ICE must be defunded and destroyed in its entirety and every person who enabled and worked for it must be stripped of all honor and government employment forever. Their names should be added to registries and people should be notified if they're moving into their neighborhoods. They're dangerous.

I think we have enough data to show if you're arresting elderly human rights lawyers you are not the good guys in this story.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Stop saying “not all men” and instead get to the quiet work of not being that kind of man. If you have things to say, say them to the men who are that kind of man.

I like that these articles always say “could” — as if a massive corporate merger ever did anything but raise prices.
Headline: $67 billion NextEra-Dominion merger could raise U.S. electricity prices

I frequently quote the former, especially regarding mundane things, but both are extremely familiar to me. I think they're probably of equal fame for most Americans roughly my age.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

“i don’t want some other kid putting thoughts into my kid’s head that lead to a harder life.” well, first of all, stop working so fucking hard to make being trans a harder life, you piece of shit. second of all, if you can’t handle talking to your kid about gender you probably shouldn’t have a kid.

If Trump invades Cuba and the Cubans manage to blow something up in Florida, they're going to try to spin it as a post-9/11 time for unity type bullshit and I want to put down in writing in advance that's stupid and you don't have to be a communist to see it.

This collection of campaign signs in my neighbors’ front yard really underscores the value of designers understanding typographic hierarchy.
Trio of signs in a front yard. Two are for Ohio Democratic candidates Amy Acton and Sherrod Brown, with their names in large type. The third says “Hitler” at the top in large type, with a bulleted list that compares his actions to President Trump. Unfortunately, from afar, it appears to be a Hitler campaign sign.

The thing about trying to appeal to right wing bigots is that right wing bigots are all stupid idiots who get 100% of their news from propagandists so they will never actually find out that you were trying to appeal to them in the first place

Every time a politician or pundit talks about not wanting boys in girls' bathrooms or sports, I *want* to naively interpret it as reasonable, because on the surface, it *is*, but only if you correctly believe that trans girls are *girls*, and not boys. And unfortunately that is never what they mean.

There is almost nothing a president can do to make the economy much better quickly and a great number of things a president can do to make the economy much worse quickly, which is why it is generally recommended not to elect someone stupid enough to do the latter.
