This is the part about weddings I really don’t understand: you don’t have to invite anybody. Really. My parents didn’t even invite their own parents to their wedding (the just sent the bill for the booze, which was the only expense since they got married on a merry-go-round in a park in SF). And since my dad is…

A photo of a woman on her knees cleaning = support for Trump. I guess she’s staying on brand..

I disagree. There is absolutely no tangible evidence that a god exists. I think it is harmful to give credence to a belief that is not rooted in any logical underpinnings.

Co-opting? Marginalizing? Hate crime?

There are exactly three issues that I consider to be just inevitable: universal health care, gay rights, and legal marijuana. Public opinion has shifted on these issues. No only that, there’s a strong generational divide. Everyone standing in the way of these things needs to either to accept they’re going to lose…

But conversations are frequently useless. I had a relative ranting on Facebook about “illegals” and how much of his tax money they took. He was literally pulling numbers out of thin air. I had figures for exactly how much we spend on anti-poverty programs and could prove that his numbers were impossible (and…

YES that false equivalent shit. Drove me bananas after the election -- maybe we need to sit and listen to trump supporters, find out what they’re feeling and what they’re really angry about. BITCHES VOTED FOR A RACIST I THINK I KNOW WHAT THEY’RE FEELING JUST FINE.

Everyone pissed off at Jeff Varner should be more pissed off at CBS and the producer of Survivor. Zeke Smith was going to be outed the minute he signed up for this show - as winning would have meant going into his bio for the media, which would have included his past. All of the vitriol aimed SOLELY at Varner is…

It’s this tribalism that is the reason the fact that Trump said, “The best thing we can do, politically speaking, is let Obamacare explode. It’s exploding right now.” and so few people batted an eye. This is the elected leader of the United States who claims that national health care is in crisis, and that the best…

No, a book cannot cause someone to become gay. It might, however, help someone to internally acknowledge that they are gay, and thus have more self-acceptance, more self-esteem, and a greater sense of security.

Sean Spicer, March 6:

Same company: a good friend of mine (white, lesbian, married to a woman of color) was told by a coworker, when she started at the company and was open about her same sex marriage, that there was “another diverse” on the team, and that she’d like her. Literally: “a diverse.”

throw yourself right back out of the arena because your transphobia is not wanted here, bigot. especially in the comments on an article about a woman’s murder. how fucking insensitive can you be? fuck off now.

Any leader who calls a free and independent press “the enemy of the people” is an existential threat to democracy.

Can we all agree that Melania is no captive victim here? She may despise her disgusting beast of a husband, but she’s in on the insanity all the same.  

I just wanted to share this pic. Taken from twitter about the LGBT protest. The commitment of this is legit

I am hoping that before they left, the Obama’s installed in the White House three animatronic ghosts programmed to visit Trump on Christmas Eve.

I actually think the fallout from the election of Trump will be a long-term benefit for our country. People have been reminded how active participation is required to buoy a democracy.

I don’t know where Sen. Merkley was with his petty self all these years but now that we’ve found him, we are never, ever letting go!
