Truth? I haven’t seen any more of this than the small clip above, but I hope they had more substantial commentary than that smarmy chuckling. This is what? Two pages of a 12-year-old tax return? That’s nice, but what about the years leading up to this latest run for President? And who even would give a shit if it…

They recently detained and interrogated beloved Australian children’s author Mem Fox. Not directly because of the ‘ban’, but because of the way those heavy-handed tactics bled out to all other travellers. So the coverage has made the issue widely known in Australia amongst the sort of people who wouldn’t care if it…

Orrrrrr...

The distinction so many of the online reactions to the dismissals seem to be missing (and that I’m really glad this article makes note of) is that dismissals of this sort are completely normal for incoming administrations (former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush dismissed similar numbers of US Attorneys),…

Yeah, because they’ve normalized every nonsense from the right for 40 years with their “fair and balanced” approach of giving equal voice to both sides on ever issue, never mind that one side is batshit insane and flat-out wrong.

The establishment media always calls them “alt-right”, and Trump’s lies are “falsehoods”, his operatives “misspoke” when they lied and perjured themselves. Always gotta be fair and balanced.

Ugh. I was a single mom in law school (not married though). I used a few gov’t benefits for up to three years. I didn’t even apply for everything I qualified for, which I regret so much now. But I was too proud to get any more than I absolutely needed to squeak by.

I dunno, if I was in your shoes, I would have a hard time avoiding thoughts of the women who will lose control over their own bodies and lives, of the poor people who will die of preventable medical conditions because they won’t be insured, the immigrant families that will be torn apart and/or imprisoned for the crime…

You were the one who decided to pipe up here with “I didn’t vote for Trump or Hillary lol,” so yeah, I’m going to tell you to go fuck yourself, and bummer for you if you don’t enjoy that. Libertarianism is a childish fantasy for people who are pathologically selfish.

Yeah, this is my feeling, that Trump supporters can’t in fact defend why they voted for Trump, because it was a gut feeling and they don’t want to examine it too closely, because that gut feeling is about white male privilege and the hatred of the “other”. Which is why they resort to claiming “I voted for him because…

That doesn’t fucking matter. If you didn’t vote Clinton, you bear some personal responsibility for the horrors that are about to befall the most vulnerable in our society. Your ideological purity is less important that the material wellbeing of the people who are going to be harmed more by Trump than they would have…

The problem is voting with your conscience. I don’t know if you’re black or not, but voting with my conscience is not something I have the luxury of doing. Since 1996, I’ve voted for someone I didn’t agree with in all but one election, and that was Obama 2012. You be an adult and you vote for the person who is going…

Right, I remember when i first heard about the “safety pin solidarity” thing, I was like “Cool, I can do that, I want to show support,” but then right away there was a counter-response from many different groups of people about it being a hollow gesture, which I hadn’t considered, and the more I read about it from …

A lot of the very staunch feminists I know are particularly bad with this, and it’s depressing af. People who have been activists for 20+ years totally unwilling to accept that maybe the politics they have fought for were not sufficiently inclusive and that there’s a responsibility to not just accept that, but…

Early on, I asked my family to explain why they voted for Trump. Everyone said “because of the issues.” I explained the complicity angle; they said that they didn’t “see it that way.” The “issues” were convoluted and unclear. Basically, they’re not sure why they did it either, from what I can tell.

You mean Kylie Jenner didn’t invent wearing wigs??!?!!!????

Waiting for someone to post a selfie on Pantsuit Nation wearing this shirt with their heartfelt story that a POC smiled at them on the subway.

This was my thought.

I get really really tired of the bullshit that being skinny is virtuous or some shit.

THAT’s the white-people-culture thing. Doing something yourself and then claiming to be a “trailblazer” because you’re too self-involved to notice that gazillions of people have done it before you, most of them browner and poorer.
