Maybe. I mean yes, they are all complicit to these and other forms of oppression. But, in this case, I guess we don’t know for sure, but you’re probably right. As a white person who does call out racist language and behavior and has become the most uninvited person in my circle of family and friends, I know for…

He’s been saying this for awhile on Twitter, since before the election, but I suspect he himself doesn’t have the evidence, only witnessed or heard it, like Penn. In those cases, if they don’t remember everything exactly as it happened and can be called a liar, it didn’t happen.

I have only a few frames of reference (people I know who voted for dump) but they get seriously outraged when I say they are racist for supporting a racist. For some of them, I have to hope, they realize they cannot defend their support because the proof is indefensible at the point where we can see he is openly using…

Ew.

I’ve arrived at the conclusion after excusing shitty men from across the class/race/age spectrum. There’s no mystery, it’s just a fact.

This is just the sister system of the for-profit prison complex. They need bodies to keep it going, but not bodies that cost too much money. I could launch into a long, personal story about how our former governor was in bed with the for-profit prison and half-way house corporations and increased incarceration rates…

My man won’t understand that. Keeps bringing up the slag he was texting from work like it’s all normal now ‘cause I let it go but told him in no uncertain terms that the name should not be mentioned. It’s cause they want to downplay their own shittery and make it seem like no big deal once they’ve decided it isn’t.

If an 8-year old knows that nail polish remover is flammable, then yes, this isn’t the first time they’ve done it.

How their rules don’t apply to them.

Noticed that too. Probably doesn’t know the words.

I don’t know if you watch Shameless (you can stream up to Season 8 on Netflix), but Season 8 Episode 3 has Kev finding out he’s from Kentucky and goes to meet his lost family. I won’t spoil the rest but it’s sooo worth watching.

They’re afraid of seeming liberal and fitting the negative-connotation label that the right has made their boogeyman. Bought right into it.

I also felt very button-holed by that quiz, so I guess the idea is that for the right, if you are not right/Republican/libertarian/Tea Party/conservative you must be antifa.

I just finished reading We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver. It’s older, and I had already seen the movie, but I felt it was something I had to read. *spoilers*

That stood out to me too. He admits he liked that she spoke well of him, and that was his only criteria for hiring her. If we were unsure of how easily manipulated trump could be before, this here is the proof from the horse’s ass mouth.

Well there goes my work face.

The article seems to imply by the end, though, that it’s his mother’s fault for not being there or taking an interest in any of her children.

Yeah, after I posted I realized (which I guess I never knew or remembered) that King was the author of the short story. Thanks for the correction.

WOW!

Maine or New Hampshire town, but this is a great description.
