    I admit I had to look up the word juggalo. Stupidest shit I've heard in a while. I was disappointed that it wasn't big breasted women marching. Now that would be something to see! I just wished that people would quit equating TRUMP SUPPORTERS with neo Nazis. 63 million people of PATRIOT AMERICANS VOTED FOR DONALD J. TRUMP. Grow up, get over it, and let's MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!!!!

    All politics are identity politics.

    I disagree, but let's use the term ad hominem if you prefer. We attack those we disagree with. Don't like the opinion so we go after the person. It has gotten out of hand.

    I don't attack those I disagree with (unless they are attacking me).
    The original point of identity politics, before it was turned into a swear word like liberal, is to bring up the people who have been trod on or passed over not to force anyone down.
    I know some people feel like their right are being taken away when they have to deal with the rights of others but that really isn't the case.
    In fact it means you rights are actually being reinforced.

    As Laurie Penny pointed out the class struggle is based in race and culture because whenever the powerful want to divide us that is what they use.
    If we are ever to to rise past this current decaying mess we are in we need to recognize that.

    Two words...fox news.

    Just IMO, they have a tendancy to pick up these little irrelevant stories, spin it like the left is responsible, and shove it like splinters under their followers fingernails.

    From the article:

    “The network's full statement: "We collectively made the decision with Robert...In that moment it felt right to all parties.....ESPN notes that assignments are switched all the time "

    I dont see the result of their decision having a devastating impact on anyone else. Unless of course, Mr. Lee comes out to say he has a problem with it.

    The issue is not the cake. The issue is his joke homeschool christian diploma with a 4.89. You don't deserve a cake for a fake diploma where the hardest part is finding the correct shade of caucasian for blonde jesus in your coloring books. Now he is going to wingate on a scholarship, the Christian university which includes notable alumni such as the bigot jesse helms.

    Irish Times exit poll projects Ireland has voted by landslide to repeal Eighth Amendment

    The anticipated proposed legislation will still be very restrictive (as noted in the article) but, IMHO, it is still a significant victory for women's reproductive rights and reason over religion.
