We just lost our sweet love, after sixteen years of cuddles, hamming it up for fortune cookies, and blatantly misunderstanding the purpose of screen doors. We never dressed up as a giant squirrel, but the real ones outside the window always gave him joy after gnawing on stuffed plush ones.
My dog would freak out for a life sized lobster toy.
Don’t forget Russia too! I hate how this part is missing from the records. This should be seen as close to an act of war as possible.
More needs to be made of the fact that a Presidential candidate that has had a habit of saying fascistic things and proposing fascistic policies has such solid backing from law enforcement agencies that would have to enforce his fascist policies (FOP, Comey, military, etc.). They seem eager to participate in things…
The infuriating part that it seemed so vauge (by design) that it encourages wild speculation. Completely ridiculous.
Based on what in the world of anything would we just cancel an election and just “give” him anything?
Breaking news: white man with lots of privilege cannot handle losing contest. Just wants things handed to him.
“... her image came to stand as a symbol of the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan.”
Or, more to the point, every aspect of poor and/or black and/or brown people’s lives...
Because they could, and were driven by the knowledge they could treat hemophilia now. Plus it was the 70s. The book Spillover gives a good easy-read synopsis of it.
Um, to turn sideways a bit: WhyTheHell were we importing “commercial blood products” from Haiti? Isn’t it bad enough that the French were collecting Haitian revolution compensation payments as late as the 1960's? What were we doing? Vampiring the lifeblood from the Haitian people?
Maybe she’ll meet a nice girl on her field hockey team.
You know, that brings up something I’ve never understood. The GOP has a lock on being the party of “personal responsibility” to the point where they can actually convince people that things like institutional racism just doesn’t exist. Basically, if a black guy doesn’t succeed, it’s because he didn’t work hard enough.…
But they never fucking learn!! They already DID that after 2012, after all those Republicants embarrassed themselves talking about rape... Conway herself was the one who sent them a “stop talking about rape” memo... Jindal said “we have to stop being the party of stupid”.... everyone agreed “we have to stop alienating…
I’ve always said that I hate that there’s a word for feminist, because being feminist is simply being a decent human being. Like, there isn’t a word for people who aren’t racist. We have racist to point out the wrong side.
That’s been one really interesting thing about the schism Trump has caused in the Republican party, is all of these people crawling out of the woodwork claiming that they just want their party to be conservative (and by definition, support the white supremacist patriarchy that is our status quo) without the…
Michelle Goldberg wrote a piece for Slate a few days ago in which she interviewed a number of conservative, religious women, and came to a fascinating conclusion: Liberal feminists despise Trump for all the obvious reasons, and when we hear Paul Ryan push back and say women should be “championed and revered,” we still…
Trump never hid what he was about; the people who support him are not zombies — they wholeheartedly and enthusiastically agree with his clearly stated positions. She may not like it, and I don’t blame her, but nothing is any different than it’s been. It sounds like she’s finally coming to terms with a reality she…
I hope this maybe convinces some Republicans that maybe, just maybe, the reason us liberals have been calling their party racist and sexist for years was in fact because their party has been racist and sexist for years.
“It’s really hard for a lot of conservative women to contemplate the idea of feminism because it’s been so owned by liberal democrats pushing very progressive policy ideas,” Amanda Carpenter
