onionjulius:
You know, there’s plenty enough talk in the U.S. about liberal women vs conservative women, but I really really wish there was as much talk about liberal women vs liberal men.
Because dude, some liberal white guys are the worst people I have ever.
I’m half-heartedly developing this theory about liberal straight dudes and orgies. Like, if you listen to a liberal...

taxation is not the answer →
DAVE ABS -
“It seems to me that there are two principle arguments from the left in favor of taxation: (1) Taxation is a means of redistributing wealth and (2) policies focused on taxing the wealthy and redistributing their wealth serve the strategic aim of heightening class consciousness. Regarding the first, it’s simply false. Insofar as taxation amounts to a redistribution of wealth,...

transcouchnetwork:
Hi! I just started a tumblr, the Transgender Couchsurfing Network. After seeing dozens of posts come across my dash about displaced or homeless trans people needing places to crash, I decided that there had to be a way to organize these posts somehow, and to put those in need in contact with those willing to lend a hand. If you’re trans and need a place to stay, or if you...
“When someone tells me she has feminist concerns with sex work, knowing that sex...”
– To the would-be sex work abolitionist, or, ‘ain’t I a woman’? | rabble.ca (via workingsex)
When someone tells me she has feminist concerns with sex work, I tell her to fuck off.
But the above is good too.

textsfrompredatordrone:
Some two dozen submissions later from several great contributors, I believe that Texts from Drone has made its point. So while we are no longer accepting submissions on behalf of D-RON, we will be leaving the previous submissions up.
As I mentioned before, Texts from Drone was created in…

My name is Marissa Alexander, I am a mother of three children, but at the present time, I am not able to be with them due to the following circumstances. I am currently sitting in the Pretrial Detention Facility in Jacksonville FL, Duval County awaiting a sentence for three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon with no intent to harm. On an August afternoon, I was in...

No.
Just stop.
I saw that. This is yet another reason it was very very stupid to take a webcomic joke meant to promote some dissatisfaction and try and make it into a critical-thinking-free measurement of “good”.”

The genesis for the blog originated from a Twitter buddy’s disgust at the Barack Obama/Hillary Clinton love-fest that occurred the week prior. As brown-skinned Muslims continue to die from our deranged foreign policy, partisan hacks busy themselves with reblogging completely inane images of…

I would like to remind you all that the democratic party, and progressive liberals in general are far more dangerous to leftist values than any fringe GOP loon. What they advocate is precisely what the corporate class wants: A justification for their privilege.

Yes, the 99% Spring is a Fraud | Charles M. Young →
With hindsight gained by googling “MoveOn” and “co-opt” after the fact, I can’t claim that nobody tried to warn me. Many websites with left and even liberal politics had said in so many words, “Be wary of this organization called The 99% Spring. It is a Trojan horse for the Democrats.” I just didn’t read that anywhere in a timely fashion. I’ve had a lot of stuff on my plate lately. That’s my...

I happened upon this little gem from 1998, a pamphlet called The Myth of Overpopulation: A collection of articles about attempts to control the bodies and fertility of third world women (1998) which I wish I had known about when I was writing Invasion by Birth Canal? The fourteenth amendment…

The Ceausescu regime took more aggressive steps in the 1980s. By 1983 the birthrate had fallen to 14.3 per 1,000, the rate of annual increase in population had dipped to 3.7 per 1,000, and the number of abortions (421,386) again exceeded the number of live births (321,489). Ceausescu complained that only some 9 percent of the abortions performed had the...

This is completely off topic, but I just ran into this today and thought you guys would get a kick out of it. :)
It’s some of the “Broadcast Standards” notes that the network censor for FOX wrote to the writers of the 90s FOX X-Men TV series. They make for hilarious reading.
