If I hear asylum seekers referred to as illegal immigrants or attempting to enter illegally I’m going to scream. It is perfectly legal to present yourself at a boarder crossing and request asylum. People are being arrested and detained and their children taken away for a completely legal act. The media is failing to…

I just saw a news alert that said ivanka and Jared made 82 million dollars last year.

Yup. This whole attitude of “nah, can’t happen here” is no longer something to take for granted. The wheels are off the bus.

I’m just hoping we can make it through this summit without an actual nuclear detonation.

speaking of that particular period in german history...

“Some of them heard their children screaming for them in the next room,” congresswoman Pramila Jayapal told the Washington Post of immigrant women held in a federal prison facility who had been separated from their children. “Not a single one of them had been allowed to say goodbye or explain to them what was…

November can’t come fast enough. And November 2020 really can’t come fast enough.

Because of course you have to try to find *something* wrong with Fred Rogers. This site is fucking dogshit.

This. I’m old enough to remember that until 1969, the men arrested in police nuisance raids of gay bars would have their names published in the daily newspaper, often resulting in losing jobs. Rogers wasn’t rejecting him - he was looking out for him (and the show). Also worth noting that the marriage-for-appearances…

As a child of Black Muslim’s raised in the 70's, Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood was one of the ONLY shows I was able to watch. His kindness reached through the television screen and to this day I am still saddened by his death. My kids think he is boring as hell, but to me, he will always be a wonderful man.

Honestly if this is the worst we ever unearth about Mr Rogers I’ll take it

I have seen a couple of sites trying to make a fuss out of this and say that homophobia was some sort of skeleton in Fred Rogers’ closet. But that is really judging people of half a century ago by the morality of today. It is amazing that Clemmons wasn’t fired. Gay people (especially men) around children was regarded…

But still, it illustrates the finite nature of Mr. Rogers’s ideals. “I like you just the way you are,” he often said, but in the case of Clemmons there was a caveat: “...I just need you to show less of the way you are.” This information through the lens of contemporary culture, in which an employer legislating what…

On the show, he would say, “I love you just the way you are.” One day I said, “Fred, were you talking to me?” And he looked at me and he said, “Yes, I’ve been talking to you for two years and you finally heard me today.” And I just collapsed into his arms. I started crying. That’s when I knew I loved him.

THIS. I can’t with those people. It’s fucking tiring. Plus Star Trek is clearly superior in every way.

(Star Trek is better anyway)

I am a sci-fi fan, but I hate Star Wars, and their fans are big part of the reason. They act like anything that isn’t a white male or a man in a teddy bear costume is the most offensive existence possible. Star Wars fans are the worst.

Let’s be clear, these people have ceased to be Star Wars fans and have morphed into overgrown manbabies that feel threatened by a woman with any sort of power or leadership role. All the MRA nonsense aside, I still don’t understand all the hate for The Last Jedi when The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones clearly…
