Because what do you say to people who look at this article and think “well, so it goes”?

If Sandy Hook wouldn’t change their minds on guns, no amount of 10 year old rape victims will change their minds on abortion.   They simply don’t care.  People who aren’t “them” (or in their inner circle of rich old white cronies) don’t matter to them one iota.

I worded that badly, I was referring to Joffrey as more interesting than Criston. I found it interesting he was very happy to be a hidden lover and I was curious to see if he was really after power or just love.

Nah. What’s disgusting is what the British empire has done to billions of people in African and other indigenous nations DURING her rule. Not one apology during the entire time, or one ounce of remorse. So for literally everyone else, it’s fuck the queen. Don’t care if you don’t like it.

It’s news not because Teigen announced it (normal thing for a pregnancy), but because Jezebel covered it. So, the corrected comment should be a) fuck Jezebel for covering Teigen and b) fuck Jezebel for perpetuating the idea that being attractive should insulate you from etc etc.

This isn’t new. This is how the world has always been. Now we just have a chance to find out about it.

Oh my God...another? They already made Persuasion and made it perfectly in the 90s, with Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds. Stop remaking stuff that’s already perfectly good! 

I know the people featured in this story are mostly religious but I find American women in general, even the most progressive, stick to these traditions as well, for reasons I’ve never understood but that are probably tied into keeping up appearances, doing what’s expected, and also the consumerism and capitalism…

Looking into the past definitely brings a lot of things into perspective.

And yet they are against immigration, which also depletes the “labor force.”

Remember this: children do not ask to be born. Children do not choose their parents. Children do not consent to adoption, or foster care, or being raised fundie, or being stuck in abusive households, or poverty, or or or…

He also praised the Nazi leader’s ability to “arouse the crowds,” and “hypnotize” people by “screaming these epithets.”

It isn’t hypocrisy when it is fascism.

It’s because whoever wrote this post is lazy, and didn’t appear to do any research beyond the linked video.

Countries beside the US that enforce capital punishment: Sudan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iran, Egypt, Angola, and Afghanistan

Amy Coney Barrett being the whitest, malest, Christian of the bunch!

It is not about “purists”. It’s about the democrats basically providing nothing more than “we aren’t them”. HRC lost because her entire platform was “I’m not Trump so you have no choice but to vote for me, you worthless sacks of shit”. Dems need to stop trying to cater to non-existent middle-right centrists and get…

If only there were several points in the last 49 years where the Dems controlled the WH, Senate and House and could have codified Roe.

Yeah, the whole “identity politics” thing is infuriating. I’ve showed up for so many causes that I don’t personally benefit from, and then when it’s like “Hey, I’d like some absolutely minimal legal protection for my very existence.” the people I’ve showed up for are like “Ooooh, I don’t want to dilute my focus, ya…

Some smart people, like Josh Marshall over at TPM, are pointing out that the language that the GOP is using right now is the language of genocide.
