Anna and Gabby, you’re both surrounded by deeply religious people. With no disrespect bro their faith, can you please ask them this burning question by hat plagues my faith:

For once, Hillary is America.

She’s also been painted head to toe in a darker color.

The looks thing is an issue because Zoe Saldana looks NOTHING like Nina Simone, and SO MUCH of Nina Simone’s work was specifically about her experience as a dark-skinned and not conventionally beautiful black woman. So in this Hollywood version, hiring a Hollywood-beautiful, lighter skinned black actress is a problem,…

Read the entire Slate piece, it is fantastically done. These women are total badasses and had absolutely zero patience for Keller. I will add that Breyer’s moment in the sun was pretty spectacular as well. (emphasis mine)

However, this grassroots movement on behalf of ‘We the People’ will continue.

Why do you assume only white people are commenting on this post against Hillary? So baffling.

When an affectionate term like dear is used by a stranger/person in a position of power it always comes off as super condescending to me.

Has there been any insight into why she does so well with African American voters given her spotty history regarding their interests? It seems so bizarre to the point of being baffling.

I love that the comics address the “black Spider-Man” thing. Diversity is necessary, but means a lot less if it’s just “they’re the ____ version of that white guy.” I know Miles is so much more than that in the comic, but I'm glad they're addressing the face of the issue.

I said that payday loans transform racism—cultural and generation racism—into institutionalized racism. Their basic function is to make money, by keeping poor people poor. Groups who have more poor people than others, including black communities and Hispanic communities, are affected more by the predatory loan…

I also wanna say, it’s fairly brave of Anna to mention this.

Sigh. Except this is exactly the kind of shitstorm — had it happened weeks ago — that Bernie would have been able to run with and maybe get some traction in the South. Now it’s too late and he’s going to get clobbered today, and we’ll be stuck with Hillary and this godawful shill of a woman who also coincidentally is…

Every day that passes with a Democratic Party led by someone eager to side with vampire scum like the payday lenders is another day the Democratic Party reveals itself to be largely full of shit. In an election year where Democrats are warning voters that handing Republicans even more power will be bad for ordinary…

No wonder she hates Bernie so much that she is willing to destroy democracy in the Democratic party at every turn:

Considering Wasserman has tried every dirty trick this primary season short of hiring newsboys to draw Hitler mustaches on every front page picture of Bernie, I am not surprised she’ll back anyone who gives her money that’s green.

I teach a class on the history of the Civil War, where I devote a lot of time and primary sources to proving that slavery was the cause of the Civil War. We talk a lot about why 95+% of historians would say slavery was the cause of the Civil War, while only 40% of surveyed Americans say the same. Every semester I toy…

Yeah. He still tours and still his version of that classic, aristocrats joke is considered the best and filthiest.

Bob Sagat was and still is a very respected comedian.

You’re forgetting the REAL reason to get Blue:
