I recently saw news about thousands of children separated and detained from their parents.

I think Section 31's also a highlight of the difference between post-WWII optimism (Roddenberry) and post-Vietnam cynicism (the younger writers who have since taken over the show). It’s not just that S31 is a bit of a lazy kludge (though it is), but also that it was wholly unnecessary in the kind of universe…

This is actually an important part of the conversation that the article is glossing over.

I think of HRC and Pelosi as being pretty different, politically. Clinton has a lot of drawbacks (ex. hawkish) but Pelosi out here talking about compromise and shit completely misses the current political context and it’s dangerous to the Democratic party. We do not DO NOT need to continue elevating bipartisanship and…

I’ve been tooting this horn for a while.  The Dems don’t have a bench.  I think in 2-3 cycles, they could have something; but for now they are in rebuild mode when they need to be playing for keeps.

“If Hillary had won, I could go home,” Pelosi said in a recent TV interview with CBS.

Anyone who thinks racists are dying out has had their eyes stapled shut.

Exhibit A:

And despite their new morals being completely tainted and terrible, they’ll continue to go to church and post Jesus memes/inspirational pictures to their social media to pretend that they still have half a shit about that stuff and the teachings.

trump is the literal anti-christ

it reminds me of the old stupid Cheech & Chong joke “I was all messed up on drugs, now I’m all messed up on the Lord.” Now the evangelicals are all messed up on Trump, but the speed with which Trump usurped their religious morals is still surreal to me. Watching “Christians” rush to aggressively defend the least godly…

Well written.
TLDR: Trump is a poor person’s idea of what a rich person is, dumb person’s idea of what smart person is, a weak person’s idea of what strong person is.

I’d be fine if they were expelled. These things have to have very harsh consequences. And kids are expelled all the time for far less than what this symbolizes. This is a lesson they need to learn too - that civil society requires people be aware of the consequences of actions.   Without that awareness, then people…

This is so important - when people say things about the racists all dying out I’m like, no, the racists are being radicalized and indoctrinated early. We cannot rely on them dying out.

This is an intentional strategy by the filth of the alt-right. They directly try and appeal to stupid teenagers with edgelord tendencies, hoping that some of them will fully enter the ideological cesspit. Even if they only get 10% to stay in their ideology and the rest grow up and look back at this with horror, that…

Unless White plays both ways, I don’t see how his presence changes the outcome of this game a whole lot.

Listen, if you don’t like Hillary Clinton you are a sexist republican bernie supporter, obvioulsy. And you didn’t vote, too. Obviously. Hillary 2024

The Root has called out Sanders on his BS plenty of times (can’t recall if this specific author has though). This ain’t Splinter.

Not this shit again. Sit the fuck down and let Kamala step up to the mic. Or anybody else.

I support those who risk their lives to serve and protect us and I support holding people who misuse their power accountable.
