Who said I’m in favor of “life-ending weaponry”? I’m not in favor of assault rifles. I think they should be banned. I think there should be a mandatory waiting period for any firearm purchase. I think trigger locks should also be mandatory and anybody in violation of not keeping their firearms secure should be…

sure, but I think in a practical sense, many people of middle eastern or north african ancestry cannot actually pass as white, making the census definition, you know, useless.

Dude. That is a stretch. How many white supremacist organizations have open calls for people born in Syria? He is not “white.” Go ask anyone form north Africa, Egypt, Syria, the Arabian peninsula, Iraq, or Iran if they consider themselves or are considered white. I mean come on. You made a bad assumption. Just own up.…

If you hate someone due to their race or ethnicity then, guess what, you are absolutely a racist.  Enjoy your hypocrisy.  

If you were to ask your average racist if they think this shooter is white, they will say no. If you ask your average Arab person if they think this person is white, they will say no. If you ask your average white person - Census Bureau employees and yourself excluded - if this person is white, they will say no. Race…

I get why everyone is defending Harry against the snark of the article. It’s not that I disagree with them but I can’t help but feel a bit snarky myself. Sure, maybe he’s qualified, but I doubt there’s not a huge list of people who were moreso, but at the end of the day, they’re not famous. He was hired for the…

Great! I guess all the no fly lists and extra security checks Arab-Americans endured after 9-11 wasn’t racial profiling after all. They’ll be so relieved.

Authorities on Tuesday identified the suspect in the shooting deaths of 10 people at a King Soopers grocery store in Boulder, Colorado, as 21-year-old Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, whose brother said he was deeply disturbed.

Anyone that has been following New York politics of the last 20 years are not surprised by any of this. Remember, Cuomo was the person in his father’s campaign when he was running against Mayor Koch who came up with the campaign slogan “Vote for the Cuomo and Not the Homo!” That was his first major achievement in…

Forget the tweets.How does one go from political reporter at Bustle and Axios straight to EIC at TeenVogue? She’s totally unqualified for the position.

People would 100% spend more money to get royal crap if the royals didn’t have power and we could scramble around their palaces and see stuff up close. There would literally be more money for the guv’ment if the powers were abolished and they were merely hereditary royals.

Even in the live thread there was some big royal defending energy. I don’t get it. They are the ultimate example of mediocrity being rewarded because of who you happened to pop out of.

I’m all for anyone bringing down any royal family. That said- get a job, ya deadbeats.

Having grown up in the UK, I’ve hated the royals, and everything associated with them, for as long as I can remember.

There is no “Royal Blood”. You’ve got A, AB, B and O. Anything else is an affectation.

So the monarchy hasn’t really changed; Kate will withstand anything to stay married (if this is what it’s like); and Heads Together is a bullshit charity if a member of their own can’t get help.

OH boy, I love this one!!!

My favorite was my first date with my husband.

Also, per the CBO’s own (arguably flawed) analysis, while there would be about 1.4 million job losses as a result of the minimum wage increase, 17 million people would directly benefit, to the tune of net gain to low wage workers (even accounting for job loss) of over $300 BILLION.  The benefits outweigh the costs by…

Have you literally avoided or ignored every bit of research and experience from around the world (including the U.S.) that refutes that particular Republican talking point? If so, that’s almost impressively stupid so congratulations I guess.

God, what an obsolete talking point. That myth has been refuted every which way since the 1990s.
