I spent the weekend with my in laws and I didn't freak out once!

Honestly, I'm really lucky. The boyfriend's family is a good bunch. MY family, on the other hand, is a landmine.

Ahhh, congratulations. That sounds like it could have been stressful!

The Populism Perplex

tl;dr
A lot of poor whites are actually less interested in working to improve the country than they are in punishing brown people who get more attention for being victims.

What does the white working class want?

Thank you, Mr. President

by rss@dailykos.com (Susan Grigsby)

Thank you, President Obama. 

You rarely said what I wanted to hear, but you always told me what I needed to know. 

Thank you for once again, making me proud to be an American.

For addressing me always as an adult and assuming that I could understand words of multiple syllables. And concepts that require more than a single sound bite or 140 characters to explain.

For restoring America’s place as a respected leader among the other nations of the earth.

Thank you for sharing your family with us. And for allowing us to watch the fine example you and your wife have set in how to raise our children. For letting us see them grow from young girls to young women of poise and promise.

President Barack Obama, daughters Sasha and Malia, First Lady Michelle Obama and Marian Robinson react as they push the button to light the National Christmas Tree during a ceremony on the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., Dec. 9, 2010.

Plutocracy and oligarchy

by Minnesotastan
Not a new problem:
  • "The real difficulty is with the vast wealth and power in the hands of the few and the unscrupulous who represent or control capital. Hundreds of laws of Congress and the state legislatures are in the interest of these men and against the interests of workingmen. These need to be exposed and repealed. All laws on corporations, on taxation, on trusts, wills, descent, and the like, need examination and extensive change. This is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people no longer. It is a government of corporations, by corporations, and for corporations..."

blackmattersus:

It happened about 8:45 p.m. Monday at the intersection of Nancy Street and Washington Street East in Charleston.

 James Harvey Means , who is 15, accidentally bumped into  William Pulliam while walking in the street. The interaction ended with James getting shot twice. James was taken to CAMC General where he was pronounced dead. And his killer ate dinner after that and went to his friend’s house…Then he was arrested and told the officers :  “The way I look at it, that’s another piece of trash off the street.”

KIDS are dying because of racism. This HAS to be stopped. I just can’t take it anymore.

Quit protecting Nazis, unblur their faces, print their names, and expose them for the shit people they are.

If they’re proud enough to believe, think like, talk, identify, and behave as a Nazi, then let them also be proud enough to deal with the consequences of having their heinousness exposed

No, do not do this; He would do it, he would enjoy it, and he would get into a lot of trouble. Protect Chris Evans from our baser instincts.

tyleramato:

It’s Thanksgiving which means tables decorated with tiny porcelain figures of Native Americans sharing corn with pilgrims. It’s a holiday about being grateful, coming together, and being at peace but while we use caricatures of a great people, mainstream media ignores their cries for help. While we set tables with servings of food that are far too large, the original inhabitants of this great nation struggle to fight for clean drinking water and respect for their ancestors.

I’m not great at words but this issue is very dear to my heart so here’s some art.

sunshinetoday:

“In a career spanning three decades, Ellen DeGeneres has lifted our spirits and brought joy to our lives as a stand-up comic, actor and television star. In every role, she reminds us to be kind to one another and to treat people as each of us wants to be treated. At a pivotal moment, her courage and candor helped change the hearts and minds of millions of Americans, accelerating our nation’s constant drive toward equality and acceptance for all.

Again and again, Ellen DeGeneres has shown us that a single individual can make the world a more fun, more open, more loving place so long as we ‘just keep swimming.’”

northstarfan:

bigskydreaming:

The Wisconsin audit is ALREADY revealing that in one county being audited, at least three different precints where Trump one, more votes were tabulated for him than ballots were actually cast.

Let that sink in for a moment.

Wisconsin. One of the election’s most pivotal swing states. That was projected to go to Clinton in almost every poll. Where Trump one by a 1% margin.

Already, three precincts where Trump won, somehow Trump seems to have more votes for him in the final tally….than there were ballots actually cast. 

Please, please, PLEASE call the Department of Justice, your state representatives, use your voices, DEMAND more vote audits, DEMAND our government hold to their responsibilities and protect our democracy. Not only did Clinton win the popular vote, increasing evidence is making it abundantly clear that explicit election fraud gave Trump the win. DEMAND OUR ELECTORAL COLLEGE DO THEIR DAMN JOB AND PROTECT US FROM AN UNLAWFUL REGIME.

Could I get some links to share? My Google-fu is failing me. :/

ThePrettiestOne

I'll be honest, guys, considering the boyfriend's cat's ability to COMPLETELY hide herself, and her high level of anxiety, especially when dealing with loud noises... I'm not even gonna make it out of the apartment.

malfxoys:

malfxoys:

so today a public health official guy came into my class to give a lecture on disaster awareness and he was talking about house fires and mentioned that the reason people most likely die during a house fire is because they refuse to leave their pet inside or they go back to get their pet. and right when he said this my friend immediately turned his head and looked at me and in that moment I had the most complete and genuine acceptance take over my body. I would 100% in front of my family and Jesus himself walk straight back into some raging inferno that was once my house to go get my fat cat. I nodded back

the best part of this post is reading all the tags from animal people who would also go back to save their pets. like no hesitation. walk backwards from heaven straight back into hell. someone even said they would go back for their fish. amazing

President Obama, aka the Dad Joke POTUS, just released the most glorious seven minutes of bad Thanksgiving puns you’ve ever heard

President Obama explained that after last year, his daughters decided they couldn’t put up with his dad jokes, so he was joined at the pardon by his adorable two nephews! President Obama is clearly letting his full nerd hang out now. (Yes he cran!) The full video of jokes is truly worth the click.

Gifs: whitehouse.gov

WATCH THE VIDEO

Honestly I think this is his favorite ceremonial duty of his job.

I’m literally crying.  I’m going to miss this man so much.

Seeing the light at the end of his presidency seems to act on this man kind of like a couple of shots of bourbon.

Megyn Kelly: Fox News Had to Explain to Trump Lawyer Why It Would Be Bad if I Were Killed

ThePrettiestOne

I mean, I'm glad she's willing to defend white women, I just really wish she could have enough empathy to understand that people who aren't like her deserve to be treated with decency.

Megyn Kelly: Fox News Had to Explain to Trump Lawyer Why It Would Be Bad if I Were Killed:

appropriately-inappropriate:

auntiewanda:

homerundamage:

Holy fuck, read the actual article. This is fucking insane. They actually urged their supporters to find and murder Megyn Kelly.

She’s been a piece of shit in the past but I have a feeling she’s about to go rogue. 

Yeah, she’s looking about ready to flip a table or two.

I may not agree with her, but no woman deserves death threats, and in that respect, I’ll happily have her back.

That said, she’s also a very eloquent and smart woman–if she crosses the aisle, more power us.

Nobody’s more active than an apostate.
