Hey hey, now, I’m gonna have to step up and defend Dick Durbin, who I am very glad is my senator.

“Half of the people can be part right all of the time, some of the people can be all right part of the time, but all of the people can’t be all right all of the time - I think Abraham Lincoln said that.
It was easy for me: Cannabis oil pen. I love being stoned. I hate sleeping in anything other than a tank top and underpants.
To be fair, I stood with a group of three other friends and very loudly made fun of two couples hardcore making out/starting the foreplay at a show I went to this past weekend, but still I’d rather take that WITH the jeering over chlamydia any day.
What the fuck is The Wing and why on fucking earth would I favor that over getting a raise??? I live in Chicago.
Joe Jackson had blue eyes and the family is descended from slaves, so yeah there are some white leaves in the family tree. *eyeroll*
Rahm’s an asshole, but at least we have a working, if unbalanced, budget in the city. TWO YEARS. TWO YEAAAAARS. Illinois has not had a budget since Pat Quinn was governor.
In short: Nothing. Feminist owe her absolutely fucking nothing.
Al Franken 2020. Yup.
I am beyond excited for A Wrinkle In Time. It’s one of my favorite books ever. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme.
This is literal bullshit. I am not socially conservative because I expect my peers and eventual children to not be monsters. This is the actual opposite of what everything you’re talking about actually means.
Whereas the most liberal Democrats can be socially conservative.
I don’t think anyone should respect anyone if they’re not deserving of respect, and plenty of my “elders” are not deserving of respect. And respecting nature is a far cry from our “grandparents’ values” — they were/are part of a generation who has never seen a problem doing things like dumping coal waste into…
Some people’s grandparents values include lynching black people and sending LGBT youth to conversion camps. You want to insert that into our society at large?
No, feminism is about women’s equality to men socially, politically, economically, and humanly. If feminism succeeds and women become equal — or if we want to push for its success by acting in ways that treat women equally — then you would not be bringing this up as a subset of “feminism” and instead talk about…
....uh, my parents were the ones teaching me to “stay in school.” (Which was really “do well at school, trust us, you’ll love college”). My grandma taught me how to make blintzes and crochet. My grandpa taught me to cheat at poker.
I would actually argue that liberals are far more attuned to “family values” than conservatives, as they are the ones advocated for making families regardless of the gender or gender identity of the parents. Two dads, two moms, A mom and a dad that turned into two moms or two dads, parents that prefer first names so…
A “new kind of liberalism” that allows “screwing off at school” is not what makes us 30th in math testing. A conservative-fueled “choice”-based refusal to pay teachers living wages, fund public schools, and commit to evidence-based education regardless of religious or political beliefs is what has made us 30th in math…
I think, without having read the book, that this is an extension of working within patriarchal and oppressive sociocultural regimes instead of working to overthrow them.
Speaking to the Post, El-Messidi said “This is really a human issue. But out of this horrible election cycle, something beautiful has come out of it and [Muslims and Jews have] bonded together to support each other and stand up to this hate. Politics can get in the way of our basic humanity; I hope this breaks through…
