Bernie pulled the party platform significantly to the left. This was a big accomplishment, and something that means a lot to those of us that support a social-democrat platform over a traditional machine democrat platform. He was tactful and well-spoken tonight, carefully aligning his campaign goals with the new party…

I’m really glad you spotlighted this phenomenon. Colonial powers did not engage in direct rule when they didn’t have to and color definitely played a part in their decisions on who to deputize as their local reps.

Right, Katy has songs like Firework about how even a plastic bag can achieve its dreams.

This has gotta violate US Flag Code, but I’m not familiar enough with it to say exactly how.

It the one hand, I agree. But on the other hand, I’m a bit selfishly glad Kim released the tapes. The news has been non-stop awful. Soul crushingly terrible. And this a welcome distraction. I mean, it won’t stop me from focusing on the things that matter. But it’s nice to see some news focused on something so…

I really hope all of this is for the video for “I Know Places”.

Also the victimhood angle is pretty silly given the fact she got rich putting out diss tracks about anyone and everyone who crossed her path, made no effort to hide who she was targeting and (I assume) never bothered to ask permission or give warnings. I like Tay but girlfriend, you got played at your own game here.…

This is not self deprecating, dum dum. This is deprecating others.

I do think it might be possible and even beneficial to contextualize anti-Black violence in the United States in terms of broader racist and colonialist ideology, which would certainly include the lack of concern shown towards lives in Syria and Yemen and Afghanistan (among other places).

Non-black PoC have so. much. work. to. do. to confront the rampant anti-black sentiments that have been ingrained in so many of us. Yes, the refugee crisis is real and horrific, but wtf does that have to do with BLM? How is BLM meant to shoulder that burden? It’s fucking ridiculous. MIA can go to hell.

No, that second one is a clit ring.

This is some hitchhikers guide to the galaxy level sass.

Actual Trini here with a message for Megan Trainor:

Looking at this old pic of Lil Kim makes me sad. She was a pretty girl, and she has mutilated herself because of colorism/white supremacy/misogynoir/sexism/pressure from the outside world to be something different from what she already was.

Since Yoko doesn’t have her usual tweet here, I am going to offer one in her honor: "American Ninja Warrior is on NBC in 19 minutes."

Milania is the perfect combination of flipping table Teresa and no fucks cheating on the phone in a vineyard Joe. It’s like someone froze their personalities at those moments and then created this beautiful demon child.

This post comes from a place of love and if you don’t get it:

That’s one part of Ye Olde Time Traditional Farming that’s not mentioned much, but yes, there are seasons in which some crops grow spectacularly and others are duds. My mom, who grew up in a large rural family during the Depression, had memories of years in which they are one dominant vegetable or other because some…

We’re a victim of our own success. Industrial agriculture is responsible for making it possible for a large swath of the population to spend less than 1/4 to 1/2 of their income on food. Food produced sustainably is much more expensive, and will remain so (though we will see some savings as local food networks become…
