The most tone deaf thing about it is that that’s what parents should be teaching their kids to do all damn school year. Not one day and then ignoring the other issue altogether. It’s about our pathetic excuse for gun laws and safety in this country. You can be nice as hell to someone with mental issues and they’re…

Seriously...the idea that a murdering asshole can be prevented with smiles and hugs is just insane.

Saw the group on Facebook because someone I’m friends with commented on one of their posts. Anyone who asked why can’t it be both was ignored, while those damning the kids for walking out were applauded. Its rightwing deflection.

It’s funny.....all the adults who for years have shit upon Millenials (now adults) and other kids....complaining they’re lazy, selfish, absorbed in their phones, have no direction, don’t vote, don’t care about issues etc etc.

The Vane is sorely missed.

Yup... former coworker I’m still friends with FB is apparently as conservative as they come... and has been sharing this all damn day. She’s got two high school girls too. Some people just can’t see past certain things.

This. I think getting the more conservative areas used to the idea that center-left (or just center) Democrats can be effective leaders in their areas means that, down the road, we could shift more geography blue.

I’m all for a move for more progressive candidates in the Dems - but we also have to at least pay lip…

Democrats better figure out how to use the opportunity.

Conservative Democrats getting elected in conservative districts where previously there were ultra-conservative (or just radical) Republicans is still a win. Voting with you sometimes is better than voting with you never.

The annoying part about this victory is that every side has to point to larger things other than “Democrats are doing well.”

So, long story short, if Lamb’s victory holds, it will be largely symbolic

It’s nice that the Bank of Canada has changed their Twitter header to a picture of this bill.

Nova Scotian here (the province where Viola Desmond was from) Just a couple things: I don’t think Canada put Viola Desmond on the $10 to apologize for racism. The Bank of Canada asked for nominations for a woman to honour on our currency, and a lot of people were suggested (the Famous Five, Therese Casgrain, Agnes…

What gets me is that if it’s that important for him to fly in a private whatever, pay the fucking difference yourself. They can all afford it. Have someone look up what a coach ticket would cost and cover the difference. Basic fed employees don’t even get to have microwaves or coffeemakers in their break rooms unless…

As they say: when you’re accustomed to hegemony, equality feels like oppression.

I loved this movie so much. I enjoyed the book as a girl, and it worked for me on that level. More than anything, though, it felt like a love letter to my 13-year-old self: another biracial girl with a Black mom and an absent dad, who hated her hair and glasses and thought she would never be good enough. It was so, so…

I loved “Wrinkle.” It’s different from the book, and yeah, it has some problems, but it is magical in its own way. (I was disappointed that Aunt Beast didn’t show up, simply because I wanted to see how they’d depict her.) My niece is biracial and Meg-like in many ways, and is about the same age as Storm Reid. I kept…

Wrinkle was absolutely perfect.
