i usually just skim the comment section, but that was really good, matthew.

It was Trayvon Martin who really forced me to confront race in America. I remember seeing how his character was assassinated by Fox News and other right wing outlets and thinking, “he was seventeen. He’s a menace to society because he smoked pot and got into a fight? In that case I was Al fucking Capone.”

Former model here. Maida and Ramy are sick fucks. Their thing is to call hundreds of girls they have no intention of ever booking to a casting all at the same time and have them wait from 4-8 hours to be seen. They take their books when they arrive (agency portfolios - cost a bunch of money and are hard to replace) so…

There’s also Rand fucking Paul “I don’t see any need to investigate other Republicans”

I’m pretty sure that was Donald Trump. Like I’m not joking. I think he made a remark in that unhinged press conference a couple weeks ago about Congress only being there to represent the Republican voters.

They know it too, that’s why they are doubling down on delegitimizing all forms of political opposition and criticism. Protest laws, voter restrictions and segregation, delegitimization of the press and now we see they have moved towards delegitimizing their constituents.

So true!

...the medication she takes to control her migraines would cause birth defects if she were to get pregnant, so “access to birth control, and if needed, abortion, is actually very very important and relevant to me,” she said.

Republicans are acting like politics is some hip new burrito shop that they want to keep secret from everyone else. Then everyone found out about these dope ass burritos, even helping each other locate the burritos. Now they will try anything to keep their beloved secret shop from being flooded with hungry patrons.…

Let’s make the GOP regret nominating and electing Donald for a long time to come. The political system is far to the right of what most Americans want; it’s time for a course correction.

It’s almost as if these elected officials don’t realize that there are both republicans and democrats in every district, and it’s their job to represent everyone. Sad!

My initial response (to the headline) was to respond with some faux surprised snark. But the details are unbearable, devastating. May those children receive so much counseling and love, and not repeat the cycle of abuse. This is simply beyond words. The death penalty is too kind for this couple.

My 82 year old Mexican American mother saw this on Friday. She loved it and cannot stop talking about it! She called me as soon as she got home telling me to get up and make a midnight show. Saturday morning, “When are you going to go?!” Sunday same thing. She wants to talk about it something fierce.

I grew up in NYC, didn’t miss the horror even though it is not my own life experience. I’m not trying to say “#notallwhitepeople”. Rather, it was my experience that everyone going to this movie understood EXACTLY what it was about. If they did not, that’s just weird.

Jesus Christ, what THE FUCK is up with all the Viola haters who’ve come out of the woodwork? God forbid an older Black woman who’s been working her ass off for decades be rewarded. Seriously, GTFO and let her have her moment.

Why is the movie even up for any awards? It’s a musical that stars two people that can’t sing, or dance.

I would listen to any audiobook she narrated right now.

It’s true. She’s entitled to be proud of and honest about her achievements.
