Tamir Rice was shot and murdered at 12. So they’re old enough to die but too young to cause her some minor discomfort. I’m so happy your son has received support. It’s vital he knows we’re out here even if we aren’t in the same city and we will fight to make sure nobody takes his rights away.

If I see one more article using the words “romantic” or “spurned” and implicitly laying this girl’s death and others at her feet for making the shooter do this, I will set something on fire. Conservatives are all over this, with their “if she had just been nice to him!” schtick that does nothing but harm women and…

She is not white, but one doesn’t have to be to uphold white supremacy.

When I was in junior high/high school, a teacher pulled me aside to discuss why I didn’t stand during the pledge. He mentioned something about soldiers or some shit; I told him that my father is a Vietnam vet who was drafted along with half of his Black neighborhood, including mentally disabled people, and he had no…

Other than a teeny tiny sliver of “legacy” Republicans who vote Republican simply because it is their family tradition but personally are closer ideologically to Democrats (think: Lincoln Chafee before he switched outright to the Dems), I really can’t identify any part of the Republican voting bloc that would actually…

If anyone at Fox is reading, I would pay to see Tucker Carlson and Glenn Beck fight to the death.

(Some) people on the left of the political spectrum have this desperate need to believe there’s this battalion of “good” Republicans out there opposed to Trump, and will act as our “Allies” in the fight against the Cheeto. Like, they crave the validation of being able to say “See, even other Republicans think Trump is…

Whoa whoa whoa, don’t you know that every citizen of the US is also a member of a well regulated militia? All ammosexuals are basically supersoldiers, you just can’t tell by looking at them but if they were ever in a firefight, hoo boy, they will turn into Neo and take down the shooter with ease. At least that’s what…

“Maybe we need to look into limiting the entrances and exits into our schools, so that we can have law enforcement looking at the people who come in one or two entrances,”

It is different, making a political statement about the NRA’s poster child of states on gun laws is a valid point since all that GUN FREEDUMBZ doesn’t protect you one bit. Because next week all we’re going to hear from the NRA is how Texas somehow needs more guns, more people need to be armed and carrying guns at all…

Honestly? I’d say that Texas’s general attitude toward guns is relevant here — and I say that as a fourth-generation Texan with tons of family in rural north Texas (though now I live in Atlanta.)

People think that Ireland is just awash in whiskey and Guinness all day, stereotype = Jokes about Irish people being drunks

Uh, yeah, it is different because the original poster’s statement was that it’s not much a stretch to think that a state that is thought of as having one of the most heavily armed civilian populaces (whether that perception is factual or not is irrelevant to the point) in the world may want to arm their teachers. The…
