I didn’t read all of the comments, but here’s an idea. For all the bleeding hearts white people who are so into our plights and causes, why not write books, draw and paint pictures and sculpt figures of the atrocities you bestow(ed) on all those you have harmed. Paint and present dragging us behind your trucks, draw

I’m beyond schadenfreude with this girl. Let’s be reminded of this exchange with Noah Trevor from her Daily Show interview. If you go back to the video, this exchange starts around the 15:40 mark. (Emphasis below is mine.) Anyone who says something like this deserves all the backlash and then some more.

AKA:

I don’t think you understand. The crowds are not the major problem. President Obama cane last year for a meeting and the entire interstate and many other streets were closed due to security. They do not release what streets are closed until they are due to security. I do appreciate your snark (I love snark!), however,

This is way, way more sinister than that. Rallies provide Trump the opportunity to speak directly to supporters without the press acting as an intermediary (and the fact-checking that comes along with it). It’s part of the autocrat’s playbook.

This is where phone calls come in handy. If any of these “nevermind the treason, what about the leaks?” are your rep, giving ‘em a ring on the phone. Or two. Or 20.

I watched it too way back when. But this seems different. This seems like at more than half of our government is eager to protect Trump so they can maintain the control they have schemed for so long to achieve.

1. My close family member is epileptic and I certainly wouldn’t downplay how terrifying seizures are. I know that very well. Nor is this the first time this has happened, although it is the first time I can think of that someone has said one Twitter-sized strobing image caused a seizure. (The other incident I’m

White entitilement is the most powerful drug on Earth. Consequences (or lack thereof, most of the time) be damned.

When women across this country try to get help after avalanches of death and rape threats online, sometimes even on video, nobody understands the internet, nobody can use a computer. But a Black man uses a gun emoji and a copy emoji next to each other on FB and suddenly they are computer whizzes enforcing the law to

This headline is so misleading and it’s so, so shameful of you to frame the situation like this. The GIF caused him a seizure. He’s epileptic. Yes, that is assault when you do something with the intent of hurting someone else, whether it’s just a GIF. That troll put him in danger knowingly. Epileptic seizures are

Oh yes, clearly a love letter, but I think the core of it was telling her husband he’s allowed to love again... with the bonus of making the entire world now wanting to have a go.

I read that essay before I read the byline, then saw who it was written by and found myself struck dumb — by a fluke that has nothing to do with anything but luck, I had dinner with Amy Krouse Rosenthal and her husband in their home. He was indeed terribly handsome and they did indeed seem to be utterly delighted by

Thank you. I......I want to believe in your well wishes and I’m not trying to be all negative.

Good luck. My ex ended our marriage, in an incredibly shitty and passive-aggressive way, but I have to say 3+ years on, I am much happier on my own. Maybe you’ll meet someone new, maybe you won’t. Maybe like me, you’ll make new friends, buy your own house, have a great job you really enjoy, travel, and drink a lot of

Interestingly enough, I write in my spare time (usually fiction that draws from real-life experiences), but this is the first time I’ve written about this particular span of time since it happened.

There are certain things I keep to myself, but with a story such as Browder’s, trying to add further context for people

I can say from a rather short experience that solitary confinement is torture in every way but name.

I was picked up on an outstanding warrant, having just left a rehab facility for a variety of issues (drug and alcohol abuse, major depressive disorder, etc.), and was taken to my local jail. I was in an already

What a weird comment to get so offended by

Nah, I’m pretty sure the white folk who routinely claim “reverse racism” are the smug, predictable, and annoying commenters.
