Last week, the New Yorker published a story on the complicity of the elite, hyper-wealthy set in New York City in creating the Donald Trump that we know and loathe today. These people legitimized him because it was funny to laugh at this bridge and tunnel buffoon at white tie dinner parties, and because a lot of their…

Where on earth do you think it happened last time?
It’s folly at any point in time to think you’re living in a truly enlightened age.
I visited the Anne Frank house right before the election and it was pretty sobering. At the end of the tour there’s a video interviewing people who survived the Holocaust and I remember one person saying how no one thought it would happen then and no one thinks it can happen again, but it can.
I read this as a kid, but I honestly don’t recall a lot of it. This year I am only reading books by women. I’m going to add this to my list. I think it’s an important revisit. Especially given this current political landscape.
If police officers were smart, and if they were willing and able to respect people’s civil rights, they’d always welcome cameras while doing their jobs. Any cop who tells people to stop recording them is a cop who considers it at least possible (if not probable) that s/he is going to do something of which s/he doesn’t…
The cops SHOULD start arresting people for making these calls. It’s racism, it’s harassment, and it wastes the time of the cops. (That’s our tax dollars being wasted.) I know there are laws against frivolous use of emergency services....why aren’t they enforced?
Omg, this, fucking this is what is needed from cops, people minding their own business and shutting the fuck up. I am glad they told that fucking lady what is what, people are tired of that shit and need to make them shut ins so they never come out of their caves again.
I feel for Toronto fans, I really do. I’m old enough to remember Jordan doing it to the Cavs.
Shamelessly posting this again because it still applies.
I was checking the Raptors reddit, and people were actually suggesting that Toronto was going to win this game, because there was now “no pressure”. LOL.
“Let’s get this straight first off: the Raptors were dead the moment LeBron James was...”
Anita Hill was over 25 years ago, and this shit still happens largely because men keep getting away with it. They don’t care about their actions because they don’t have to.
Yeah, I’m devastated. I had been rooting for him for years and really admired him. But Ronan Farrow’s article is fucking awful; alcoholism, physical abuse, racial abuse, emotional abuse....
I am going to rage stroke when the White House expresses their mock horror about this while barely being able to contain their glee.
“I have never engaged in nonconsensual sex, which is a line I would not cross.”
Please stop with this. The only thing anyone who knows hockey thought was that the Golden Knights would be “competitive” with was Arizona and the worst record in hockey this year and whether or not they would finish with less points than Colorado had last year. This whole made up “the league rigged the expansion…
While some camps made a weak effort to conceal their murderous operations, Sobibor was clearly a death camp: prisoners were often taken straight from the trains to the gas chambers. After an uprising in October 1943, Nazis destroyed the camp and attempted to eradicate all evidence of the killings. But researchers have…
