Climate change and the ensuing refugee crises of the next decades are going to make 2018 seem like such an innocent time.

I am so goddamned tired of the whole crusade against college campuses that dumbfuck conservatives won’t shut up about anymore:
I thought it was pretty common knowledge that he has been a personality for NORML for quite some time:
You’d think the Hobby Lobby decision of 2014 would open up all manner of chaos when it comes to “sincerely held views”, but no. We’re still stuck being tyrannized by the self-appraised faithful.
It’s not murder, but it’s not an inert lump of cells nor is it a person. I think we need to admit that, yes, it is a form of life as we might define it scientifically, but its preservation is nowhere near as important as the freedom of agency and personal safety of the mother. Pro-life is anti-freedom, anti-choice,…
I am now trying to envision a graced street magician.
Apologizing won’t make the threats stop.
I- just- jio1;; SGHOULDN’T THESE FUCKS WANT LOWER INCOME PEOPLE AND IMMIGRANTS TO HAVE ABORTIONS AND CONTRACEPTION??

That is…

This attitude needs to be addressed. Nobody seriously wants your apologies or your guilt. Nobody wants to take from you your rights or your home or your possessions or your opportunities. They simply want to be afforded their own opportunities, and society is not a zero-sum game.
I do wonder how much shitty wages can factor into this, with regard to the middle of the country. It’s obviously a confluence of a few different factors overall, but with regard to customer service positions that are based on tips, your garden variety waiter/waitress in Kansas *has* to be super nice and obsequious to…
As I grew and learned, I couldn’t help but feel as though my education failed to inform me. It’s enraging. Not just what happened and what continues to happen, but the gaslighting, whitewashing and outright lying over the entire situation. We’re never going to get better until we confront the truth of where we’ve been…

May 2018:
This is the raw veganism equivalent of economic opinions.
Not that such people are swayed by things like facts or nuance, but it’s worth remembering that among the myriad social and structural problems bleary-eyed Conservatives seem to pave over when waxing nostalgic for the 1950s, the top marginal tax rate was 90%:
