When I was in college, my Arabic professor used to remind us not to bring our textbooks or homework onto planes with us when traveling, precisely because of crap like this. It’s ridiculous, and makes me frankly ashamed of my fellow Americans.

I saw someone on a flight using Arabic numerals and I found this suspicious. To whom should I complain?
What I don’t understand is why they listened to this woman at all? If she understands Arabic she wouldn’t mistake an innocent conversation for a terrorist signing off with his terrorist boss and if she doesn’t there’s no way she could reliably identify some sounds in a foreign language .
One of the best arguments I’ve heard against restricting abortion is basically the organ donor comparison: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/8/1…
If legislators care SO DAMN MUCH about black and brown babies, they could, you know, address the poverty, lack of educational opportunity, lack of parental leave and affordable childcare options, shitty sex ed and access to contraception and reproductive care, and myriad other factors that actually influence into…
Check out Robert De Niro speaking from his heart, passionately, about an important issue for our children.
The problem with people leaving it up to mother nature to naturally immunize their special snowflakes: mother nature is harsh, cruel, and will kill off your little ones if they are not strong enough to fight off whooping cough. Thats kind of how it works. Nature is not all Wholefoods and corn-syrup free, locally…
Standing ovation. I am so sick of this “Hillary is basically Reagan in a wig!” shit. She’s voted with Bernie 93% percent of the time. She seems to truly prioritize women’s access to reproductive healthcare, which is basically my #1 issue when voting. Hell, she actively blocked the nomination of an FDA head over OTC…
I think this is also a different case than, say, Springsteen. First and foremost, Springsteen pulling out is a bigger financial loss that speaks more directly to the middle class, white, cisgender population. That’s a statement that someone at the level of Springsteen can- and should- make.
PREACH!! It’s incredibly insulting for these parents to suggest that it’s better to expose your children and the people around them to serious, preventable diseases to avoid being autistic [as if that was even an option].
What will happen is the next generation will have many individuals whose parents decided to forego vaccines but they will still fall somewhere on the spectrum. Or they will die from the measles.
My grandmother died in 2003 at the age of 100. Since she lived a good portion of her life before major vaccines were introduced, I wonder what her reaction would be if I could tell her that people are actively against getting their children immunized.
You know those same people are using Clorox to clean their bathrooms.
I’m going to ignore the stupidity of everything else you wrote and focus on one thing you mentioned: black on black crime doesn’t exist.
Condemning their children, along with anyone else who is allergic to vaccines or has a condition that suppresses their immune system so they can’t receive them and are especially susceptible to disease.
My thing about the anti vaxxers are that most of them already have the vaccines in their systems and turned out fine. Now they are just condemning their children to horrifying diseases because of some weird fear of autism which can be proven didn’t happen to them upon receiving their vaccines.
Cool thing of note. Paul Song’s wife is Lisa Ling. Lisa Ling’s sister was once kidnapped by North Korea. And you know who traveled to NK to secure her release? Bill fucking Clinton. Yep, the husband of the woman he just called a whore.
He blatantly called a Hillary a whore. Nice little article Joanna, claiming it's only a little thing. I hate to see Gawker throwing feminism by the wayside to not forcefully defend Hillary
This isn’t nothing and it’s frustrating to have such a dismissive response about it from a blog that’s ostensibly feminist.
