Yeah, at a certain point you need to just cut your losses, and if the US spirals down into Nazi Germany 2.0 as many are afraid it will then CA will have just done nothing but help work with and fund the next worldwide existential threat.

A cooler rebellion would be if the state to redirected all of its federal tax dollars to flint and PP.

I also think they’re trying to provoke a war here, so that they can profit from it while eradicting further the civil liberties in the USA. They’re just assholes -- and they’re the real terrorists — but they always have a plan to make things worse while they profit.

As an American, I am deeply ashamed of what is happening ostensibly in my name.

Just for old times’ sake:

I disagree. The years of inconveniences I have experienced flying in and out of JFK are absolutely meaningless next to what this order is doing to its victims and to the values of our nation. Any decent human would not cavil selfishly at trivial disruptions. Anyone who puts blame on the ACLU, of all…

I have to laugh to keep from crying.

Mandatory sentencing exists in the US for many crimes and is bad and should not be expanded.

Yaaaaassss Missy! She is the queen of making weird shit look cool as hell. Her music never sounds dated. Love her.

I have a friend whose father is black and her mother is latina and native. My friend was raised by her maternal grandparents on a reservation. If you merely saw her and were asked to identify her race, you’d most likely say, “That lady is African-American”, based on the color of her skin, the texture of her hair,…

But I don’t think they turn on him unless and until he costs them seats. That’s all that matters ever, the next election. Not the oaths they take, the next election. That’s why Obama didn’t get to appoint Merrick Garland.

The Republicans don’t care. None of them. About any of it. They care about keeping power and staying rich. That’s it. If it destroys the democratic process in the meantime, that’s just collateral damage.

Primeminister May is currently visiting.

I only half-skimmed this article out of fear of spoilers (it’s on my media blackout list because of this. I cannot express how excited I am for it), but I have to share this: A friend was watching the latest extended theatrical trailer with her lip curled and head shaking “no” for the first half of it because she…

Forgiveness is a gift and not everyone deserves that gift.

Back before the election the political podcasts would wonder out loud, “If Trump wins, what professional would be willing to work for him?” To which professionals then working in DC would reply, “We’ll continue to do our jobs, but if we’re asked to do something illegal/immoral/damaging to the USA, we’ll resign in…

The bright side is that these mass resignations severely hamper the ability of the federal government to perform competently which could damage Trump politically. His entire campaign and transition were logistical clusterfucks and so is his presidency. We are not even a week in and I am exhausted and terrified. We…

I’m probably the 65, 473 person to post this but...

If I did something that many people told me not to do, and then I regret doing it, I would not expect those people to forgive me.
