Justine was a dear friend who was horrified about police violence and committed to making the world better in every way. She had just picked out her wedding dress last week and was so excited to show me. She was texting me trying to get me to go to “dance church” with her on sunday morning, but instead I went to a…

How come women can’t go sleeveless when Paul Ryan is allowed to go spineless?

You’re absolutely right! The primary concern of theatrical audiences isn’t entertainment, it’s historical accuracy. That’s why “Hamilton” was such a flop—everyone walked in, took one look at all those black people, and turned right around again. Certainly Broadway is wise to avoid that kind of box office disaster!

I agree with Dan Savage on this one. You want to be a hateful asshole? Fine, but post who you will and will not serve on your front window or website. Don’t embarrass couples in the privacy of your store - let them know ahead of time that you won’t take their money, and the rest of us can boycott your hateful ass if…

The whole structure of our voting system and government fundamentally favors a 2-party system, though. Comparisons to other countries with multiple political parties usually don’t take into account their different voting methods (proportional representation, non-single member districts, etc).

My point is that the GOP would have had a much weaker hand if they had lost the national election (especially after willingly shacking up with such a shameless bigot and demagogue). They made a bet last year that they could actually ratchet up their obstruction and that the country may reward them for it. Had that…

Nope, even if you say Hillary was easily the “lesser evil” that puts her and Trump on the same plane of comparison, when they weren’t even on the same planet. Hillary was an establishment Democrat who probably would have been a continuation of the Obama years with an edge pointing toward some liberal progress as far…

How about protections for workers and a focus on working-class peoples? WPA-style work programs and a focus on ensuring full employment because that’s the country we claim to be.

THERE WAS ONLY EVER ONE EVIL!!!!

She’s a huge, longtime champion of liberal causes and does a metric shitton of charity and support work for our military people overseas and for LGBTQ issues. She’s one of the most politically engaged and outspoken people in the industry and has been devoted to equal rights and supporting the troops in tangible ways…

100% agree. Was it an amazing piece of comedy? Probably not. Is it worthy of all this pearl-clutching and outrage, including from people on the left? HELL FUCKING NO. Also, internet, please stop comparing this to tea party racists burning Obama in effigy and fake lynching him, this is not even remotely comparable.…

You are doing the next level “there are starving children in Africa” dick move right now. You aren’t more interesting or a better person because you can derail a conversation and show concern about a more serious topic. It just means you can’t read the room.

Why were you playing along with that? It wasn’t funny.’ And I said, ‘Mary, I’m sorry and there is no good answer for that.’”

We can’t discount the fact that so many who are the most dedicated to making this an anti-choice world, are *women*. And they are vicious, hateful people... they literally shoved junk into our private doctor/patient relationship, and have forced doctors to lie outright about connections to birth control/abortion, &…

I remember, although I had forgotten about that stupid bandana thing. I was never interested in Chachi. I was always all about Shaun Cassidy.

She won more votes than many recent presidents. She only lost because of poorly distributed ballots based on an archaic system that favours rural voters over urban (i.e. the majority). And I’m not even mentioning the possibility of Russian interference and/or rigging on behalf of Trump.

Apparently throwing reproductive rights under the bus is a-ok for Bernie when it suits his agenda. But Jon Ossoff, a young, bright Dem in a ruby red district that, if he were to win, could potentially have seismic ramifications is a bridge too far for Bernie to get behind. All because Ossoff is running in an affluent…

And a major fuck yous to Bernie Bros.

“on one issue”

LBJ and FDR are fascinating to contemplate. LBJ was, by all accounts, an absolute asshole. He was mean, he was rude, he was a real fucking prick. He got bogged down in the quagmire of Vietnam, but look at what he tried to accomplish with the Great Society and what he DID accomplish with the Civil Rights Act. FDR was,…
