The thing that destroys me the most about it, is that he actually loves and tries for this country. Every second that those people danced around the fact that they hated him because he was black, every question on the status of his birth, every time the right went behind his back to sabotage his policies or smacked…
Ugh, he’s the worst...
For all the hate, vitriol, subtle and overt racism that was aimed at this man over the last eight years, did he not handle it with uncommon grace and dignity? I never asked President Obama to be a perfect President, such a thing is an impossibility. But he played the long game, never panicked, never showed fluster,…
As great as "Senior Year" Obama is, I love "Dad" Obama the most
Okay, but the stark, piercing terror of realizing you’re stuck in a piece of clothing or you can’t get it on correctly is real. You haven’t felt shame until you have to plaintively caterwaul for help from the super cheerful fitting room attendant because you’re trapped in a dress. I’m sorry, Anthropologie sales girl.…

That was one of my favorite tidbits—we really need the exact Ginsburg quote here. Not today, Satan!
I want another woman justice
Crying and clapping!
Slate’s in depth coverage of this case and of Clarence Thomas’s first utterance in a decade has been fantastic, like C-SPAN with drama!

The man loves a dad joke.
I tried to bring up the same point on another article and was told, basically, that other minorities aren’t speaking up for themselves so why should anyone else speak for them? I wanted to respond with the fact that they are speaking out, but that their voices seem to get picked up by the media so rarely. Instead, I…
I’ve said this here before and was accused of whitesplaining diversity (which is particularly funny, because I’m not white), but I feel the same way. I was frustrated by the fact that the entire conversation around diversity in Hollywood is about Black artists when there were no Asian, Middle Eastern, or Latino people…
