This makes me want to vomit. His campaign manager said the following: "Team Mitch in no way condones any aggressive, suggestive, or demeaning act toward life sized cardboard cut outs of any gender in a manner similar to what we saw from President Obama’s speechwriting staff several years ago,” WHY IS “I’M SORRY, IT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED” SO FUCKING HARD FOR REPUBLICANS???????? Yeah, this was a total sorrynotsorry asshat way of throwing it back on everyone else. Fuck them.

I need a brief subject change: Boise High School is planning to change their mascot, the braves. There has been talk for a couple of years about it but nothing was done. The Shoshone Bannock tribe has formally requested that all Idaho high schools stop using terms such as "Braves, Warriors, etc". The tribal leadership has requested this. The amount of white people screaming their heads off at how this is SO WRONG and we're honoring them, and liberal snowflakes always offended at everything, and I"LL ALWAYS BE A BRAVE! is astounding. First if your whole life is revolving around your former high school mascot, you need to move. If you didnt even GO to the school just stop. Just because its not offensive TO YOU, doesn't make it not offensive. Just because it was that is the way it always was doesn't mean that is the way it has to be. Ugh. People are so ridiculous. The University of North Dakota used to be the Fighting Sioux, now they are (finally) the Fighting Hawks. People still make a huge deal about the name change. It is infuriating that they just don't get it.

Which sort of ties into the prayer in school bullshit. There was (still is) a LOT of bad shit in schools/everywhere. It was just hidden or covered up (see the catholic church). People didn't talk about abuse, girls who were pregnant were 'sent away' and labeled sluts, generations of people grew up repressed because its not what a 'good' christian would do. Praying didnt make that go away. I love when people who don't belong to an ethnic or social group tell others who do belong to that group what should offend them /s

Yeah because written jokes for the Corespondant's Dinner are totally the same as people mock assaulting and strangling a cardboard cutout. Do they even hear themselves? Ffs.

I believe this is the same event where the gravestones for Amy McGrath were, so clearly these are just some stellar Americans.

And that's exactly what Kavanaugh was pushed through: It's not bc they don't think he raped Dr Ford, it's because they don't care.

So crazy people on CSPAN are saying shootings happen because kids aren't raised right. Crazy people are walking around because there are no asylums anywhere for them to go to. So essentially your all terrible at parenting and crazy people should be locked away from society. Listening to the callers on CSPAN was “reading the comments on the internet” before there was reading the comments on the internet. I know right? It is baffling to me that people actually believe and defend this crap.

I saw that and I was like.... I am in 19 fucking 90? And then they bring out the Video games card? WTAF. I am offended as a gamer. If this were true I would have burned down my town twice over by now. Simply rich white men being old an out of touch stirring the base. It was echoed by the idiots on CSPAN this morning. There is no scientific proof that video games cause violence. And the fatherless claim and is a dig at the underprivileged. This pisses me off to now end.

When I was in Berkeley every single window in town had fliers and posters with progressive values and calls for action. It reminded me a lot of the Del Ray neighborhood here in Alexandria. Oooh. We need to have coffee or wine and you can tell me about your East Bay adventures. I bet you were in some of my old haunts! That part of it certainly is progressive. 😂

Also, if anyone has any good ideas for a protest sign, let me know. My BFF is pulling her cancer fighting ass out of bed tomorrow to protest 45 in Dayton and needs a good slogan.
I suggested one of those mall maps of Ohio with a big “you are here” star over Dayton.

Be careful, though. Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls caused my 6 yo to become OBSESSED with Frida Kahlo. We accidentally discovered, via youtube, that her life was ... even more traumatic than Rebel Girls indicated. In future will vet youtube videos before showing to 6 yo.
