Newark Mayor Cory Booker Responds to a Question about the NJ Marriage Equality Referendum
Booker 2016
See, this is how you talk about it.
You DON’T say “marriage equality is JUST LIKE the separate but equal stuff POC dealt with, come on folks, this is civil rights all over again, gay is the new black!”
You say, “this is a civil rights issue, and it should be a given, not something voted for; this is a minority.”
He’s so awesome.

Republicans, Get In My Vagina!
Kate Beckinsale, Judy Greer and Andrea Savage “spread” the message that the one thing women really want in their vagina is the government.

I’m very angry. I’m angry that Bobby Newport would hold this town hostage and threaten to leave if you don’t give him what he wants. It’s despicable. Corporations are not allowed to dictate what a city needs. That power belongs to the people. Bobby Newport and his daddy would like you to think it belongs to them. I love this town and when you love something, you don’t threaten it. You don’t punish it. You fight for it. You take care of it. You put it first. As your city councillor, I will make sure that no one takes advantage of Pawnee. If I seem too passionate, it’s because I care. If I come on strong, it’s because I feel strongly. And if I push too hard, it’s because things aren’t moving fast enough. This is my home. You are my family. And I promise you I’m not going anywhere.

31 Republican men voted against the Violence Against Women Act in the Senate today. All 5 Republican women voted for it.
Surprise.
Sadly, I actually am a little surprised that all 5 women voted for it.

Christian Nation? by OlaBetiku
Honestly, I can’t say I’ve read the bible, but I’m pretty sure they aren’t keeping the “Christ” in “Christian nation.”

Quote reblogged from Brooklyn MuttAs for the killing of Osama bin Laden, Mr. Obama did what virtually any commander in chief would have done in the same situation. Even President Bill Clinton says in the film “that’s the call I would have made.” For this to be portrayed as the epic achievement of the first term tells you how bare the White House cupboards are.
Karl Rove: Why is everyone making a big deal out of this Osama bin Laden killing thing? [Washington Post, sourcing Wall Street Journal] (via producermatthew)
Maybe I’m remembering wrong (I’m not), but I believe what Bill Clinton said in the movie was “I hope that’s the call I would have made.” That’s actually pretty different.
Not to mention this argument is total BS.

Despite several allegations of sexual harassment, Herman Cain continues to treat the issue like it’s a big joke.
According to The Caucus blog, the Republican presidential hopeful was caught on tape Thursday making a wisecrack about Anita Hill, the law professor who lodged sexual harassment accusations against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas 20 years ago.

If the litany of such crude anti-woman sentiments and “jokes” does not make people see how horribly ill-equipped this man is to be President, I don’t know what will, short of maybe groping Michele Bachmann during a debate.
Seriously, Herman Cain is the Rape Culture candidate of this election.

Goddammit. I knew I should have watched tonight’s GOP
teabatedebate.See this Tweet? It’s from exactly one month ago.
Michele Bachmann took me up on my suggestion and put it out there tonight. Seriously. Here it is on Real Clear Politics: “The Devil Is In The Details” Of Cain’s 9-9-9 Plan
Michele Bachmann says if you turn Herman Cain’s “9-9-9” plan upside down it becomes 6-6-6. “I think the devil is in the details,” she said at the GOP debate hosted by Bloomberg and Washington Post.
So I was being sarcastic… but you owe me, Michele. There’s a reason I tagged it #NewConspiracyTheory.
aaaaaaahahahahahahaha. She’s a crazy person!
I would watch for these moments alone if it weren’t for the rest of it, and me going back and forth between grinding my teeth and screaming at the TV.
