‘82, sorry - as others have said, I was referring to the Chinese Exclusion Act.

So, anyone else not believing a single fucking word of this post, starting with, “I don’t have a problem with women in movies,” and ending with, “I’m a lifelong liberal?”

“Without immigration restrictions, there are no national borders. Without national borders, there are no nation-states.” 

That’s specifically referring to ballots that are rejected because of the signature. Up until this point, you’ve been talking about ballots that were rejected because the marks on the ballot were unclear. Those are two different problems, and I’m not sure how computer voting machines eliminate the problem of…

There really isn’t such a thing as a voting machine that doesn’t interact with the internet, though. Sure, we can make machines that don’t have a literal ethernet plug on them, but you still need a way to get data onto them in front of the next election - and that means its going to interface with an internet-enabled…

I do trust ATMs not to skim money off my account. But I’m not the one who proclaimed “I don’t trust any group of people to do anything right.” That was you, remember? Except, it turns out that wasn’t true at all - you trust tons and tons of groups of people to do things correctly.

“Reading his proposal, he does not seem to take into consideration that not everyone lives in the state of Tennessee, where the cost of living is significantly lower than that of someone living in Los Angeles or San Francisco.”

File this headline under, “Meanwhile, in Thunderdome..."

Suddenly, I’ve reversed my opinion on Disney’s attempts to sue this guy for trademark infringement.

Yeah, make it so that law enforcement can bust you for your musical tastes, and they’re still not going to bust guys like Beierle - but they sure as shit will use that law as an excuse to lock up anyone playing vintage Ice-T.

“How long until white supremacists ask for protected class status?”

That sounds great, but are they doing anything about their incredibly crappy food?

Which means that nobody resigns, because Republicans absolutely do not care about the racist shit their elected officials do.

“This is one of my complaints about so many intersectionalists(? probably not a term): always advocating that others consider and deal with complexity, but less rigorous when it’s their turn to do that work. Good for the goose, good for the gander (whether cis, trans, or otherwise).”

Also, the lesson that…

“But if we’re being intersectional at all in thinking about this incident, isn’t it worth focusing on (or at least noting?) that this is anti-trans anger coming from those who believe they’re defending the rights and safety of straight and gay women who are biologically female at birth”
