Half a billion dollars might seem like a lot of money but only if you look at it from every conceivable angle.

I don’t really give a fuck what you think helps our cause. You seem pretty determined to shut down ideas of the people actually affected by abortion restrictions, so until you can get pregnant, please continue sitting there with your thumb in your asshole. Your keyboard smells like your ideas- shit.  

THIS IS NOT CHRISTIANITY!!

I think the point being made is that the capitalist system is inherently designed to keep people down and to do damage to them. By attaching this sort-of “empowerment” lens on what amount to personal minutiae we’re doing a huge disservice to the larger issues of actual equality and parity.

YES TO THAT BULLSHIT NAME CHANGING ARGUMENT! (This is the hill I want to die on, which I realize is futile and pointless, but whatevs.)

You’re butting up against this idea that is closely held among the right-wing that anyone who breaks a law forfeits all rights and privileges and is no longer a part of society. This “crime and punishment” mindset feels that it’s 100% ironclad, and to even be accused of a crime is tantamount to treason because “good…

He was named for Jefferson Davis and General PGT Beauregard. His father’s name is Pappy McSlavery Overseer Crackerman and his mother’s name was Oleander Kudzu Southern Belle That Black Boy Whistled At Me So Let’s Lynch Him.

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…

The Trumpenproletariat must be dealt with.

I think our only possibility at this point is to refuse sex. Forget Viagra. No man gets sex until he calls his Congressman about women’s rights. The calls will be overwhelming.

Grr. It’s that oblivious attitude that’s making me want to beat my own medical pros around the head and shoulders with a clue by four. I had to have a meds check in early December, and my blood pressure is slightly elevated. (I have a heart murmur, thus med checks and monitoring.) I was very clear about why and got…

I wish I could star this more than once. It is not unethical to alt-handshake a Nazi; it’s a duty. Just spitballing here, but Catholics, could you make it a sacrament?

Those civil rights battles of the 1960's were also fought with violence. Cities across the country burned as African Americans and their allies fought back with violence towards the enforcers of Jim Crow and state racism. Malcolm X & the Black Panthers terrified whites with additonal threats of violence and rightfully…

Like in WWII.... love followed by air superiority and massive tank divisions.

Touchy feely thought Clinton would sail into 1600 PA Ave. and ended up getting Trump elected.

I’m rather concerned this is really unfair on weasels who are after all, smart, hard-working, well-groomed animals just looking out for their families.

Agreed. Nothing I have seen from Trump shows that he has any actual ability to shrug something off and in fact the problem seems to have grown with his rising level of power. One of his very basic campaign premises was fueling the Red voter off a steady diet of anti-immigration isolationist rhetoric. Even if he…

It’s a much, much better measure. Cardiac cells are extremely simple; they’re one of the first things one learns to create when working with stem cells, because they’re hard to fuck up and easy to make. (Not my personal area of research but I have students on the cellular track.) Get more than about 20 cardiac cells…
