs and ignore mounting evidence of collusion with the Russians by several of Trump’s proxies during the election, but the Vegas odds are now even on the prospect of his impeachment in this term.

Well said. The myopia of anti-trans gay people is really hard to understand, and depressing as hell.

I missed that. Is this the same Macomb County as this?

Sigh. This is why we can’t have nice threads, people.

Ugh. They’re parasitic, really, taking advantage of every tax loophole and not actually providing good jobs.

It’s getting its shorts in a knot; responded to me five times now. Sigh. Mental illness, folks.
