White people assholes get radicalized very easily because when you’re spoiled and never face any real adversity, the smallest slights feel world-changing.

the alignment is so weird. it looks like they just got engaged and are trying to show off the ring.

we yanks would sooooooooo take “perturbed” right now.

Thought the exact same thing. So much ick.

If you can survive this, you can survive anything.

Omg—are you from Pinellas County, FL? Because I also prosecuted in that program. 1) Most juvenile offenders don’t realize their peers will judge them MORE harshly than adults. 2) The one time I defended, I witnessed the most overtly racist court proceedings against the young black accomplice I was defending, starkly…

Suicide rates among girls and women of childbearing age are about to go up.

I haven’t been to church since the Sunday after the election. I seriously don’t know what to do. I can’t have conversations with anyone there. My sisters in different states are in the same boat. Our faith and the book we’re reading are no longer reflected for us in mainstream Christianity. They don’t even resemble…

“Fuck this country.” NO.

Liberals, STOP. Stop playing directly into Bannon’s hands. He is a self-proclaimed Leninist whose mission is to “destabilize western society”—presumably to institute Russian-style communism. If you willingly cooperate in his steps towards war, he and his cronies will end up in charge. Not the people. HE WILL.

Dye her hair back to dark brown, dress her like a refugee, and drop her in the middle of syria. Then see how she feels.

My son wasn’t ready until 9. Boys mature later.

I took my kid for a walk down the street so she could then walk away from me after to process. Would recommend.

You don’t have to explain it all at once! I’m a huge fan of partial info until they’re old enough to process it. Finally had the complete talk with my daughter at 7 and gave her the biological lowdown. Wouldn’t change a thing.

that makes one of us. robin hood is literally foxy. (signed: 8-yr-old me)

*MINOR SPOILERS*

Because you are assuming that you know why every white woman or first-time protester was there, and you don’t. Maybe there’s a lot who were brainwashed (er, raised) by racist uber-conservatives from birth, and are only now finding their voices after having cut ties with former family and friends—which is NOT an easy…

Yes, that is a very thorough accountant-style breakdown of our current UN peacekeeping budget. But you do not appear to have weighed a loss of treaty negotiating power, the size of the relative countries, or the way international law works into the balance. For better perspective on how withdrawal from the UN would…

I am absolutely going to pull a “not all Americans” card here, because 3 million MORE of us had the sense not to do this. Our voting system is fucked up, and yes we are trying to change that, and yes there are a lot of dangerously stupid people here—as there appears to be globally right now. But the rest of us are…

Agree with all replies. But withdrawing from the UN represents a significant financial detriment that many Rebublican billion- and millionaires might be unwilling to take on. It’s scary for sure, just....don’t panic quite yet.
