Even before Castro’s death- the day after the election trump was linked with swastikas graffitied over the country. We can talk about economic insecurity all we want, but the rhetoric used in trumps campaign (like the Star of David combined with money on a poster calling Hillary corrupt) wouldn’t make the swastikas

Well yeah, he’s a middle eastern Jewish man who feeds the poor and doesn’t slut shame.

The nepotism rule doesn’t actually extend to the First Lady position. In the past, single presidents or invalid First Ladies have had the First Lady duties carried out by other female relatives. It would be perfectly fine for ivanka to act as First Lady in Melania’s place IF and ONLY IF she gives up her stake in his

I think it’s because of Dolly’s self awareness- she can tell a joke and take a joke, she doesn’t take herself or her image too seriously. She owns who she is, exemplified by her famous “it takes a lot of money to look this cheap” quote. You can’t really critique that. Madonna’s has no self awareness and clearly takes

Dolly Parton puts out a Christmas special each year on NBC that is entirely on brand and I love her for it. No one will ever speak ill or talk down about Dolly around me. She’s talented, self aware and a true treasure.

Prince stopped wearing the Ashlee’s chaps years ago. He stayed sexual, but evolved. If Prince was madonna, he’d have been wearing assless chaps and simulating giving Justin Bieber a blow job a month before he died.

But it sucks that his son had to watch him go like that. It’s terrifying to imagine having a good time paling around with your dad one moment and then he just goes.

I don’t care about your grandpa individuality. Forrest and trees. I’m pointing out a sentiment I’ve seen a lot of recently, which is Americans going “we fought Nazis, and now we’re the bad guys” which writes off our own terrible history of BEING the bad guys, even while we were fighting the Nazis. That accurate

I’ve read stories like this a lot recently, and I think a lot of it is American exceptionalism at work, honestly. Yes, a lot of American men fought nazis in WWII, but a lot of the things the Nazi’s were guilty of we also did, and no one cared to fight that just as vehemently as long as it was American. Eugenics was

We were kinda trash from day one, the whole “all men are created equal” thing but killing native Americans and keeping slavery legal was a major scab on our record.

I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t understand that swamps are thriving ecosystems that don’t need to be drained.

If only trump supporters feel comfortable having kids, we’ll be fucked in 18-22 years. Although who knows if we’ll have access to birth control anyway.

The people drawing swastikas and giving the Nazi salute in trumps name would’ve totally voted from a Jewish man from New York.

Dolly Parton is so much more talented and self aware than madonna that it’s not even funny. And that’s the thing- people don’t like madonna because she’s not self aware and not a vocalist. Do not compare the two.

Let’s say I agree everything you said is right. If a woman is being forced to wear a burqa, then banning a burqa won’t mean the men in her life have changed their mind. It would mean she’d be drawn further into repression, and might not be able to leave her home. Banning it would make her world smaller, and keep her

Also the idea that every bullied child is a future school shooter is a myth. The Columbine shooters were portrayed as outsider bullied losers and that’s not true, but somehow that’s the idea that’s proliferated and become our idea of what a school shooter is. A lot of these guys have friends and a social network.

“Well they are scary. You were clearly in fear. Self defense, go home you’re free, don’t forget your gun and badge on the way out”

Basically if black people were as dangerous, violent, and scary as white people THINK we are, they’d actually have a problem. The fact that the white supremacy status quo has lasted this long is the best case for how peaceful we are. We’re not the ones who would lynch people for a picnic and then put it on postcards.

Their cheeks are red from effort and strain.

Also, I saw that Instagram ad a few days after the election, and in light of the fact that black women caped for Hillary and white women just fucked us over, I was not the one to be receptive to that BS speech.
