More and more it seems Corey Robin’s thesis of conservatism as an essentially reactionary attempt to preserve hierarchies of all types is the most accurate explanation of conservative politics.

I’ve been reading The Story of Jane, about the women’s collective in Chicago that helped women find abortions before Roe v. Wade, and I was really inspired by the clergy who worked with the women to fight for abortion access. I just wanted to share this quote from a baptist minister in the book: “Certainly the…

I’m debuting my own.

Islam is a crisis cult used for political and social dominance.

I can’t be the only one who read “Rhode Island’s youngest state senator” in the headline, glanced down to see a video freeze-frame of Paul DiMaio, and wondered “that’s Rhode Island’s youngest senator?”

I don’t understand the outrage at Happy Holidays though. I wish you a merry Christmas (or any other holiday you may celebrate), a great Boxing Day, a fun New Years Eve and a wonderful New Years Day. You know. Holidays. Plural. I hope they are all happy. Who finds that offensive?

I read the story, saw the first comment, and thought “of course.”

I agree with you, but I think it’s a ridiculous situation. Actresses don’t really have any control over which actresses are cast in films, or which actresses wind up on the covers of magazines. Yet every white actress is being called upon to not just care about fighting racism, not just speak to it, but actively do so.

I am done with calling out the actresses on this shit. Call out the magazine, the conglomerate who owns the magazine, etc. This is not her fault. We’re playing games with women who want to help because they arent 100% perfect meanwhile people are getting away with rampant discrimination, assault etc.

Yes! I put forensic files on every night before bed. Something about murder shows soothes me. I think they just always have good narrators and there’s never a jump in volume in the show.

I would kill for a body like that.

I have 4 cops in my family, and will modify slightly to “Fuck these police.” Not just the the police who do this, but those that go along with it.

The only difference between this story and the hundreds of others is they don’t have a bullshit excuse like “reached for something” as you said or “had a toy gun”.

Everything I’ve ever read about this subject indicates that dogs are not true omnivores. They can eat things other than meat, but they are, first and foremost, carnivores. The best measure of how good a given dog food is for your dog is generally “how much meat does it contain?” It is extraordinarily difficult to keep…

It is amazing to me what rich white people in America can spend time and money on.

Can’t get beyond the paywall. LA Times talked about this too, and women of color in this movement.

And Ashley Judd, whom he also attempted to rape.

He may never have raped her, but he violated her all the same.

If you ever saw the short lived Action! Tv show (where Jay Mohr played a sleazebag movie producer who clashed with two sexual assault happy fat and disgusting rival producer brothers), there is an scene there where Hayek (playing herself) is approached by Mohr’s character for a role at a party...and she rebuffs him…
