Bygones be bygones? The only reason that Prince Charles and Camilla have what they have now is because a thousand or so years ago Charles’ ancestors conquered and consolidated lands under their rule and managed to hold onto it. Their entire existence literally relies on centuries of history. If they can benefit wildly …

I don’t think it’s that people are taking the show “so seriously,” I think it’s that they watched the show and then went to go see how much of it was real and was horrified.

It only appears ironic if you don’t understand what colonialism means. Commenting on another country’s political structure and government (which is fucking normal) is not even close to colonialism.

Oh fucking spare us. We’re talking about the United Kingdom’s monarchy, one that enslaved, exploited, and colonized people all over the globe for centuries. Commenting that the idea that one family (one very white, privileged, cloistered family) alone is divinely empowered to sit on high and pass judgment on the rest…

Even better, Raffensberger just ruled that the recount in GA won’t even affect the official results! If they find serious discrepancies in the counts, they’ll rerun the machine counts in the counties with the discrepancies and that is what will be added to the total. Some quirk of law in GA.

1) being gay isn’t a kink, so
2) calling someone gay is not kink-shaming, and
3) saying something is “just a joke” does not stop it from being offensive. also
4) wtf kind of logic is it that it’s OK to call a homophobic person gay? thus
5) implying that Lindsey Graham is gay (or effeminate) because he does some unsavory…

I support the truth of your statement - but the other thing you can do is recognize that this is an unintentionally racist set of assumptions and work to overcome them, both in your own brain and in the brains of your white friends. You’re no longer naive; you’ve seen enough videos and photos of racist violence and…

DOs and MDs learn the same things in school and go through the same licensing procedures. DOs do learn spinal manipulation techniques but few of them use it. They are certainly "real doctors", and it's possible you have had one and didn't notice.

Reporting someone for having a firearm because you are afraid for their safety is different from threatening to expel a child because he has a BB gun in his home. The article is about the latter, so your comment is irrelevant.

I mean, you could say the same thing about literally any influencer or celebrity. Why get attached to people who play a game or sing real good? Because that's what humans do. We're social creatures.

Anthony Kennedy stepped down from the Court in 2018. He was replaced by Brett Kavanaugh.

We actually don’t know if 50% of homicides in the U.S. are committed by black people.

Really? An article comes out about the deep, systemically embedded racism already in your state and your response is to be salty because someone pointed out that years of history show us they likely won’t do anything? The article is specifically about the massive injustice that already exists in the Massachusetts…

I’m having a hard time understanding what your argument is. I have a PhD in social psychology and I used to study related areas, and I regularly rage about science writers distorting the findings in a study, but Michael Harriot does not do that here (other than the regular hyperbole he employs in his writing, which is…

It is to white people.

At war and under siege? These folks are living in some kind of upside-down twilight zone.

You do realize that there is a middle ground between Medicare for All and Trump, right? That if Trump stays president the chances of Medicare for All ever happening are going to go way down rather than up? That we have a better chance of creating the country we want to see with Biden and Harris in place than we do…

“Kamala Harris declined to pursue the death penalty for a cop killer and then refused to support a bill banning the death penalty.”

The black community has many cultures as well - black Americans, Caribbeans (and all of the national communities within the Caribbean), different African nations, Afro-Latino...

I know a couple of Okies now, and I’m convinced they’re the South. I’m from Georgia, though.
