working for fox news or the white house must be so easy. any failing can be blamed on immigrants. "sorry for the late reply, an immigrant had my gmail password." "need an extension on this assignment, an immigrant deleted my file." "sorry i didn't pay the bill. immigrants."

Bogotá has many problems but this level of institutional creativity is something I miss every day. The ciclovia, the free concerts, the free testing of street drugs so people can consume safely, street theater. This. Bogotaneans collectively dream of fulfilling lives and try to get there.

In the pelvic floor context makes total sense to me. As a political slogan, what does it even mean!? How is a strong floor, no ceiling making people's lives better!?

It makes me feel less alone to find other people yelling here not knowing what's going on. What a mindfuck.

It is so wild! I don't understand anything any more. Although knowing trump it sniffs like opportunism.

Trust in science will increase when we stop all the money being used to fund anti-science political attacks and spread disinformation.

Have you seen the Pervert's Guide to Ideology where Zizek explains Rammstein's appeal as this eroticized and cynical nazi aesthetic? Bovino's picture makes me think of that only it's not cynical or eroticized, just in your face, stupidly crass fascism.

This is the most authentic political ad in Spanish I've seen. Thanks for being human!

If you boycott elections, candidates logically ignore you and focus on the voters they can still get.

There’s a reason pundits keep nudging Dems to a mushy middle. Those folks are idiots, yes, but they’re idiots who show up to vote.

And that matters more to a candidate than your smart apathy.

Wait, what? I had to look it up and he's 96 and kicking.
