I hope Pareene apologizes to you ladies daily for his bullshit “don’t vote” recommendation.

The thing is, most of the Cuban immigrants were refugees that were given legal status/citizenship and have conservative leanings - they look down on other Latinos who aren’t in their cushy situation. AKA I’ve got mine so fuck yours.
It is a betrayal. And it’s why we lost, and are continuing to lose. Because we let fucking cowards be our representatives. They should be fighting tooth and fucking nail on every one of these nominations. Not a single one of them is even a quarter of a percent qualified. Our only chance at this point is if we can…
I really, really want to believe in Sherrod, but for fuck’s sake - this is what gets democrats in trouble every.single.time. The GOP falls in line and obstructs and blocks and keeps in lockstep in their grinding halt to progress. Democrats shrug and say “well, maybe he’ll do okay.”
I can only assume (hope?) they are backing him because they have bigger fish to fry in terms of the cabinet nominees (like they’ve made a deal that they’ll back him if so-and-so doesn’t back someone else?). This still feels like a betrayal, but there are worse cabinet picks, imo.
This is literally what needs to happen. We need real progressives in office, not people who just give lip service and then become useless when it is time to actually take a stand.
Burn the entire fucking Democratic Party to the ground so we can start over.
I cannot abide.
Was the sandwich lady story first on xoJane? The one who was clearly angling for a book deal about making sandwiches for her boyfriend while simultaneously ruining love and sandwiches?
“xoJane’s Death Was a Blessing.” Too soon?
I feel like a vast constituent of XoJane commenters were people who couldn’t get ungreyed on Jezebel.
The commenters there had a tendency to be...oh, I guess “hideous” wouldn’t be too strong.
I was thinking this past week how great of a spot for empowerment xojane could have been in the wake of the inauguration/marches (similar to how Jez is), but Jane absolutely drove that site into the ground with her terrible choices in articles, from the lazy, uninspired, and downright dangerous (those homeophathic…
Also xojane had an author who said that Jews should’ve just dyed their hair blonde to get out of the Holocaust. Recently they deleted a story featuring a woman defending her brother’s abuse of his infant. Such a shit show. And the contributors were lucky if they got their 50 bucks. Often they were shortchanged…
Not to derail this but the notion of wanting GWB is rubbing me the wrong way. As much as I hate Trump with every fiber of my being Bush literally got us into a war that cost thousands and thousands of lives, his VP profiteered off the whole thing, he was shit for gay rights and the enivonrment and also set up…
if you are rubbing an ornate gilded bottle while you say this, you are part of the problem.
You weren’t aware the cult of Bey has it out for TSwift?
The real reason behind the Falcon loss...
“So proud of Olivia Munn. She faced a lot of adversity on and off the set of X-Men: Age of Apocalypse, but battled to get less than six minutes of screen time. THANK YOU to those of you who encouraged and supported this by talking all about Olivia’s diet and exercise routine and rigorous training, which could have…
Not to be a sports-nerd excuse-omatic, but I think she is referring to the many injuries to the Packers defensive backs, as well as a flu bug that was making its way through the locker room.
