New slogan?

It was cool how you found a way to diminish the idiocy of ESPN’s decision while blaming those reporting the change for the reaction it caused. Very adept. This site’s ability to discern who gets the benefit of the doubt and who doesn’t is never surprising.

ESPN must be infuriated that Gerry Sandusky is allowed to call Ravens games.

yikes, tweeted on international women’s day too...

Especially since let’s face it, her stunt calling for jihad against Trump could only backfire. Like the rightwing outlets were going to politrly publish retractions and note how she used the word—fuck that! They have a prominent leftist Muslim activist calling for “jihad” against the Prez of the USA! Run that…

The tweet in question. Whatever you feel about Ayaan, her anger and her activism comes from a place of genuine suffering. And given the fact that she DID suffer from FGM, saying “she doesn’t deserve to be a woman” is gross and indefensible. Because it’s something that someone almost literally tried to inflict upon…

Slightly OT, but Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s labelling by the SPLC was heartbreaking for me. Anyone familiar with her story would see that her stances on Islam are informed primarily by her incredibly traumatic childhood and young adulthood. The Netherlands and US have failed her badly as refuges, and now she is being used like…

“letting them know the vote had put Alaska’s future with the administration in jeopardy,”

I never realized how American I am until I got into a debate about the face veil with some European friends. I feel very strongly that people should be free to express their religious beliefs however they choose, even if I fundamentally disagree with their views. My liberal European friends feel just as strongly…

I would be every bit as disappointed if O.J. had murdered some black people. The fact is, he got off. Period. Most black people even believe he was guilty. So fuck him now and forever.

I would be mad if it was anyone who got away with murder and people lauded over them.

Glad to know that women being murdered by their abusers is a-ok by you. You’ve shown your true colors and obviously, engaging with you will just result in more sanctimonious screeds about how it’s ok that OJ almost decapitated his ex wife because other people get acquitted of murders, that they too have committed, a…

Simpson, kills two people then robs some others. Gets away with murders has some comeuppance on the robbery but still alive and now free to do what he pleases, not have to pay the Goldmans because his NFL pension in the millions are untouchable...but Chester Bennington a good guy who helped others in regards to…

It’s totally possible to be horrified by the murders of black people by police officers and still be upset that a man who stalked and tortured his ex wife before murdering her, is free. You can be horrified by multiple things at the same time.

I thought the same thing. It was clear he wasn’t remorseful and he didn’t go to the AA meetings like he told the one parole board member he would. I thought it was not going his way.

It surprised me. I had money on them finding a way to deny him it, and the way he behaved during his hearing I thought that was going to be a sure thing.

I just read the linked article and it really sounds like they jumped the gun and are treating these people unfairly. I was floored to read that the state thought not reminding a child to wash his hands after using the bathroom and not reminding him to put sunscreen on more of his body was grounds to take him away.…

They reproduced. The whole point of Eugenics is to stop that process. I’m a Vermonter, I know these things.

This is so sad. There is a way to set up a system where someone comes to the house once in a while and checks to make sure that everything’s OK, or to help if they need support. How could you just take away someone’s kids? Very few people are better off in foster care. The foster care system, at least in NY, is broken…

Eugenics-lite. Oregon is such an interesting hodge podge of crazy.
