You made me smile. Today, this day. I am deeply grateful. The nation may be burning around our ears, but you are still funny. 

The Stepford vibes are strong....

They’ve truly taken selective listening to a new level.

“But - but - why won’t you let me participate in your event raising awareness about problems I’ve spent my entire life enabling? Why are you being so intolerant?”

All of them lifelong members of the May I Speak to Your Manager Tabernacle Choir.

It’s like they rolled off Hell’s assembly line.

Great pic. All the blond look alikes in the front row, women who were all likely wife #1s to rich assholes.

She’s seen as Black first, a woman second. So in the end, it’s a victory. Only straight, white, English speaking Christian women have the luxury of being female first. The rest of us have qualifiers.

The thing about women having freedom of choice, is that if she wants then she can freely choose to take part in this competition as well as being an athlete. If women’s liberation means only being allowed to choose what you see as the morally superior option, then you’ve just replaced one tyranny with another.

Nobody said you were dumb except for you. The first part of my statement was simply in response to your qualifier that “this may be a victory for a Black person.” I think “victory” would be not needing to qualify it at all.

When we talk about liberation, I think we should be clear about what it means, which is not to make choices that are universally or racially acceptable, but to have the latitude and representation to make the choice at all. In an ideal world, she doesn’t owe you, me, or anyone else an explanation for why she wanted to…

If that’s her prerogative? Yes.

This kind of whining from the people being portrayed always amazes me – if those police were less concerned with the PORTRAYAL of their brutality and more concerned with committing LESS ACTUAL brutality – then they’d have far less “portrayals” to fret about and try to suppress.

The effects of climate change will not be the same across the globe. 

Just a note that the lead picture of a story about Central American refugees is actually Mexico, which is in North America.

Very small quibble--the photo appears to be of Mexico, which is in North America (not Central America).

The DNC is full of shit head morons who can’t even do their own group a service.

Yes, if it’s one thing that Pelosi is known for it’s about keeping her rivals in Congress with her, lol.

Sure, but to do that you need the surrounding context to understand whats actually being said.

Tell me what district wouldn’t want 80-90% of this. Why can’t Dems run on progressive shit? Because, Iowa? Because, coal mines? Dems should be yelling these all day, every day, and the ones that don’t or can’t can go lie down somewhere.
