In California, Trump’s new budget, according to Jared Call from California Food Policy Advocates, would essentially have the state choose between SNAP and education, an unconscionable choice.

The schadenfreude I am getting from Rapey Ben having a shitty season is just too much for words. It took a really long time for karma to catch up with this asshole in even the most minor of ways but I am enjoying the show. Hopefully we can get a 5 interception a game standard from him for the rest of the season.

This concept had to get past a lot of different eyes before it was given the greenlight to be posted publicly and yet not one person saw that it was problematic? I find that hard to believe.

Your problem is that you are obsessed with Clinton so you think other people are as well when actually people are criticizing your hero Bernie. And when Bernie is criticized your fragile little brain can’t handle it so you automatically go into attack Clinton mode. Even when no one was defending Hillary Clinton. My…

My new rule is that I tend to dismiss Bernie Sanders fangirls who claim to be all outraged over the super-predator thing (while overblowing the super-predator thing) but will bleat on endlessly about Bernie Sanders as if he is some faultless hero of the people who doesn’t have his own issues when it comes to race.

Both Staceys are progressive. This isn’t a case of a progressive Dem and a Blue Dog Dem facing off.

I think that Abrams is a good candidate and I have watched her in interviews and listened to that recent debate with Evans and really do see her as being a much better politician and campaigner that Evans.

it certainly is more pertinent than throwing our lot in with the old white woman who was taking money from the very private prison industry who house Black people who were once referred to as “super-predators” and gleefully advocated for provisions in law that locked more of us away.

This is a very disappointingly surface level article that really doesn’t reflect anything that happened in Birmingham’s mayoral election. William Bell wasn’t some uber-conservative Dem and Woodfin is no lefty pseudo-socialist.

I wonder if trump’s welfare plan will include training for people so they can go back to work or will they just make the demand and leave it up to luck for these folks to get a job that pays a livable wage?

The crazy thing is that Blake really doesn’t look like the guy they had pegged as the suspect:

Need Nina Turner on that VP ticket.

I am so out of the loop. I thought AirBnB was only for folks who wanted to rent their homes out during times when they would not be there.

I just say want to say how proud I am of everyone who has shown the wisdom and restraint to not play with the assholes in the grays whose posts are just as predictably awful as I expected them to be based on the headline of this article.

BBC News did a story with the woman who ran Trump’s Texas based digital media team: http://www.bbc.com/news/av/magazine-40852227/the-digital-guru-who-helped-donald-trump-to-the-presidency

I’m confused at what you take issue with in the picture...all I see is some salt of the Earth white working class economic anxiety in that picture.

Being from the area I can tell you from experience that the adult white folks in Ridley Park are racist as fuck and Lil Johnny Wypipo learned all of his hateful behavior from Ma & Pa Wypipo.

Watching that tape I heard this woman repeatedly talk about 3 things that upset her:

“I might [cover the holes] if someone actually gave me a really rational reason why I should,” said Brennan, in an on-camera interview with WPIX 11 after the town hall.

Yeah I saw it and I groaned at the “poor inner city athlete gets taken out by drugs” stuff too.
