Let’s put this in perspective:

I’m a librarian. You’d better believe I’m going to be in there facilitating reading and knowledge until the library burns down around my ears.

Please don’t let the administration frighten you into staying with someone you don’t want to. You’re going to be fine.

Honestly, if you can’t rely on your partner during your marriage, he won’t save you from a religious fatwa. You can always claim your former husband died - if you don’t live in a small town, you may not be found out. Chin up! And I send you love and courage to take whatever steps you need to in order to have a safe…

Senate After Dark is my favorite Senate. It’s the Senate when they pull out their best lingerie and silken pajamas.

Remember kids, if you’re born rich and then marry rich and then use that wealth to buy favor from a political party, you too can be secretary of education.

Can we send the Dems some pizza and pop for their all-nighter? (I’m from the Midwest so it’s “pop” godd@mn it.) How do I make this happen?

“you’re going to let political opinions ruin friendships?”

The longer I stay on facebook in these dark times, the smaller my circle gets. I’m absolutely livid I wasted any time or energy over the years on some of these people—and these aren’t even trumpers. And before anyone comments with the old “you’re going to let political opinions ruin friendships?”—when people I have…

You say: “To say you are pro-woman but anti-BLM is to be lying about one or the other.”

Said the (potentially white) male. I found this sign unnecessarily condescending. This is not how you win people over to helping in the fight.

While I agree that people shouldn’t feel great that it was only self interest that brought them out. Challenging them on that (at least in a hostile way with a short phrase or question) isn’t likely to get them to march at other rallies that don’t help them. If anything they will stop showing up for the ones that…

Serious question: does the Black Lives Matter movement have a set position on whether they want white people at their protests or not? I’ve read several high profile articles both ways. I’ll admit to staying away, in part because I’ve read several impassioned pieces saying that I shouldn’t go.

I work for an advocacy organization. We all went to the march, with our friends and our families.

Why is it always on liberals (for lack of a better term) to reach out and empathize with conservatives? Where are the right wing think pieces trying to empathize with all the people who are terrified due to the outcome of this election? There aren’t any. Because all this “try to understand! We’re not racists! We’re…

I’m sorry?

The Holocaust by Bullets by Patrick Desbois is a great read about a lesser known part of the Nazi killing machine.

Yes, the massacre of the Soviet Jews was one of the reason the gas chambers were put into far wider use. The psychological toll that executing people all day, every day was putting on the troops that carried out the task made the Nazis look for less personal means of executing massive numbers of people. Also, firing…

Nazi Germany did kill others including- from wiki and including documented proof
