The apopleptic response to Biden’s victory last night is just incredible to me. Mainstream democrats also dream of universal healthcare, affordable childcare and college, expanding rights for LGBTQ+, compassionate immigration policies, etc. We’ve been dreaming about those things for years actually, and working hard to…

Watching this from Canada, I remain mystified at how Warren isn’t winning this thing in a walk. She has so much in common with Sanders as far as policy goes, that I would think she and Sanders would be more or less equally popular among people who want to see substantial structural change in your country. But she…

“Look, I like Warren, but I just don’t think she can beat Trump” was a nonsensical, self-fulfilling caution. We can argue all day long about whether it was misogyny or not that propelled that argument, but, ultimately, there wasn’t any logic to it. She had great plans, backed up her opinions with data, and listened to…

So Bernie seems to have, after four years of having the chance to learn from the errors of 2016 and widen his reach, failed in reaching the very same groups who he failed to reach last time essentially.

I love Lizzy Warrren. She is smart, thoughtful, and passionate. The only reason she is not running away with this thing is that we —as a country— fucking suck at doing the right thing.

I’m from Texas and find that shit especially bananas here. 1) the U.S. has no official language 2) TEXAS USED TO BE PART OF MEXICO AND SPAIN and 3) Texas law, since way back when Texas was a country, requires that laws/government stuff be translated into Spanish. I wonder why that is, racists?

Be sure to let your sister know that her son is internalizing her hate. 

My white sister up in Maine, who is generally left-leaning, young-ish, with a half white/black son who has very dark skin, will complain about how the police treat my nephew in one breath, and in the next breath will rail against immigrants/Mexicans and how they need to get out of the country, how evil they are, and…

Didn’t Tim Allen go on about his show’s poor ratings or something being because he’s an outspoken conservative? 

At least Scott Baio and Victoria Jackson had the decency to keep quiet about their lack of acting jobs.

Right? Maybe it’s not being conservative but being an asshole that gets you blacklisted.

Nobody tell him about Tim Allen’s show. Or Patricia Heaton’s show. And Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis and Sly Stallone all have careers despite their politics. And wasn’t Clint Eastwood nominated for an Academy Award after yelling at a chair during the RNC?

I can’t imagine letting that happen to my students and not stopping it. I wouldn't just leave and cry. 

““Teachers left,” Brown said. “They were crying and they were offended.”

Yeah I don’t get that. As a literal adult in the room, be a fucking adult in the room and nip that shit in the bud. Send OCU dumbass packing right then. 

These types of macro-aggressions are not thoughtless. They are not innocent “mistakes” nor are they hapless blunders. They are calculated strategies designed to break the spirits of Black and other students of color. The purveyors of white fuckery fail to take into account that we come from people who have made ways…

Won’t link it here, but if people want to go find it, last night the Daily Show’s twitter posted a compilation video of Matthews being extremely creepy and gross to women on TV. So here’s hoping he’s on his way out!

I think Sanders’ true-believer zeal is actually a good matchup against Trump’s authenticity, as he can compete on the battlefield of convincing voters that he cares about what he claims to (something Clinton had trouble with because she was very transparent in just telling audiences what she thought she wanted to…
