Yeah, I was also motivated after the 2016 election. You know what I did? Volunteered with my local Democratic precinct, sought a city council committee appointment, wrote Postcards to Voters, joined the board of a local nonprofit.

White guy with black wife and I ran this by her. She thought it was funny. I agree it is a little funny.

I teach in the humanities and see a lot of unearned confidence from my male students,

“With our boxes of matches and our necklaces we shall liberate this country.” - Winnie Mandela [necklacing is putting a gasoline filled tire around someone’s neck and lighting it on fire].

The first person that says make MTM a black gender fluid fat lesbian I’m going to slap. Can’t “a black lesbian from the south side of Chicago” be fascinated by an inspiring human being that happens to be a white woman and still make an inspiring biopic?

Oh god damn it.

I support him on this, but let’s not stoop to the right’s level and mix up no-platforming with censorship, okay? They didn’t have to invite him, so they had every right to put conditions on his invitation. Even if the way they enforced them was to cut his mic.

Like Hillary Clinton. Also the feminist icon herself gloria.

Whenever my liberal friends are shocked and horrified at how so many women approve of Trump, I remind them of all the women who would *still* support Bill Clinton today, my friends included.

Man that is messed up, and right after he shoots Richie Incognito, I really think we need to take his guns away from him.

Seems like letting others do the shooting is just plain selfless teamwork.

Whaaaaaa? Israel already dictates it’s capital as Jerusalem

I think these articles do a good job highlighting why this is might be happing:

If Billy Bush were a peer or friend of Trump’s and was egging him on like that, I’d agree he was a complicit asshole. But he was subordinate to both Trump and his NBC bosses (for whom Trump had the #1 show on TV), so Bush really wasn’t empowered do the right thing without fearing for his job.

I don’t think he’s looking to score points with anyone. This seems to be motivated by spite more than anything else. It grinds his gears that he went down for that tape while the Mandarin Orange Candidate got elected.

How easy to say, when it’s Billy Bush’s career at stake and not yours.

I see no reason to knock Billy Bush for saying this now. He had no reason to say “it was real” until Trump lied about it. He knows a lot of Trump supporters will want to believe that it was all just a mistake or a deliberate fake, so it is rather brave of him to defy them and face probable derision and even serious…

That’s what it means to be a professional, like Kate Winslet, who stars in Allen’s latest uncomfortably autobiographical movie and has absolutely nothing to say about the allegations, thank you very much.

If only Selena Gomez had turned down this role, that sexual abuse that happened 25 years before she was born would have never happened.

Is that Lena specific since she is a public figure or is that applicable to all women.
