I respect this, but I don’t know if I agree.

I don’t want to be a white person dominating the discussion or steering it away from the point with a #notallwhitepeople, but some individual pale skinned people are genuinely curious to know their family history, the good, the bad, and the ugly. My family has some First Nations blood, but we don’t identify with any…

No, she didn’t and no, she didn’t. Those are both bits of right wing propaganda, aka lies. And, again, she has publicly apologized for the university she worked for saying that in their brochure, so what the fuck more do you whiners want from her?

She may have used it to further her career, but she didn’t receive scholarships. In her law school applications, she marked no for the question about applying for admission as a minority student. When she taught at University of Texas right after graduation, she was still listing herself as white. It was only 15+…

Descendants of genocide have a notoriously difficult time tracing their heritage. That’s the whole point of genocide. This could be said of Ojibway... or the Jews, Assyrians, or Armenians. Would it be better if mixed race people identified as white? Should Jews refuse to convert back? Should Assyrians claim that…

My problem with the “community claims you” argument is that, well, it’s not always feasible. I did not grow up in a NA community, largely because my mother was expelled from her community for marrying a white man. “Marry Out, Get Out” is absolutely still a thing (and it’s shameful). The standard advocated in that…

In other Dirt Bag-y news - as a believer in a balanced universe, the entirety of creation owes it to us to make this happen:

A veteran criminal gang with 3 women and a 72 year old master counterfeiter? Can we get a show about them? They sound infinitely more interesting than the Kardashians.

I see no reason not to direct anyone in a MAGA hat and an ill-fitting American flag tee shirt to Southeast.

I actually have some insider info on this! My brother is a ticket broker in the DC area. For both of Obama’s inaugurations, people were offering him absurd amounts of money for “extra” tickets that just didn’t exist. For Trump’s, he’s offering free extra tickets to anyone who purchases them.

Here were your options for marching:

That said, outbound plane tickets from DCA, BWI, and IAD are sold out.

Some people see blue and black, some people see white and gold, and some people see an empty store front.

$100,000 of taxpayer money is “the harm”

It seems like a lot of people are struggling with the perception of unfairness, especially if they have loved ones who have gender dysphoria and aren’t criminals of any sort, much less murderers, and continue to be unable to access care.

Healthcare issues asside, what is this sexist bullshit? I never wear any of these things and I am female. You know what I wear? Bras and menstrual pads. Those are the only specific female itmes I can think off that I wear. Sheez why does “being female” always gets reduced to stereotypes?

If Quine had suffered a heart attack, the tax payers, including the victims daughter, would have to pay for her medical costs. Her doctors decided that gender reassignment was a life saving surgery, since she had attempted suicide before, and so the state has to pay for it just like they’d pay for a double bypass…

If a woman in prison needs to have a mastectomy, is she given reconstructive surgery at no cost? If they are going to pay for this, then it absolutely should be. What constitutes “medically necessary”? Because let’s be honest, you can get insurance to cover a lot of things that are “to make you more comfortable” with…

I wish Shiloh Quine had had some empathy for Shahid Ali Baig and his family.
