It’s really striking and interesting, as we move into the “modern” era, to see the difference between public fathers who are old school, hands off, father knows best types, and public fathers who are actual (at least part time) caregivers. Even comparing Bill Clinton/Chelsea with Donald Trump/Ivanka, it’s really clear…

There’s only been a few in the modern era, no? The only one I can think of is the schmuck who wrote in John Edwards but spelled his name wrong.

Nah, for the voters that are currently supporting him, maybe the only thing that would sway them is him attacking someone’s blonde daughter in front of them.

Seniors are generally a separate category of absentee voting—if you meet certain requirements in (every? most?) your state, you get an absentee ballot. This is the case even in states where getting an absentee ballot is very difficult--often, caretakers or other people who genuinely cannot leave their job on election…

Fuuuuck. What did you do when you saw him?

In a year, this is how these people are gonna spin it: “Trump said such nice things to the black right before the election! They’re ungrateful- what more do those people want us to give them”

White, Republican, suburban or rural women—they are functionally racist (make a point of living in white communities, send their children to white-only or majority schools, attend white-only or majority churches, think drugs penalties should stay the same or get harsher) but still have the Republican out of pretending…

Maybe she enjoys performing the way she performs?

To be fair, I imagine blacklight doesn’t distinguish between fluids, so it could also be covered with jizz!

I’m not saying it’s easy to untangle. In today’s political climate, in a city where hijabis and other visible Muslims have been attacked, and where I have Muslim loved ones who have expressed fear for their physical safety, I’m not really inclined to give a shit about people who spread horrific Islamophobia.

The Green Party is going to get good candidates once they start grooming them from the city level upwards, and any other theory is a waste of time.

Considering that the people and groups that she is generally attacking are also historically (and currently) marginalized groups who are often the victims of violence, at what point does the harm she is causing outweigh the harm that was done to her?

Because people who experienced male privilege and who continue to experience a great deal of white and economic privilege must be critiqued at a higher level than they otherwise would have.

I mean...one assumes that the purpose of literature is to convey some information and/or emotion. Dylan, having started as a protest artist, presumably intended to convey some political messges; having started as a political artist in America during the 1960s, presumably he had an anti-war message intended at…

If I remember correctly Dylan started as a protest singer in the anti-war 60s, so it’s not unreasonable to use that word refering to his reputation. People are so semantic-obsessed on kinja.

Boob Smitty and Biff!! I feel like I’m stuck at the boarding school Holden Caulfield got expelled from!

Do you understand what Assad and Russia are doing to Aleppo? I’m tired of this meme that the US or HRC are unilaterally responsible for Syria. I’m not advocating for intervention, I’m saying: there are monsters even without the US getting involved.

So those of us who are actively working against that...what did we do?

White dreads are disgusting, smelly, and bad. Black locs are generally neat and smell like normal clean-person hair.

Hey now, he will not allow this to stand.
