The PBS commentators on his speech in Chicago were noting how different his parting words were that most sitting presidents. The fact that he chose to speak in Chicago and emphasized explicitly that he is going to keep fighting the good fight really suggest that he won’t take up painting. But I do hope he takes a long…

One of the problems with Chait that is also being echoed in some of your thoughts is this assumption that because y’all misinterpreted the meaning of the march it will therefore be unsuccessful. This is patently not true, just look at the numbers that will be in DC and elsewhere. Not to mention everyone who is…

I don’t fully agree with staunch anti-identity politics folks because I feel that it’s unrealistic to ask people to divorce themselves from a lifetime of personal experiences when they hit the voting booth, but I think Jezebel’s collective New Years resolution could be to stoke the fire of identity politics a little…

Honestly though, no matter what it’s called, people who want their issues heard are going to show up. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten lost in a sea of Guy Fox masks and loud anarchists at marches for absolutely different causes.

All the stars! Read before you Tweet, J Chait!

I feel gross about him not because he is a SWCM, but because his whole approach of being annoyed at the name of a march is so stupid. That’s like saying the BLM movement/marches should all be called Anti-Police Brutality. Yes, police brutality is the weapon that kills men and women of color, but there is a historical…

Yes! I think there’s something really special to be said for marching locally, i.e. the election happened everywhere.

Ugh. Let’s just spell out the nightmare these white women are trying to avoid: someone on the street who does not know them makes an assumption about them based on how they look.

Holy sh*t, the Le Pen’s are the worst. They are the modern day Vichy regime. If there’s anyone who should be banned from entering the US for being a threat to our democracy, it’s this blond monster.

The funny thing is that judging from his stand-up (which is not real life, I get it) he would be someone who would say something about people looking gay. Either way, this whole exchange is a sad, sad reminder of how boringly shitty dating apps are.

Ah, the painful irony of leadership that is more focused on re-branding than anything else choosing a new logo that reads so poorly. Marketing fail.

My lawerly father has always assured me I could stay off juries by being staunchly anti-death penalty.

I’m becoming less and less sure that death penalty stance has anything to do with partisanship. It’s too murky and incidious.
