FINALLY a trans woman who is out as trans GOING INTO the competition. Rooting for you Peppermint girl.

Yes, but Reddit is a privately owned operation so they can do whatever the fuck they want, thank god. They are under no obligation to give those shit-munchers a platform.

Agreed! This is Maxwell Smart, ALSO a shelter pup whom I adopted at 10 months old. (Him, not me.) He passed away 5 months ago at an impressive 13.5 years of age for a half Lab/half Akita mix. (OMG, he’d hate that I’m sharing the pic with the tongue. Max was badass and alpha and independant, and hearing people look at…

Good for you! Sincerely.

Wrong. It got six years worth of online donations in 72 hours.

Why? I’m really curious. I watched it yesterday and didn’t understand. To be honest, I also didn’t understand why Crash won anything, let alone was made.

If the guy who punched him gets arrested I will gladly donate to a fund to pay his bail. That guy is the hero we need right now.

Sure it did. It showed Richard Spencer and the rest of his nazi buddies that they’re bullshit won’t be accepted without a fight. Remember “make racists afraid again?” What exactly do we want them to be afraid of? Petitions?
