I’ll take the Madonna on the left any day. I could definitely outrun that Madonna. The one on the right can unhinge her jaw and will and swallow youth whole.

That’s the great thing about passing out drunk –no need to undress or remove your pesky jewelry!

If you get to leave that here, then I get to leave this too:

Ah, say no more. My high school Russian teacher would be ashamed that I didn’t pick up on that. спасибо товарищу!

I did read your whole post, and my point is calling it TL;DR is that the basis of your long assertion that the university has some role in providing the forum is based on the false belief/assumption that the university cancelled the appearance. They didn’t. Do you need citations? The UC Davis chancellor came out aga…

It does matter what you call it, because a politician who is ashamed of the evil they do is VASTLY preferable to a politician who is boastful about it.

Please. Any effort to normalize him contributed to his victory. Any effort to make him appear likable and relatable contributed to his victory. That’s not “on me”, in fact smarter people than me have written about this specific appearance and its effects.

Yes, but if your argument is that the people we vote for ought to represent 100% of our beliefs then we can only really vote for ourselves. The problem with your position is that, regardless of the fact that she’s been involved in shitty international injustices, Clinton didn’t run on a platform of bombing innocent…

The student group decided to cancel, which some would argue is what they were planning on doing anyway because it adds fuel to the neo-nazi-victim narrative. If your argument is based on the fact that students protested the event, I don’t really need to know any more about your perspective on this. Your whole TL;DR…

Whoa. Your “ifs” are pretty weak there, and attributing single cause-> effect in this election is pretty silly.

This speech was given a year before Malcolm X was murdered, a month after he broke from the Nation of Islam and the day before he left for Mecca. He and MLK had a complicated relationship, but given the date of this specific speech I think it’s unlikely that this line was directed squarely at Dr. King. At this point,…

Thank you for this reminder. The whole Ballot or the Bullet speech is just amazing. http://americanradioworks.publicradio.org/features/blackspeech/mx.html

I think that your takeaway from my comments is vastly different from my intent. It takes both to communicate, so I own my part, but please re-read my first comment in this thread. I think it’s pretty clear I’m not policing anyone or defining what is acceptable. The funny thing is, most of the replies are people…

Still not really sure why you’re being so unpleasant. I’m grateful that you’re marching and that you support PP. I am always grateful for people who take action for social justice, even when that action doesn’t work for me. I’ll be there with my daughter in tow (maybe we can side eye each other in DC?). Good luck…

“Shut up and tow the line” -gotcha.  

Take no chances! (I don’t have photoshop anymore, so can everyone just pretend I very cleverly put Jennifer Holliday on Costner’s back? Thanks)

The student group who invited him revoked their invitation. The university didn’t silence anyone.

That was a really nice response. Thanks for this. I’m terrified too. Hopefully I’ll see you all on the other side of this political shitshow and we can disagree about less frightening things, like how knitting is better than crocheting. <3 

Propping up a candidate, setting up a presidency. We good?
