This is some Stasi GDR-era bullshit. However, I take comfort that history will remember this bullshit. Germans today can visit the Stasi headquarters and have access to their personal file, if one exists: “Every individual has the right to request to view his own personal file. Limited access to records on missing or…

CFL!!! CFL!!! CFL!!!

Canada approves of currency defacement

THIS! My in-laws are crazed Trump-supporters, but ALL FIVE of their offspring are huge liberals. The fact that all five saw past their parents’ racist and fascist bullshit is a testament to the ability of critical thinking to overcome the politics you were raised with.

To echo the others, read the whole article. The police later went to his house to arrest him - that part isn’t filmed

2001 prom. Wore a black and pink Nanette Lepore dress. I was outraged when, two months later, Jen Lindley on Dawson’s Creek wore the exact same dress - I thought it was so “unique” compared to all the puffy pink gowns everyone else wore.

White. It can be decorated with decals and works for both genders. Grey is depressing as hell for a nursery

I think she may have mentioned 27 months because children can fly on your lap (aka “free”) up to 24 months old. They don’t let kids older than 24 months do so because of FAA regulations. Had she claimed “they made me ride across the country with my 2-year-old on my lap” people may have shrugged and said “that’s par…

“In fact, many historians and economists say slavery is the reason the United States was able to grow into a world power so incredibly fast. For two hundred years slaves provided free labor for a major segment of the economy, allowing increased production with negligible financial drain on the producers. This was a…

Thanks for the tips! I’ve been looking into local Catholic churches which offer sanctuary. The ACLU provides really broad advice so not as helpful (more on what to do if you witness someone being deported by ICE), but I’ll try MALDEF as well.

I know I’m late to commenting on this article but I’m seeking the advice of fellow Jezzies. I’m an educator at a post-secondary institution. Our college has many undocumented and “DACA-mented” students. Some of them have come to me to speak privately in a safe space about their concerns over being deported. Other than…

When I saw it, I thought Crash was a stereotype of racial stereotypes - and not in a good way. I didn’t think Brokeback Mountain was groundbreaking for the LGBT movement - the way it portrayed a gay romantic relationship was so awkward, as Ledger and Gyllenhaal had no chemistry (See HBO’s The Normal Heart for a more…

Yeah, and they’ll get the same amount of work done in half the time it takes the average American to do the same task. I know it’s a favorite pastime of Americans to make fun of how lazy the French are, but that’s a myth. Yes, they work less hours in a work week, but they are way more productive than Americans, Brits,…

Where will a completely free market system leave people with pre-existing conditions? They’ll be priced out of the market. And hospitals that write-off the cost of care for those who can’t afford it as charity will have to declare bankruptcy. A free market health care system means no care for the poor, sick or old -…

For the love of god, use a HEAVY DUTY LAXATIVE! Stool softener did nothing for me! While it’s no walk in the park to have a laxative, the potential alternative is horrifying. I didn’t poop for 4 days after birth. I had a lot of tearing during my vaginal birth that required stitches. While the birth hurt a lot and the…

Now that they’ve had the ultimate “negative experience” with naturopathy (death of a child) does this mean they’ll prefer medical treatments for their other children?

Agreed. Gender-parity is too often disguised as diversity. Hiring white women doesn’t make an organization “diverse” - it just acknowledges that 50% of the workforce are women.

Sure only 3/15 women are non-white - but again, that means 20% of the female ministers are visible minorities, which is actually representative of the Canadian population (19%). And arguably one the most high profile cabinet positions (Minister of Justice and Attorney General) given to a female MP went to a First…

Visually it looks quite white in the picture, yes. But out of a cabinet of 31 ministers, 4 are of Indian descent, two are First Nations (“Native American” for the Americans out there), and one Afghani born minister. He has religious minorities represented as well in there. There was a lack of Chinese-descendants…

Dear Democrats,
