Being disliked by Donald Trump would have to be any decent person’s goal, right? If I were Harry I would be wondering what I had done wrong to get Trump to wish me well (honestly probably not his fault. He’s a famous white man, and I think that’s generally enough for Trump).

I have a friend in Illinois, where apparently the southern parts of the state want to secede from Chicago, which is too liberal for them. They also complain about how much money goes to the city, not realizing that the rural southern part of the state is capturing way more money than the city on a per-capita basis.…

Yep. Just another way to funnel tax money away from blue states while pretending this is not just economic redistribution. I’m totally in favor of transferring money to poorer parts of the country, but this isn’t the way to do it.

If they’re going to defund places with high rates of gun violence, NYC and Portland are dumb places to start. New Orleans, Memphis, and Birmingham would be more logical.

Okay, that’s fair. I don’t think that’s what this program is doing, but you’re right that there are weight/eating related goals where it makes sense to talk about accountability.

I want to reserve words like “accountability” for things like taking ownership of racist things you’ve said, or working to fight climate change, or helping your kids with their reading. I don’t think it should have a place in discussions about trying to lose weight.

And Troye has already been under attack, even by the vice president, a man she continues to say she holds an extreme amount of respect for.

As a proposition, who can quarrel with the proposition ‘Black lives matter’?

Thousands of Japanese-Americans forcibly sent to internment camps beg to differ. As do American Indians forced to leave their homes because white people wanted more land. Or asylum seekers caged for fleeing violence at home, including little babies. Yeah, being asked to stay at home except for essential trips doesn’t…

Will the diaper boy never learn?

They’re anti-vasectomy as well.

They strive to be a place where any racism that happens is not documented on a widely shared video.

Yeah ... it wasn’t a very realistic hope.

“Why did you throw vulnerable people like me under the bus?”

I hope no one is persuaded by this bullshit. Having the ability to control ones reproduction is not remotely the same as “making womblessness normative”. It’s definitely true that medical science prioritizes men and male bodies, but having access to a birth control pill is a genuinely good thing for women.

If this is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

omg, watching the Pats win and Tom Brady lose on the same day was just amazing.

Right, and then his apology is “I didn’t realize this would be offensive”. Of course you did, that was literally the whole point of the exercise.

And they’ll applaud ICE as they deport migrant children and put them at risk of trafficking.

Meh, as long as they wear them when they’re around other people, I don’t really care if they wear them in the car as well. Not doing any good, but also not doing any harm.
