Look, I understand your concerns. Given the fact that Trump won the electoral college in the first place was so against conventional wisdom; that it’s understandable to expect the worst.

Here’s what I don’t understand about the people on Amazon’s side here. Yes, their current plans will generate 1,500 jobs, which is less than the 25,000 jobs they talked about before. But in the last several years we’ve seen companies make lots of promises about jobs that they’ll create, or not move outside the…

There is a difference between taking down videos calling for or encouraging hate crimes and taking down videos that point on currently happening hate crimes. This is not a slippery slope situation. 

He didn’t try to do anything. He gave up every fight before they started. He didn’t close Gitmo,or end either war. He made a deal with big drug companies to keep prices high. He greatly increased surveillance of private citizens. He started the detention camps for immigrants and family separation. His healthcare plan…

Today’s Politico thinkpiece “Waiting on Obama” focuses on the idea that former President Obama might also be mucking about having a good long think in a cave before emerging to save the 2020 election.

Obama isn’t and never has been a liberal. He is a moderate Republican as his  Presidency shows.

And he certainly doesn’t owe it unwavering support to Bernie Sanders or a socialist America, no matter how many idiotic “Obama has betrayed us!” pieces this site comes up with, ignoring the fact that Obama has always been a liberal, not a socialist.

I do imperfect and stupid things all the time. But I agree with the other people below; if she was sad/hurt/angry, she could have called or emailed a friend.

It applies to Nelson - but saying you don’t think a book or author belongs on some prestigious list is not stepping out of line. 

Well, for one thing Dessen would had to have gone out of her way to find that quote. In any event, even if it is inevitable that at some point, because of a bad day or bad series of days you will lash out at someone who doesn’t and deserve it and accuse them of something they didn’t do (it’s not) that doesn’t make it…

It’s why preteens like her books so much; she acts and thinks like one.

Too far left? Only if you’ve never heard of The Overton Window.

The county has line item approval for every thing the library purchases? That sounds like a fucking disaster. I’m a librarian and our parent organization trusts us to spend our allocated funds as we see fit. Which includes a variety of newspaper subscriptions like the NY Times, WSJ, local paper, etc.

Nothing healthier than holding a 50 year grudge against someone. Seek help.

the internet wasn’t a mistake, social media was

Writers made official-ish announcements on their twitter accounts.

Counterargument: no

I’d like to take this opportunity to point out that too many people blame/credit conservative evangelical Christians, while conservative Catholics fly criminally under the radar on this issue. Conservative Catholics started the no-choice movement, and they’re gonna finish the job. It won’t be 5 conservative evangelicals overturning/severely undermining Roe v Wade, it’s going to be 5 conservative Catholics.

Is this some kind of joke? The cowards are speaking on background like we give a fuck. They realize this will backfire and increase her popularity, right? lol
