Tim Kaine touched on the possibility that parents would shop around for a system that was friendlier to their children with disabilities, and BDV seemed to think that that, too, was also best left to the states to hash out. I think this has the potential to create sender-states and receiver-states, personally, and a…

hence that fascination with bears, right?

Betsy Devos and her family are hilariously evil

I’m not 100% sure we’re going to have the luxury of existence for three more generations, but I like your optimism.

Rember folks, this pasty weasel believes in repealing child labor laws! She wants to go back to the days of children in coal mines! Honestly, that bothers me more than money. How morally bankrupt can you be?

Has there ever been an American president whose foreign policy didn’t lead to the deaths of innocent people at one point or another? No? Ok. Did Donald Trump run on a pacifist platform? No? Ok.

Also, the Obamas had offered to leave the playground at the White House for, you know, Trump’s ten-year-old kid and bunch of grandkids... and he said no.

Sorry, but I grew up in a solidly red county. A very affluent, conservative county in NY. I got the “perspective” of those Trump voters when I was bullied for being brown and being from a mixed family. Those same people are the ones who are now writing hateful, racist posts all over Facebook. I should not have to…

There is some flawed idea that if we just tried to understand, we would magically agree and be on the same side. I pride myself in honestly trying to understand the other side. I work with republicans, I am friends with republicans. I engage with them and try to learn more. Some of it I agree with, some of it I don’t.…

There are two types of people who voted for Trump: people who are racist, and people who do not care about racism (i.e., those who say they voted for him for other reasons discounting that), and honestly, the latter is just as disgusting as the former. There is no justification.

I already know. They are mad because they’re working oh so hard and aren’t getting much of anything in this economy. In other words, they’re being treated the way PoC have always been treated and they don’t like it; but they expect u s to put up with it with a smile.

What is there worth trying to understand and engage with about people who, at best, have signaled they are okay with racism and bigotry?

America spends most of it’s time eating the ass of Trump voters and have for some time. Just look at our election cycle, it begins in Iowa and New Hampshire (the Iowa of the NE)... White flyover state voters have a higher median income than “liberal enclave voters” and nearly every cable channel is devoted to the…

But Selena didn’t post that pic above? Showing the guy taking the photo in the mirror comes off as creepy.

The reaching with this “well his grandma was Filipina so IS HE REALLY WHITE” bullshit is too much.

Seriously. And he’s an anti-vaxxer, so fuck him extra hard.

I am not American but Canadian and I can tell you that the WORLD thought the US had finally grown up and moved into the 21 century when they elected the Obama’s. Whether we agreed with his policies, which sometimes we did not, we respected his gravitas and his ability to talk to people in a respectful and thoughtful…

For many white Americans, racism is an afterschool special episode. For POC, it’s regular programming. That’s why many black Americans teach their children about these issues at a young age so they don’t internalize the messages they get from society and think something is wrong with them. POC parents can’t wait for…

Fuck that.
