I grew up in a family of 10, with 18 aunts and uncles. My family, not real big on condoms, OR abstinence (after marriage, of course). My husband was given almost no info, but was told pretty much that all women were just sitting around waiting to accuse him of rape because he smiled at them, OR were just waiting for…

And may I add:

Oh God I am so sick and fucking tired of the American exceptionalism bullshit. Guess what you assholes on the right fringe. We are no more import and no more special than any other place on this planet. I love the USA, I love being an American. But i’m not living in delusion that I am a superior super special fucking…

You know what is tone deaf about him, the council, the police chief, the union, the mayor’s staff and most of the time, most of white america when things like this happen? I’ll tell you. In a normal world of..say, stealing from a company by a CEO, or middle management... or, say, overruns when building a freeway, or…

I worked the front desk at a hotel and would fold sheets sometimes. The owner was flabbergasted that I couldn’t fold a fitted sheet. She looked at me and said “aren’t you a mother?” I just looked at her and asked was I supposed to get the miraculous fitted sheet folding ability when I cooked a human inside me? I said…

I’m puzzled that you’re under the impression that professional sports and politics are somehow separate entities in the U.S. and should be covered as such. You do realize it takes political involvement to have a multi-billion dollar professional sports league deemed not for profit? Or that one of the major American…

You understand that dangerously abusive people come to power and maintain that power specifically by focusing your attention on trivial nonsense, right? Like you took World History 101? And studied the Third Reich? And you know that in his country Hitler was not always thought of as a bad guy and people were energized…

For me, as a person of color and descendant of Mexican immigrants, the question of political leanings is a matter of my safety.

Well, part of that could be that this site is populated by liberals who are viewing their children marrying “across the aisle” which would be Republicans. The other part of it is that liberals aren’t the party that is open supporting intense racism these days. I’m amused you think it’s less tolerant to dislike…

you know its been a weird day when linds drops in with the reasonable take

Happens to me EVERY TIME at work its so frustrating. I am an AMERICAN who happens to have parents from mexico. The man came up to me and asked me where I was from and I said here. And he said NO where are YOU FROM?? and I said LA. And he kept getting even more angry and said NO WHERE ARE YOU FROM??? and I said…

Classic. Relevant.

Thankfully, I have encountered very few people like this. The handful of times I have they tend to assume I’m American because my English is unaccented (or American accented, depending on your point of view). I relish the opportunity to say things like “It’s interesting that you think that, because I didn’t take…

Make a note, anti-Spanish people: The US has no official language. It’s a fact. Also, if you have a problem with people speaking Spanish, you should probably leave California, and maybe just go ahead and leave the US altogether. Lots and lots of people speak Spanish here, probably because a huge portion of this…
