And so soon after he instituted a sexual harassment policy 2 years after his presidential campaign.

Thanks for this. Black people are stereotypically associated with urban areas, the projects, etc. Stories about black people and our connection to the land are rarely told. My grandfathers and father were gardeners, fishermen, and hunters. They hunted and fished in the most rural (and whitest) parts of Virginia and…

100% of the white members of the Virginia General Assembly over age 35 have similar photos, Democrat or Republican. The Republicans likely have some from this past Halloween. 

I attended college in Virginia in the 1990s with white people. This does not phase me as it is par for the course for “Virginia gentlemen.” Virginia Republicans are going to try to make hay out of this, but please understand that this is the party that 1) nominated a white supremacist for governor *last year*, 2)…

Obama had free community college.

This is pitiful. “not what Vermont is about”— it’s EXACTLY what Vermont is about, which is what Misch was trying to tell everyone. They don’t even believe that hate speech is harassment. The man stalked and harassed her, possibly broke into her home and vandalized her property, but evidently because it was done with…

The rule isn’t about dreadlocks though. It simply pertains to long hair.

This very white product is for a very white constituency: Preppers.

It’s ridiculous that they don’t allow the compromise position of pinning up the hair or ponytails or buns. It’s their way or the highway. I don’t really see this as a racial issue since white boys with longer hair would be expected to cut it as well. But the rule is overly strict.

MLH called for a one-state solution, so no.

How does Marc Lamont Hill propose creating a free PALESTINE from the river to the sea without eradicating Israel? How does that work? He can, “what I had meant was,” all he wants, but one is not possible without the other. This is like when white supremacists say they want a white ethnostate in the US, but that they…

All the people with the correct opinions are now in the greys!

The Speaker’s job is not to be media-savvy or charismatic. It’s to whip votes and keep her caucus together. She does that better than any Speaker of the last 30-40 years.

All the good comments are now in the greys.

In one night, Democrats won back 333 seats of the 900 or so lost over the last several years. But our wins are “increasingly rare.” 

Yep. Democrats won the “popular vote” in the House by SEVEN POINTS, and still only *just* got the majority of seats.

You are right and everyone else is wrong.

The candidate that just up and says “Look, coal jobs are not coming back, here are the alternatives, here are the policies I will enact that will help you transition out of this shitty job that’s dying into a job that’s less shitty” is the candidate I’ll vote for. Which makes it tough because basically no politician…

Each iteration of “OMG, did you see this mildly bad post that Joy Reid wrote A DECADE AGO that we probably would have been okay with had we read it contemporaneous with its creation,” gets weaker and weaker. She’s a better person than me to keep apologizing instead of calling out the disingenuousness of the attacks on…

I want to star this a bazillion times.
