I want to tell you all something amazing that happened. I live in a small area (less than 500,000) And with two days preps, the local mosque,and an interfaith social justice group put together a solidarity meeting. 450 people showed up. Immigrant Muslims got a standing ovation. Everyone there pledged to protect…

I have been reading up a lot lately on how to change people’s minds (because Trump), and everything I read says facts don’t matter as much as emotions and empathy. When facts are provided, they have more impact when they are delivered by someone the person you are trying to persuade trusts. People also have to hear a…
No, it’s not progressiveness that’s the problem. It’s white people wanting to be victims of something while denying the reality of what racism really is and how deeply ingrained it is across the world.
No idea, but it included this something along these lines:
But can we talk about that performance by Green Day? I get the feeling that many of the people who watch vapidity like the AMA’s are also of the comfortable middle class set that put several white supremacists in the white house. It’s beyond important that artists keep reminding these folks exactly what they did and…
This is a distraction.
Yes but she’s Asian and if there is one thing nasty racist white men love, it’s to fetishize Asian women.
On Friday, Tequila tweeted photos of herself at a private, alt-right D.C. dinner
Too often people mistake “person I’ve known the longest/am related to” as someone who must stay in their life, no matter what. This gal isn’t your “best friend” and hasn’t been in a long time. Breaking up friendships/relationships, etc. is usually painful because it was an important part of/time in your life; but I…
Anxiety Monster: this woman is not your friend. She is your abuser. It is OK and normal for you to feel love for her, because that is what abusers do; they exploit the good impulses of their victims (that’s you). Otherwise, they wouldn’t have anyone to abuse. You wouldn’t stick around for it.
My fear for you is that she would take over your wedding. Not necessarily with her presence, but your fears of what will happen and how to get around her difficult personality.

President-elect Donald Trump is invested in Energy Transfer Partners, who have a 25% stake in the Dakota Access…
Please, please, please, let the Trump-Pence administration’s first full scale scandal... be the contents of leaked emails.
I’m genuinely unsure about what to do about that. There’s a whole large segment of the population that is immune to facts, and so what else can we do but laugh? Seriously, I’m at a loss. Because we clearly need shows like this but the ones who really need to watch it don’t and never will, and now we have to live with…
I was talking to a good friend of mine who thinks we’ll see a wave of white supremacist candidates elected in Europe (Marine Le Pen, Norbert Hofer) & this could seriously be a run-up to WWIII.
Not only has 2016 been such a shit year, with megalomaniacs on the rise to power across the globe like we haven’t seen since the lead-up to WWII (when dozens of world powers didn’t have nuclear weapons), it could also be our last year!
Or the girl in Mike Pence’s Indianastan that was sentenced to 20 years for a miscarriage and had to be bailed out by the state Supreme Court
Jesus. I almost hope she made it up, because if she’s being charged and prosecuted for the crime of being a hate crime victim ... I can’t even imagine.
