I live in a liberal city and work in higher ed, so I thankfully don’t run into it much at home (though I do when I visit my parents/family). It is fun, though, to completely shut down my racist neighbor when she tries to talk over the fence at me about our other neighbors because she thinks I’ll commiserate. She…

I’m in the same situation as you.  My family, that I love, that are good people, are insanely & adamantly for Trump.  And my father has 2 doctorates, but he’s retired military and Christian and because of those 2 things he will never vote democrat.  And I can’t help but think that if anyone else was saying these…

In related news, “Send her back” is the new “lock her up”.

I’m checking out on TV once we get past the primaries.

The supporters he has left are immune to facts for one simple reason; they’re getting exactly what they want.

I’ve had to quit speaking to people as well. It sucks that people I once loved and respected turned out to be racist, misogynist, proto-fascists, but that’s what his remaining supporters are. Full stop.

That is extremely fucking depressing but also not at all surprising. God, I hope we get a viable candidate this time around.

I love them both but agree that more Thandie would be a good thing.

The fact that they are TERRIFIED that they no longer matter is the entire point of Donald-fucking-Trump. So yes, we need to stop arguing and cajoling and attempting to reason with these people and find ways to win in spite of them.

Love how the sign in the header photo has stars in place of the letters W-H-I-T-E. They should have just spelled it out, they’re not fooling anyone. Except Diamond and Silk.

Eh, I’m nor sure that these white women matter as much as they/we think they do. As Michael Harriot wrote earlier this month,

This will never stop being infuriating to me, and because now they feel “attacked” (largest eye-roll in history) I won’t be surprised if that fucked up 53% figure will end up being even higher next year. We have to do better, but I haven’t found a solid way to reach any of these women, even in my own family. The two…

Kim is not aware of anything, so

I could definitely see Miles Teller playing Elvis.

White men always fear being treated the way they treat everyone else.  

If there’s anything I’ve learned from wealthy, powerful white men, there’s one thing they cannot stand: public shame.

Also, POTUS

Let’s just name Rapinoe, the next head of USA Soccer and future FIFA President.

Let’s face it: he was always going to eat alone anyway.

Looks like Donny’s gonna have to call KFC, McDonald’s, Burger King, and Pizza Hut and order the fancy spread! He might have to eat it alone, but it’s the thought that counts.
