    The Kamala Harris Thread

    I'd be willing to bet that she's also paying attention to how much support Biden lost when he tried to look like a progressive when he really

    Given that settlers are indoctrinated from birth in the European tradition of white supremacy, neither of your examples comes as much of a surprise. Digging out of that hole is frequently...

    First, good point- too late to edit again, though. Outside that particular mis-naming, the rest of my post stands. What would you do about a fetus undergoing a later term abortion, who manages to get...

    I'm not going back to check right this minute, but didn't he already list the DSM criteria for those? As a new poster you might not be aware that AN is occasionally used by students doing their...

    Eating pets, eating babies ... We've seen this movie before. That trope has been used to start wars and pogroms since time immemorial. Anyone remember the picture that went viral sometime back?...

    It seems that you did not check out either commentary. That makes any remarks you might make about the ideas expressed in them pretty irrelevant. That's OK, though. I don't read most of the...

    The Kamala Harris Thread

    heron replied to Tweety's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Since you have no clue what she does, you have zero basis for claiming that she does nothing. PS I don't think "identifies" means what you think it

    Speaking of trans people and bathrooms, I've frequently wondered how one tells whether a given person in a public bathroom is trans. Genital checks at the door? CCTV in the stalls? Or do the bathroom...

    The Kamala Harris Thread

    I have no idea, which is why I don't make meaningless pronouncements about "enacting change" which isn't her job to begin

    The Kamala Harris Thread

    The effect of pathogenic bacteria on human health (aka "germ theory”) was misunderstood for millennia because people couldn't see the germs. The vice president is not an independent actor. She...

    "MSNBC Highlights" from yesterday on YouTube has a couple of interesting takes. First is Rachel Maddow's dive into the right wing's resurrection of holocaust denial. Second, Jen Psaki's exploration of...

    Heh! You gotta admit that it's an interesting riff on the baby-eating trope: re-name infanticide as "post-birth abortion". The possibilities are endless. She who defines the issues wins the debate....

    Reporting HIPAA violation

    Such a violation is a serious legal issue and, like any other complaint against a staff member, isn't - and shouldn't be - discussed with anyone not directly involved. Having never made such an...

    Baloney. What we said was that most pro-choice people were satisfied with the Roe v Wade guideline. I remember being quite specific in my answer, too. Perhaps not being a democrat means I don't

    Not "overblown" in my view. It bears a distinct resemblance to the Qanon fable about dems killing babies for their adrenochrome. It's a deliberate falsehood directly descended from mideval blood libel...

    I don't recall anyone trying to claim that political theater isn't a universal phenomenon. In fact, theater is an ancient medium of communication. Ancient because it's so effective. Ask any...
