Everything they do to Black people they will do to you too. Just remember that as a rule and there will be less confusion about why overturning affirmative action hurts Asians and voter ID laws hurt white women
“Roughly 90 percent of women who marry adopt their husband’s last name. Roughly 90 percent of married female voters have different name on their ID than on their birth certificate. 34 percent of women could be turned away from polls unless they have precisely the right documents.”

How the Republican War on Women Extends to Voting Rights
Most women vote Democratic. And most still change their name when they marry. And that’s where the GOP sees an Achilles’ heel.

Missouri Governor Mike Parson can be reached by phone at (573) 751-3222 or by the linked contact form.
Your message can be simple: "There is no reliable evidence proving that Marcellus Williams committed the crime for which he is scheduled to be executed. Do not allow this injustice to proceed."

After I wrote about Springfield and mentioned being the child of an immigrant, a reader emailed to demand to know if I was "in the country legally" which is pretty rich given that I was born in the United States.
Today my niece, who was born here in the US, asked if we could be deported even though her Haitian American parents were also born here. That’s how things are going with this open season on immigration. If this kid is worried we can imagine how others from all immigrant populations are feeling.

Someone is mad at me for saying if Israel can literally develop booby trap pagers and deploy them at will in civilian locations in Lebanon with no international consequences than there is nothing preventing them from doing it to you- but it’s true- it’s also true your own government will do it

We cannot deport 20 M people. No country would just accept them.
They will be put in camps, and then it will be too expensive to feed them, so it's really just merciful to kill them rather than let them starve.
They aren't deporting anyone.

They are not hateful because they are deficient.
They are hateful because they are privileged. Because they think they have the right to treat reactionary instincts as absolute facts and laws that all must abide by.

The defence of Israel's actions as self defence, of transphobia as feminism, of racism ('anti-immigration') as legitimate grievance are not based on ignorance
They all find their roots in the creation of bad faith discourse in service of an oppressive and reactionary status quo

Some years ago I met a strange woman in the woods and she asked for my attention.
I should see if I can find her again. I'd like it back.
