McConnell, said he’d work with and take cues from the administration and its lawyers. Graham said he isn’t even interested in the evidence. Nunes is directly tied to the Ukraine scandal, and there are more I’m not remembering. It’s not going to be a fair hearing. What if anything can be done to disqualify these…

Found safe and sound!

Looks like she has been located. 

Moscow Mitch, aka Mandarin Mitch, is a goddamned traitor who is deathly afraid of upsetting his paymasters in Moscow and Beijing. Not only does he have to recuse himself from this Impeachment, he has to resign in disgrace.

I know their asses have to be sore from all the dick riding the repubs do for that corrupt sack of shit. I have real hatred for those people. They are all tyrants. It’s like Jefferson said the tree of liberty MUST be refreshed with the BLOOD of patriots & tyrants. So it's a must that we pay attention and make sure our…

Responses bump comments. 😘

He confuses grooming with mentoring.

Don’t they all? Don’t they always? The abusers always offer this as their last line od defense. The slavers, the genociders, the colonizers...you know, that the objects of their attention don’t know how good they had it. That if they’d have acted “right,” if they would have “behaved,” if they would have just…

I’d wager that every bit of his “broken” look is planned and probably even professionally done before any public appearance or interview.

Just imagine for a moment a world where BFP’s work on intersectional feminist theory was actively promoted by women’s studies programs globally. If she herself had been recognized and lauded as a forerunner for this generation’s civil rights leaders. Imagine this woman, writing weekly for large national platforms like…

I vehemently agree with everything up to the last statement, although I think the last statement is a result of a headline that doesn’t match/grossly oversimplifies the article.

Most of the feeds that I brought over from Google Reader are dead.

I think that the lack of diversity and inclusiveness in feminism is a microcosm of society writ large.

“While a group of mostly white, mostly New York-based feminist bloggers were making their names in the aughts, it was the radical selfless activists on the margins of the blogosphere who erected the scaffolding for the feminist internet as we now know it today. As Brittney Cooper, co-founder of the Crunk Feminist…

I’m not finished reading this, but,

my understanding is that the piece is referring specifically to feminist blogging:

Yeah, especially when you realize that if you write something that’s really nuanced and well-articulated (and god forbid, intersectional), no one will read it. But if you write something shallow and petty and that sounds like you’re off your rocker and makes people want to argue against you, suddenly you’re popular…

So racism, misogyny, misogynoir, patriarchy and women agents of the patriarchy ruined feminism. The same forces that elevated Gloria Steinem over Dorothy Pitman-Hughes, elevated the Lindy West(s) of this age over the Jamilah Lemieux(s) of this age . The common denominator is not the internet.

Never forget MizJenkins’s struggles with white feminist bloggers on this very site:
