HOW DARE PUTIN CLAIM HIS HOOKERS ARE BETTER THAN AMERICA’S. THIS IS A DECLARATION OF WHORE.

That’s because MLK’s letter has often been abridged, which had the effect of turning it into a pure defense of non-violence. What the abridgement does is that if completely deletes the final part of the letter, which is a stern warning to White that non-violence is not an end into itself, it is but one step in the…

I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is…

I’d be willing to bet that they weren’t sheepish or bothered in any way because, ultimately, they won and they don’t care how or the consequences or whether the world burns for it. If what republicans wanted from this election was to turn democrats - even the ones who used to give them a sliver of the benefit of the…

Sheepish? Doubtful.

Here’s what I think: I think we’re getting caught up in grandiose actions that need to be highly visible to matter. That’s not true.

I’m a high school teacher at a conservative boarding school in Virginia. Here is the letter I wrote to my (mostly Trump-supporting) students.

My dad moved here in the 70s, leaving behind a corrupt South American government in an intense drug war. When he left this comment on my voting picture (holding my two year old son), I had to go to the bathroom and compose myself. We are lucky to have this tool called voting. “I came here at seventeen with a dream…

I am 64- This is my current Facebook status: I was the third person in my district to vote this morning. My hand shook and my heart pounded when I filled in the oval for the Clinton Kaine electors. My vote is for me, and it’s for my country. But even more than that, my vote is for my four granddaughters, and for my…

My grandmother is an 89-year-old, black woman. She doesn’t leave the house much anymore because she’s sick a lot but she got up to vote for Obama and she’s up today to vote for Hillary. It’s a blessing to be able to watch her experience such progress.

To steal their youthful essence and halt their own decay.

And sticky. Don’t forget sticky.

My wife and I recently lost our twin boys, Anton and Colin, at 20 weeks gestation. They were handsome, they were healthy, but my wife had an unforeseen and undiagnosed incompetent cervix despite being on bedrest for most of the 20 weeks, and we were advised that we need to deliver or we would lose three lives instead…

When I dropped my kid off at school today, all the kids on the playground were standing around a toad. Marveling at it, breathlessly amazed, all of them, like as if the toad were breathing fire. When my daughter saw this (very average sized, not at all extraordinary) toad, she shouted “WOOooooowwww!” like she had…

Balloons 2016!

Can we stop disparaging coke users by linking them to Donald Trump?

“It’s just like The Breakfast Club, except everyone is 70, evil, and maybe sundowning.”
