On that day, I am going to eat as much avocado toast as baby-boomers think I eat, order a Starbucks holiday drink, donate to Planned Parenthood, and get really high.

I value culture and minority populations right to preserve their own belief systems.

I’m kinda siding with the telescope here sorry guys. Religions are nice and I accept people having beliefs, but not if they get in the way of progress. 

Frankly, there is nothing more sacred to put on the top of a mountain than the wondrous cathedral to both knowledge and the stars that is an observatory. An observatory seeks wisdom from the universe itself - meanwhile, on the dirt, on the ground, I don’t think a bit of this is about what is sacred at all. I think…

These are some of the most powerful people in the nation and because they are less powerful than Mitch McConnell, they can’t do much about this (other than symbolic efforts and using their platforms to draw attention). The gavel MUST be taken from Mitch. This is going to mean after primaries are over, some people in…

Every day a new horror. Eventually shit will come to a head. At some point soon 45’s going to say: “Well...

One part lobbying, one part fear of being seen as antisemitic, one big part wacko Christian death cult.

I don’t get the single minded need to keep Israel happy.

His neighbor should have finished the job.

Shut up, tomato.

I (not a mental health professional), have decided that it seems to me the big difference is whether people's minds are open in general. Plenty of us grew up in these bubbles and knew to question them and tried to grow and learn. Open mindedness is also tied to empathy. 

You’re not an intelligent person and nobody values anything you have to say.

I don’t get the article’s focus on the DNC and Perez, as they’re entirely irrelevant to this at all. It’s like the author’s, and Splinter’s grudge against the DNC is more important than the suffering of the Puerto Rican people.
