To fair, tauting someone for being foolish enough to trust you is the kind of thing I expect from third graders and movie villians who are either at the 1/3rd mark of the film or about to die.

Technically I think they go up to 5.15d these days. There's actually something like 300 5.15s out there. 

I think he somewhat shifted his focus to a class based analysis. With the perspective that a lot of the problems in the country are because we’ve cut POC out of the programs that build wealth and power, a lot of his programs indirectly disproportionately benefit POC. The problem is that if you say that’s what’s going…

I just think it’s used to underscore just how long he’s been on the right side of the issue. It’s one thing to be pro-equal rights now, but he did it at a time when it was a dangerous position to take. He’s not John Lewis, but he’s been in the fight a long time. 

See, I actually think identity politics is the driving force in America. White identity has been used for centuries to convince people to vote for candidates and policies that are objectively terrible, because “those people” are getting things too. They change the labels, but there’s a reason one party dominates the…

But doesn’t that imply he stopped doing that kind of thing? People just bring those examples up to show how long he’s been fighting that fight, not to claim it’s some get out of jail free card.

I’m not trying to get into some form of oppression olympics. Clearly it’s generally easier in America to be a straight white Jewish cis-man than it is for essentially anyone if you change any of those adjectives (except Jewish) to almost anything else. The intersection of most groups he’s part of tends to be in a…

There’s just this rush to pretend that everyone was always on board with whatever group suddenly becomes acceptable. Meanwhile anti-semitism is on the rise, but it’s not really a big deal because most Jews are “white-passing”. 

She literally organized for his campaign before she went into politics for herself. What about that makes her endorsement of the guy who got her into politics a cynical ploy? 

The reason it bothers me is because our distinct identity only seems to matter as a negative or when it can be used as a weapon against someone else. We’re only white when it’s convenient. With all the abuse he takes for traits that are stereotypically Jewish (like the shouting), I can only compare it to how people…

now-deleted tweet from Jane Eisner, the director of academic affairs at the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University, who offered the following in response to Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar’s endorsements of Sanders: “I find it fascinating that women of color overlook female and minority candidates to…

I'm not sure they didn't. 

Corporate overlords killed it. 

The Chargers play in Nashville now? 

Ok, but that IS the funniest hold I've seen in a while. 

Illinois just had a Republican governor who blocked any attempts to create a budget so he could create a crisis.

There was no post. They're under orders not to talk about it. The only thing I've seen directly on it from a GO property was Drew briefly at the end of the podcast. 

Sky judge who can overturn anything he wants, can use any angle he wants, but can't stop the clock for that review. 

Dunno, Jezebel was created to be a space for women, and I’m not sure what impact the splinter commentariot shifting over would have. The Slot does have great writing though.

Most of the people who “shat their pants about Hillary Clinton having a flu” have moved on to just having right wing audiences that tune in to hear them rage at Dems in general and talk about how Bernie is a traitor.
