I think a lot of these people who criticized the strike demonstrated how US-centric their perspectives are. There’s this assumption that the people who came up with it were all middle- and upper-class women, largely white. But as as Jezebel’s great post on Latin American feminism mentioned, the idea for the…

This kind of bullshit in-fighting is precisely why the conservatives — who, despite all their faults, are ace at holding their noses in the interest of presenting a solid front to their opponents and attaining their goals— manage to get so much fuckery done while the liberals argue about everything under the sun.

A lot of the privilege criticism about the strike seemed to be a race to be the wokest of them all.

Yah, you are right. I just want to post franken 2020 all day everyday and am proud of bob

Oh, I missed that one. Inslee got me when he showed up at SeaTac loaded for bear and pissed about the man who wasn’t allowed to see his wife.

Me too! Ferguson and Inslee make me proud!

WASHINGTON STATE, REPRESENT!

They will fight for us and be smart about it.

Franken/Ferguson 2020!

Hell yeah. We are leading the resistance here in WA and it really is bringing out the best in our Democratic elected officials. I’m proud of us.

Well at least Massachusetts is doing something right. For a progressive state we have been lame-o lately. 😐

This is a little outside the issue of the travel ban, but the US embassy in Kabul has stopped visa interviews for Afghan interpreters:

Call it what you want, it is about keeping bad people (with bad intentions) out of country!

This ban is making Bob’s career. Over the last month, he’s become more polished and camera-ready, and his standing in the state (well, the west side of the state, with all of the people) has been greatly elevated. As a Washingtonian, I love that he and Angry Jay (Climate Change is Real! Xenophobia is Bad!) Inslee…

Something tells me those politicians that crowed about states rights all those years will not be happy about this move.

My issue isn’t with giving her that platform. What happened to her husband is a tragedy, and she should get more attention. My issue is with Van Jones describing Trump’s comments as a historic moment, or what makes Trump presidential.

I said this on another thread, but I’ll repeat it here:

YES! Kaluuya is freaking amazing. The scene where he is being hypnotized? Yikes, I felt so awful for him being forced to re-live an experience he really did not want to. And yes, the auction. OMG. So subtle and yet, so so charged with historical resonance.

Thank you for writing this Clover . I was actually waiting for this from you . I can’t believe how good this movie was . Lines that struck me :

FYI, the movie received 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. That is one hell of directorial debut for Jordan Peele.
