You and I have extremely similar backgrounds, and you are 100% correct. I was terrifyingly sheltered (like, I have diary entries where I obliviously questioned why the cute guy I was flirting with kept asking me if I was 18... fucking yikes) and now I know that mindset is incredibly dangerous and helps no one. We are…

Thank you. I’m like uh, no: 360,000 died to free the slaves. A quarter-million died to keep them.

Well, he was a D student for one semester at a crappy Christian college, so they're not sending us their brightest and their best here.

I always feel like it’s being raised in a way or in a community that’s so insulated that you never question beliefs, and then are terrified by the prospect of that way of life being wrong or not being like that forever. I was raised in a devoutly Evangelical southern baptist household that was also devoutly…

Black people aren’t owed anything because “we [paid] enough when 600,000 Americans died to free slaves.”

In July, Cawthorn claimed that Democrats are the actual racists, for supporting programs like affirmative action. Cawthorn has also stated in interviews that the Black Lives Matter movement has been “hijacked by Marxists,” that one of the biggest problem facing Black communities is “fatherless homes,” and that…

It’s literally been public information for how long that SHE WOULDN’T BE IN CONTROL OF THE FUCKING BUTTON! Stop putting this on her! She did fab, and this is sloppy journalism.

Two men spoke stridently in their indoor voices while Kirsten Welker, the moderator, seemingly forgot about the existence of the mute button and how to use it.

You have to come from money to “see the fiscal benefits of some of the Republican policies.”

Mail fraud and election fraud sound like good terms to me as well.

Ice Cube is dead to me.

Some are bobbing in the middle of the ocean, unmoored.

I wonder if Gadot is aware that she (an Israeli) is playing one of Egypt’s most famous rulers. Because Egypt and Israel...well...you know....

I can’t imagine taking care of two kids on my own. I mean, I’m divorced so I do it half the week but then they go to their dad’s and I take a big sigh of relief and clean my bathroom. And also they are older so they don’t need diaper changes. I know Mindy can afford help but man. Applause to her and all of the other…

The amazing thing is he had so many words, and really never said much of anything. There was absolutely no reason he needed the time he took, I swear sometimes he was slowing down, just so he could go over his time.
It was a blatant display of his lack of respect not just to Harris, but also to Page and everybody…

“the 53 percent of white women too cowed by their proximity to white male power to do the right and rational thing in respect for the greater good.”

Yesterday I predicted the debate would go like this:
