Im currently doing my MA dissertation on the difference in media representation between Islamic and Christian terrorist attacks since the early 1990s.

Fun fact: In the United States there have been more armed attacks by right-wing extremists in the 15 years since 9/11 than there have been by Muslims.

This article is an emotional roller coaster. It’s got:

Won’t get super specific because it’s impossible to provide context, but when you’re in ethics and the professor regularly says things that make you wonder how many times it took him to pass the MPRE it’s not a good thing.

Sally is a Hero!!!

Seriously. I assumed he’d take at least a year or two to really fuck things up, but he’s gone and done it in a week.

Omg that woman was a freaking rock. Brava, and I’m so sorry on behalf of our beyond fucked country.

For now. The executive order talks about giving preference to Christians when/if immigration from the banned countries is reinstated, thus paving the way for future more sweeping, more openly religion specific bans. Unconstitutional, of course, but its not like that matters anymore.

This is what America did to the Jews in WWII. We are literally repeating history and no one is stopping this.

WHAT THE FUCK, SHERROD BROWN? Here I was, thinking he was going to be the one elected official from Ohio who wouldn’t embarrass us this year.

Please add Bruce Jones, of West Chester, Ohio to your list. He posted on Facebook that women who marched were probably mentally ill, and also made reference to the “Transvestite alliance.” He has been fired from his real estate firm, but refused to step down or apologize.

Every day for the next four years:
