If there’s one thing both sides can agree on, is cable news punditry jeopardized our democracy. We don’t have journalists on cable news anymore, we have reality tv hosts and contestants.
Subscribe to your local and/or national newspapers, support local news networks, and turn off cable news, the survival of our democracy depends on it.
what, you mean after TWO FUCKING YEARS OF NON-STOP COVERAGE OF SOMEONE’S STUPID EMAILS
IT FINALLY FUCKING OCCURRED TO THE PRESS THAT MAYBE THIS BULLSHIT WAS A BAD IDEA
Two months ago, I was trying to grab some tampons at a 7/11-type store in Wisconsin. I was zoning out over my choices when I noticed another person in the aisle with me.
She was wearing a hijab, and was probably in her twenties or so.
We were the only people in the store except for the white guy behind the counter.
And then another dude walked in, a beardy, white 40-something.
I was ready to buy my shit and leave but i just stood there, watching that old dude.
The midwest is such a shitshow i swear to god and I just couldn’t leave until that girl left too. I don’t know these men. I wasn’t going to leave the only other woman there, alone at night, with those two white men. Especially not a woman in a hijab.
I loitered and waited til she got her shit and left. I wandered to the front so I could watch her drive away.
I think in the next 4 years or more, if you haven’t already, you better start watching. Don’t leave people alone. Don’t trust anyone. Don’t assume anyone is safe. Don’t believe you’re being paranoid. It’s our duty to watch.
Trust no one.
Don’t become complacent just because you are in an area that is considered progressive or liberal, either. Hate crimes happen in solidly blue states every day.
So I reblogged a post suggesting (among other things) that we never call the Orange Toupee “president” or by his last name, just to piss him off
How about we give him the Bunsenburner Curdlesnoot treatment and just mangle his name more and more until you reach that point where you can just smash your keyboard and everyone still knows who you’re talking about as long as the initials stay the same?
Not to mention she was a fucking badass in the attack where she lost her legs. Even after taking an RPG with one of her arms and her legs in tatters she managed to autorotate her crashing, exploding blackhawk helicopter into a landing well enough to save her copilot’s life and then drag the both of them free of the wreckage.
And she’s still fighting for this country. She is my hero.
seeing michelle as first lady go out with a sensual and anti-traditional bang feels good in this moment, at the same way that this type of modernism might also be interpreted as a problem in the eyes of white, working class America
it comes up against the huge obstacle of her husband’s politics (not discounting that), but this performance of glamour and sensuality is unbelievable in the house that, as she says, was built by slaves
this is like the very problematic of the moment, for me, in many ways; it’s inexplicable when it comes at a time such as this
