Fear doesn't travel well; just as it can warp judgment, its absence can diminish memory's truth. What terrifies one generation is likely to bring only a puzzled smile to the next. --Arthur Miller, "Why I Wrote 'The Crucible'", The New Yorker, October 21, 1996

Dems asked Bernie to do WHAT?
Yes, that’s right…they tried to get Bernie to tell people to stop protesting. Do they have any idea who they’re talking to? I mean, this is how Bernie got his start in politics: That’s a young Bernie Sanders, getting arrested … Continue reading

Dear Neil Macdonald: Nobody needs your stinkin’ advice.
Yes, this IS snark. And no, I’m not gonna stop it, no matter who hectors me. And yes, Neil Macdonald, this includes YOU. I mean, what the fuck kind of “advice” is THIS condescension, anyway? But with all due respect … Continue reading

“Veteran Rockette” is out of step with modern Rockettes (and reality)
Es wird nicht aus der Reihe getanzt! Oder doch? Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the New York Post. The right-wing tabloid has finally dug up a lone voice of good old-fashioned conformity — masquerading, as conformity so often … Continue reading

White guy defends other white guy against evil natives. Film at 11!
Meet Konrad Yakabuski. Konrad has an awful beef against all the pesky non-white people ganging up on white people who claim non-white ancestry and make big bank and get critical acclaim by writing books about non-white people, from the viewpoint … Continue reading

Nazi brothels: The hidden horror of the concentration camps
A concentration camp identification card from a female prisoner of Ravensbrück, who was sent to work in another camp as a prostitute. The word “Bordellfrau” should escape no one’s notice. Yes, it’s true: There really was nothing beneath the Nazis. … Continue reading

Undocumented Colombian Drumpf supporter gets deported?
An interesting rumor has been making the rounds of the Spanish-speaking Internets of late. No word yet on whether it’s true, but this sure would be ironic if confirmed…¿no? We all know that Donald Trump made fairly strong statements against … Continue reading

The #NotYourShield crowd takes up fake-black shields…AGAIN.
Well. Wasn’t THIS just so predictable? Yes, that’s right…people who hate blacks (and women, and LGBT folk), and who in the past have created fake “black” (and “female”, and “LGBT”) Twitter-egg accounts during GamerGate…are doing it again, this time to … Continue reading

More homophobic ironies from the Mexican Catholic church

Of burkinis and bans
“Hypocrisy on the beach: ‘We’re looking for ostentatious religious signs…’ ‘Have you seen any burkinis or veiled Muslim women?’” Not wanting to be one of those suffocatingly silent white feminists who have no opinion (or worse, a veiled bigoted opinion) … Continue reading
