Weeding out people with “bad genes” is sort of these bigots endgame.

This was one of the most brilliant things about the ACA. Not perfect, and still market-based, but it put forth the idea that any subsequent plan or revision of the plan would have to include pre-existing conditions. This was literally the biggest change from our completely wild, wild west system, before.

The best way to handle Milo is to starve him of attention. Don’t voice outrage at his stupid statements. Don’t print interviews with him. Let him have his troll festival but stay away. Don’t have a counter protest, that just feeds the beast.

Yes, Broomfield has done some excellent stuff, but he also made Kurt & Courtney, a mess of conspiracy-laden disingenuous pablum that bordered on libel and functionally harassed both Courtney Love and Francis Bean Cobain. Biggie and Tupac wasn’t much better and shows that he can at times be stridently…

The science tells us that education does not equal behavior change. Cheney supported marriage equality after his daughter came out. Nancy Reagan supported stem cell research after her husband died of Alzheimer’s. It’s not a lack of education, it’s a lack of empathy. You cannot educate people into giving a shit about…

If you give someone over $1000 of your money, then you email them in response to a message they sent you about services, but that email continually gets bounced back as undeliverable, the phone number they give you comes back as not in service, and you just go on like “Oh, it’ll work out!” then you have no concept of…

Being trans is not a “self-imposed ‘camp’.” Climate change is not a “choice.” Sure, disagreeing with someone about certain specific policy ideas is one thing, but when one group actively denies the existence of another group or tries to use political might to harm a group/the earth, it’s not just people on opposite…

Two things.

I was a teenager living in the suburbs of LA when all of this went down. All of us in the African American community were beyond upset by the shooting of Latasha Harlins. On top of that, the judge who let the shooter off with the fine was re-elected the following year. One cannot look at this without looking at…

You’re doing to women what white people do to black people when they don’t want to talk about racial injustice. Deny that there is a problem because it doesn’t effect you, try to shift focus onto the oppressors and their needs and finish off with an “all lives matter” we’re-all-human platitude to try to end the…

I remember this exhibit. It contained a map of the city and you could see where the riots broke out. There was also videos compiled that were either news footage taken in real time or peoples home videos. There was a timeline of the events of the riots and I believe you spcould scroll through the timeline and see…

“I don’t believe it’s genetic”

And here it is like clockwork . This is not what this piece is saying it is asking us to remember Latasha Harlins name especially in the context of her historical relevance to the issues at the time is that so hard?

“Put simply, the more good or bad sexual experiences, over time, lead people to a role.

Thank you for this I say the Latasha Harlins every time the opportunity presents instead on a blog etc and I am saddened and surprised how many Americans did not know her story before.

A death sentance for orange juice.

$500 for shooting someone with their back turned.

I don’t think his idolization of the Nazi aesthetic is as “complicated” as the director makes it out to be. He fetishized the uniform of genocidal antisemites and brought that influence to gay culture and it remains to this day. It’s improper to try to seperate the uniform from the ideology, the people who wore it,…

The people who were angry about the whole Beronica kiss thing on the show weren’t angry because straight actors were playing LGBT characters. Rather they were angry that instead of featuring a moment that showed Betty and Veronica sharing an honest possibly-LGBT moment, the two characters only kissed to “shock”…
