Zionism literally just means believing that the Jewish people have a right to a homeland of their own. If you twist it into anything else, the racism is coming from you.
I’m not exaggerating when I say this week’s

is one of the best depictions of a tyrannical dystopia ever committed to screen. I felt claustrophobic and oppressed just *watching* it.
Sorry, I’m just completely stuck on the fact Hancock woke his 8 year old kid up to say he was walking out on their family, and did so purely because his affair was about to be made public. What an absolute bastard.

as someone who suffers from particularly bad cramps I would very much like to feed the men who were on that panel to a nest of fire ants
Look, we've all mocked Corey Stewart for being a Northern-born Confederate, but give him credit: he's truly honoured his adopted heritage by losing just as badly as they did.
That tweet has left me viscerally angry. It's bad enough when people demand Barack help them when they didn't give him Congress or fucking listen to him in 2016. But trying to make Michelle their saviour after she's made it clear she hated being in politics? Fuck outta here.
Michelle Obama: to continue my theme of getting everyone fit and healthy, here's some cool tunes for you to exercise to!
Journalist: why does Michelle Obama, the most popular public figure, not simply end our political strife with the power of her Magic Blackness
This tweet is taking off and I have nothing to push save advice:
- Americans, vote blue across the board no matter what
- fellow white people, stop being entitled douches
- fellow Brits, pray we survive the catastrophe of No Big Ben Bong For Brexit
- leave Meghan alone
See, this horrible framing is why Republicans get away with it. It's a setback for democracy and voting rights. It is part of a multi-pronged assault on the Republic. Not a partisan horse-race event.
Also, do these idiot journos still not understand what happens to a person's popularity when they run for office? It goes through the floor. It's what happened to Hillary, and it would unquestionably happen to Michelle.
sorry, it tickles the hell out of me to read a letter that begins with lines like "voters tired of being patronised by elitist bourgeois liberals" and ends signed by two knights and a lord
Letter to the Telegraph from 28 Tories about the National Trust and its colonialism report: “History must neither be sanitised nor rewritten to suit snowflake preoccupations. A clique of powerful privilege liberals must not be allowed to rewrite a history in their image.”
Yoda hit a droid with a stick over a torch, rummaged around in Luke's belongings and threw them around while giggling madly, and when Luke got quite understandably annoyed by this, Yoda went into a huff and decided this meant Luke could not be taught.

