Don’t know the age of this voter quoted in THR, but yikes.
That was poignant and brutal. I didn’t see at first how it would relate to a school shooting, but I ultimately appreciated the framing.
The folks over at Jez at least regarding sexual harassment and abuse situations had done proper investigative journalism but while they had sources they had nobody willing to come forward publicly. It’s a shitty positon to be in, and some of the decisions they made were like Buzzfeed’s decision with the Steele Memo,…
They left out this scene
“Also, who is actually doing the singing...”
“this is a pretty poorly-researched hot take” - unsurprising, since research is not exactly what GM writers are know for.
THANK YOU. Aside from the blatant inaccuracy of calling these activists “white kids” (and, yes, I see the P.S. that was added by the author and am not impressed—do better, Root), it’s worth acknowledging that these are teens. They are waking up to what life is like, what privilege means, and they are doing it…
They’ve explicitely talked about how they are inspired by #blacklivesmatter. They’re already trying to signal boost for people and movements that don’t have the privilege of the megaphone that whitness and affluence gives them. . .
I figured, if a Newtown, Conn., elementary school full of dead babies didn’t defeat the NRA, then no one could. But I was wrong! In my naivete, I forgot that the power of whiteness is the only thing more powerful than wheelbarrows full of cash that politicians like Sen. Marco Rubio are willing to accept in exchange…
The lady in the header image is a TREASURE.
So, I see that the author deleted the line about ‘17 white lives.’ Without explicitly admitting to the error, he then added a postscript about how he recognizes the victims weren’t all white while implying that anyone who questioned the ‘17 white lives’ statement knew that the ‘real’ reason people cared about this…
Hey! This is Tommy from Dahchesta. I saw Obama’s dahter in the pak and she was smokin’ a ciggie.
My son is the same age as her and has friends that attended Sidwell friends.
I will forever hate PETA and thr idiots who threw red paint on my grandma’s handmade fur teddy bears. She makes teddy bears with old fur coats as keepsakes for loved ones when someone passes away.
Fuck PETA. They aren’t about what they want you to think they’re about.
Reminds me of the pick-up artist blogs who commiserated that if only the guy who shot up a gym full of women could have gotten a date he wouldn’t have killed anyone. Are they really saying that a guy who abuses or kills women deserved to have *more* female affection? Couldn’t we also consider the idea that women fled…
Women don’t owe you shit.
Side note - Did you see the DCCC leak where they told their candidates to avoid bringing up gun regulations? I wonder if this network will cover it.
Don’t forget about her siblings, Good Gerwig, Decent Gerwig and So-So Gerwig
