Note that Isreal’s government never refuses the US foreign aid checks while continuing their shit-talking. If it weren’t for the whole “holy land” thing, they would be a non-issue.

The leverage he has is that the Left doesn’t exist in Israel anymore. It is basically extinct. Add onto that that most of Europe still feels guilty over the Holocaust, and all he has to do is trot it out and Europe isn’t willing to be so harsh.

What fucking magical, invisible leverage does he imagine he has? He’s a blowhard bully who is sounding further and further away from international consensus and law. I guess if you spend so long insisting black is white you lose your bearings on reality.

1. Kerry should have made this speech 2 years ago

I’m certain in my belief. I have no doubt that we’re reunited with loved ones in death - not like everyone is in heaven and happy together, just that our unknowable souls are reunited. I can’t explain how or why but I’ve never questioned it. And for me, it’s a separate belief system from religion. I think you can…

My 16 year old daughter died on May 29th of this year.

Mayonnaise on everything and subjugating brown people.

Thanks for the warning. Can we move on now? Some of us didn’t like either of the candidates and just want this nightmarish election cycle to end. We get it, Trump is “literally Hitler” and a real poopy head, but you know what? I heard practically the same kinds of things from conservatives when Obama was elected.…

So the parents came to the country illegally, the dad got a job with a company that knew he was undocumented, as soon as he was injured, they knew they weren’t obligated to pay any health benefits or workers comp so they fired him, they lost the house, bought an RV, and the kids suffer. The mom isn’t making a living…

Men with dependents, married or not, do get treated better than their female colleagues. I’m a woman without kids by choice and get screwed over at work in favor of my divorced male single father colleague. He’s barely capable of doing his job in a manner that allows him to keep it, but he gets the perks that should…

I work in a blue collar male dominated field out of choice. I’ve moved a decent bit but in every place I work I take on managerial roles. In my current position, I manage men 20 years older than me and well, male. I get blow back. But the fact of the matter is that in my field, landscaping/gardening, I am never not…

Question for you since you’ve worked in the industry: When I am browsing / shopping a luxury retailer, are salesfloor employees taking stock of my buying power according to my appearance or is my middle class self consciousness making it up in my mind?

Yea, I agree. Like I’m Team No One, but it doesn’t seem like she did anything wrong in this situation.

She also mentioned the fact that he was depressed and not taking care of himself. She definitely sounded ignorant and not particularly sensitive, but it didn’t read to me as “he needs to lose weight get fuckable again” so much as “his weight gain is a symptom of a larger sickness that he’s refusing to get help for”.…

I’m having difficulty understanding Margaret Cho’s perspective here. It sounds like Tilda was up front about the issues, expressed her desire to do something about it and sought advice from someone who is in a good position to provide it. And Cho’s responses were thoughtful and measured as well. Not sure what got lost…

Thank you, understood. That’s been my impression what “white feminism” basically boils down to as well.

I might be speaking out of turn, but I think her point is that white women feminists don’t want everyone to be equal, they want to be at the top of the food chain with their white brothers.

So...good for you for taking a class? Seriously, I’m ending this back and forth with you because I really don’t feel like dealing with this bullshit, managing white feelings, or educating white people today. I think I reached my quota quite early this week.

Imagine telling people of color to stop speaking against a racist because she’s a woman. White women are a trip.