I feel like not just attacking, but actively disparaging the acting work of other women because your fave didn’t make the list is infinitely more anti-feminist than one of *Barbie’s 8 Oscar nominations* not being the Best Actress category.
OK, let me tell you something: women don't give men wrong numbers by mistake. They give them wrong numbers on purpose, and this kind of stalkerish, obsessive behaviour illustrates why.
Ah yes, as we know the humour in the original Star Wars trilogy was only ever of the highest intellectual calibre and never lowbrow comedy like, oh, I don't know, a toolbox falling on someone's head and complaints about how bad something smells.
*whispers* also Luke whacking Rey, like Yoda's shenanigans, had a purpose: to get her to understand he meant reaching out in a spiritual sense and not literally sticking your hands out
"Give him his fucking wall. He won the election. He is owed this." - Andrew Sullivan, who appears to have no fucking clue how democracy works, or that nobody "owes" a person in a job that exists to *serve the people* jack shit.
*wearily taps sign*
Democrats are demonstrably to the left of most centre-left parties in comparable countries on social issues and immigration, are about the same on economics and would absolutely not be centre-right in any of them.
People who express anonymous political opinions like *checks notes* James Madison and Alexander Hamilton did when writing the Federalist Papers are cowards unfit to lick the bold brave boots of Founding Fathers such as *checks notes again* James Madison and Alexander Hamilton
Let me put this as bluntly as possible. People who express anonymous political opinions on Twitter are cowards. The founding fathers risked their lives for their beliefs. These people, for all their bluster, won’t risk their jobs.
For those not aware, Louisville police arrested the lawmaker who just happened to have introduced Breonna's Law to prevent this happening again, on spurious grounds.
Yeah, the son of a prominent family with Jedi and political heritage who *starts out* as the No 2 to the next tyrant trying to rule the galaxy is definitely the underdog here vs the orphan from a desert.
Or a lot of fanboys are big babies who can't handle a female protagonist.
People throwing everything they care about under the bus for Trump, a man who cares about no one and nothing done for him, is a truly inexplicable phenomenon and everyone debasing themselves in this manner will stand alone on a pedestal of public and private shame come 2021.
It's ridiculous that IRA sympathiser and Islamophobe Peter King can still be described as "one of the more moderate" GOPers in the House because the party is just that batshit crazy.
Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), Republican from Long Island, will not seek re-election in 2020, per a statement. He is one of the more moderate GOP members of the House and a former chairman of the Homeland Security committee.
Rose Twitter is attacking Joe Biden for a) genuinely believing the other driver in the car crash that killed his wife was drunk b) expressing the passion and love he had for his wife after she died, because they can tell the Reade story's dead in the water, and it's disgusting.
just sitting here thinking about how Hillary Clinton had to put up with far-right lunatics inventing wild theories of her and her team supporting paedophilia through a pizza parlour while Donald Trump and his admin just actively backed a man accused of paedophilia
The problem is that the activist left have totally warped what was a useful concept for recognising how people are advantaged/disadvantaged in different ways, into a morally simplistic Oppressor/Oppressed dynamic that pigeonholes entire groups regardless of individual context.
Oh boy. Hot take time.
Politically, intersectionality has arguably done more harm than good to progressivism. The way to advance a cause isn’t always to group it with everything else. Preventing Palestinian children from getting bombed has little to do with Planned Parenthood.
So, my account got locked this morning for a four year old tweet wishing hateful anti-trans people would go away but
@jack
tells me a guy who's harassed murder victims' families into hiding isn't violating the TOS
The year is 2019. The Mask is fighting with Mussolini while a mad scientist drops raps about a dead gorilla as a racist reality show star sits in the White House and gives the store away to a pair of psycho dictators who like to off people with plutonium and anti-aircraft guns.
Jesus Christ, the state of what this website does to even normally sensible people. It's not a crime to be wrong about something! There's no smug police waiting to arrest you for admitting it!
US grocery chain, Trader Joes is the first company to temporarily change its sick leave policy in light of the Coronavirus.
To encourage workers to stay home when ill, all employees regardless of tenure & full-time or part-time status will be paid for their time off.

As a Brit, the idea that Democrats would be a centre-right party in Europe is the most common wrong assumption from Americans that drives me round the bend.
Jeremy Corbyn couldn't walk away from a wreath laying ceremony when it was clear it was honouring murderers. But he'll storm out of a cross-party meeting concerning a critical national issue rather than sit with people who left his high school clique - sorry, party.
I see in addition to whitewashing Bob Dole, blaming Trump’s rise on voters rejecting Nice Republicans (TM) we’re also going to pretend that Good Guy Mitt Romney didn’t pander to birtherism and kiss the ring before he did the right thing exactly twice, when it didn’t matter.
If we wake up in January with Biden, Schumer, and Pelosi in charge, Democrats will end the filibuster in the Senate, they will add two new states to the U.S. to increase the number of Democrat seats in the Senate, and they will pack the Court. Every Senate Democrat is in on it.
on the other hand he didn't have to struggle to not get to where you are in your 50s, namely being under the permanent ownership of

I think we can all agree at this point that it’s not naivety. It’s wilful blindness for the purpose of both-sidesing everything and laundering the GOP’s message.
“The race to collect the Infinity Stones has set off a contest between Thanos and the Avengers over whose policies would be best for the universe’s population.”
The Supreme Court decision to overturn national protections for abortion has set off a contest between Democratic and Republican lawmakers over whose policies would do more to help vulnerable mothers and kids. It's a key issue going into midterm elections.
