This. I’ve seen commentators and commenters say that this makes DACA a harder sell but they haven’t been able to articulate why 3 weeks of funding + chip + public promises for a discussion= handing it all over to the GOP.

And, if the GOP won’t play ball, the government will shut down again and give Dems more power. If the left assumes “3 weeks of funding, 6 years of CHIP funding and a public pronouncement that DACA will be discussed in the Senate” means the same thing as “fuck you, Dreamers” they seem to be missing a big part of the…

Not a big fan of monopoly, eh?

Bravo, sir or madam.

Thankfully, a Philly boy is both the perpetrator and the victim. We can’t have too much change too fast.

This seems like a total overreach by L’Oreal. She expressed mildly anti-Israeli views—i didn’t see anything anti-Semitic in the screen shots and she’s certainly not calling every Israeli complicit in murder.

Your boss is a Philadelphia institution.

You know they can shut the gov’t down in February if it turns out McConnell is full of shit, right?

I think i’m just going to keep on drinking shit coffee when I need the caffeine (always) and keep the good stuff for when I want something interesting and worth fussing over (much less frequently.)

Me too. I wish it wasn’t so threatening to rock the boat when confronted with a predatory. I don’t know exactly how we’d get there but it would be a better world.

I see what you’re saying. I guess I just don’t need a public announcement from them as long as they don’t work with him again. But, thanks, now I better understand what you mean.

Ah, solidarity. I hadn’t thought of it that way. Good point. Thanks.

I don’t know why I clicked. Everything the article had to offer was right there in the title. I knew it. I understood what I was getting. I knew I shouldn’t drive the metrics up and yet I clicked.

I worry about the consequences of attention seeking now that social media can give individuals a global audience. I don’t mean to sound like i’m clutching my pearls but I can’t see how training ourselves to perform everyday life for an audience will go well for humans.

No matter what she says, she’s the textbook example of a symbolic candidate.

I like Manning and even (mostly) agree with theories behind her platform—we need to move towards a model that focuses on rehab and restorative justice, we need healthcare for all, and, uh, we do need to fix our immigration system—but she sounds like a college freshman. She sounds like me, as a college freshman, to be…

it is a little weird—and congratulations never feels like the right word for it! 

that’s what i don’t get about this! i used to use, too, and i always knew i was doing something harmful...but i got high. this? i don’t understand needing this kind of attention.

On a systemic level, absolutely. On an individual level, a woman of color can harm a queen person of color, a poorer person of color. I think there a few ways to get to the point where someone is no longer perpetuating systemic harm but women of color are definitely the largest group I can think of. Maybe the trans…

I believe Dylan. I read the court doc from ‘93 and I understand why he wasn’t prosecuted but I still believe Dylan.
