Of course this happens AFTER I've already booked a Southwest Airlines flight to visit my San Antonian girlfriend this winter... It's probably wishful thinking, but I hope the boycott proves effective and ends before then.

"Both sides suck" is true, but a lousy argument for being a centrist. When Republicans are treating transgender people like deviants/predators/lunatics, and Democrats are doing nothing to help trans people (and sometimes offhandedly throwing them under the bus), the answer isn't "in the middle."

Why is a class action lawsuit against Amazon alleging Prime Day is a scam getting zero coverage by mainstream media?

Could it be because media outlets get a cut when a customer purchases a Prime Day product when clicking through their featured deals?

UPDATE: Lawsuit alleges Prime Day is a fraud

The federal class action lawsuit has been ignored by major media outlets, which continue to promote Prime Day deals.

Is it ableist to call Butch Hartman "loony"? Because I can't think of a word more apt to describe him after some of the bizarre things he's said (I'm open to suggestions, though).

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.
