They hate women (all of them, including the women).

A classic example of how speaking about an entire group of people, even in a supposedly positive way, as if they are all the same is demeaning and reductive.

I feel like the people in the comments are all of the opinion that there are no benefits to gentrification, but there are. It’s not all black and white.

Why do they hate America?

thread!

That’s how it goes. I’m not rich and I know I could be forced out of my neighborhood and, frankly, that would be unfortunate but the change would do my neighborhood some good.

When life gives you lemons you petition ISPs to block Stormfront.

“Trump added that Moore was better than Democrat Doug Jones who is “bad on crime, bad on borders”

The story of humanity is one of movement and change.

Just looking at that photo up the top reminds me of before my son was toilet trained, he’d go hide behind the curtains and pull that face when he was filling his nappy. It was pretty cute when he did it though. 45 not so much.

• Ajit Pai, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), announced that the FCC will vote on a proposal to overturn what he described as the “heavy-handed, utility-style” net neutrality rules of the Obama administration. According to the Washington Post, Pai’s proposal would “give Internet providers broad…

“Women are very special. I think it’s a very special time because a lot of things are coming out, and I think that’s good for our society, and I think it’s very, very good for women. And I’m very happy a lot of these things are coming out, and I’m very happy it’s being exposed.”

In fairness to Trump, he (and definitely Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, III) probably considers the prosecution of Klansmen who killed small black girls to be too heavy-handed and a miscarriage of justice, because, you know, there were bad people on both sides.

I think we all can agree that the acronyms of these non-profit and grassroots organizations have gotten completely out of control.

I’m not sure how much more of this I can take. For sure, not three more years.

That wasn’t the case in Boyle Heights. It was not vacant warehouses like downtown LA. It has always been a vibrant ethnic neighborhood all the way back since when it was a Jewish hood.

I’m of two minds. A) people should never be priced out of their own neighborhoods, and so many of these “revitalized” communities do so through the same twee combination of art gallery, local bakery, coffee shop, and overpriced artisianal soap maker.

This is not really that different than Trumpism, just ginned up with supposed pro-minority outrage instead of anti-minority. Having “all the (prosperous) white people go away” wasn’t a positive thing for cities in the 50s-60s, and it’s not a panacea now either. If you’re activists for the working class, why not try to…

Are there fields where people actually get jobs just sending in random resumes? Everywhere I’ve worked, we tended to hire people who knew someone already employed there, or former temps / former interns.

Cover letters are such a debatable topic. I have known people who don’t care about cover letters, I’ve met people who will skip cover letters when they are included, I’ve met people who skip resumes that don’t include cover letters.
