WHY DID A GROUP OF WHITE MEN WRITE LAWS FOR PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE BORN HUNDREDS OF YEARS LATER WHY ARENT WE ALOUD TO CHANGE AND REVISIT THE CONSITUTION AS TIME CHANGES SHIT THATS FROM 300 YEARS AGO DONT APPLY TO TODAY THE FUCK

[systlin]

You know, Thomas Jefferson said that Americans should revisit the Constitution every twenty years and re-write from scratch as needed to reflect the changing needs of society. 

[systlin]

The reason for this, he said, was that he feared that Americans would not view themselves as stakeholders in the foundation document of US law, and therefore become divorced from the idea of their own self-governance, and that politicians from the President down would become ‘like wolves’.

IMPORTANT INFO FOR WHAT’S CURRENTLY HAPPENING IN TRUMP’S AMERICA: a lot of unwarranted raids are happening across the U.S right now. The latest states that have been targeted by this massive sweep is California, Arizona, Texas, and now Georgia. Over 100 people have been detained, most likely without a warrant. And before someone says “they’re just keeping the criminals out!1!”, lawyers who were able to consult some of the people detained did not have a criminal record. There have also been reports of officers trailing kids walking home from school to lead to their parents.  These officers DO NOT. HAVE. THE RIGHT. TO DETAIN PEOPLE. WITHOUT. A WARRANT.  

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS AND DON’T FORGET TO #RESIST

[weavemama]

Here’s some more info on what’s happening in Georgia 

[fratboykate]

I told you the Muslims were the first step. They’re coming after Latinos with no criminal records in their own homes now. Three minutes from my house they detained over 100 people yesterday and literally dragged them out of their houses. They are pulling drivers over on the streets asking for papers. They are following school buses home and arresting parents when they meet the children at the stops. They’re not releasing the names of anyone they have apprehended. They’re not answering any questions from journalists/CHIRLA/the public or giving reasons as to why they’re detaining people without access to immigration attorneys. ICE has gone rogue and it seems to be in retaliation for the 9th circuit ruling against the Muslim Ban. It was clear that the Justice Department was losing during arguments on Tuesday and about 24 hours later random raids all across the country started happening? Not a coincidence.

Meanwhile on Twitter, Republicans are challenging each other to see who can report more “illegal looking people” to the ICE tip line. There are accounts proudly boasting their report tallies and encouraging more to follow suit. Others are saying they reported their neighbors or friends of friends. Any resemblance to Nazi Germany is not unintentional. Be safe out there. We’ve waded into very dangerous territory.

  Dolly Wilde was famous primarily by her family connections (she was the niece of OScar Wilde) and her reputation as a witty conversationalist. In 1914, she travelled to France in order to drive an ambulance in World War I. Although she “revelled in” attracting both men and women, Wilde was primarily, if not entirely, gay, becoming a central part of Natalie Barney’s lesbian salon. She was, perhaps, more like her uncle than his own sons were - both in looks and wit - writing and pages of letters filled with Wildean wit to lovers, friends and ‘emergency seductees’. Though she wrote letters and told stories It seems all her life the only project she seemed to be able to create was Dolly Wilde: “I see something, I can’t express it.”

  She became addicted to heroin, cocaine and alcohol and was, in 1938, diagnosed with breast cancer. She died of a heroin and paraldehyde overdose in a London hotel room in 1941. She left nothing behind but her letters and vague memories of her.

Episode 729: When Subaru Came Out

Subaru's sales had been slumping for years. So the car company took a big risk and targeted a group of consumers that just about everyone else was ignoring.

Or: How Subaru Marketed to Lesbians Without Straight People Realising What Was Up

VANEK SMITH: They kind of settled into a plan where they would use references that were obvious to gay and lesbian consumers but not really to anybody else.

NASH: And at the time, there was - “Xena: Warrior Princess” was a show that was airing, like, on the WB network or something. And the lesbians loved Lucy Lawless, and everybody loved Xena. So one of the license plates was going to be Xena Lover - X-E-N-A-L-V-R. One of them was P-Townie - P-townie and the…

KING: For Provincetown.

NASH: For Provincetown - and the other one was camp out.

KING: It was so subtle. The message was there, but you would have to look at the license plate on the car in the picture in the print ad to get it.

KING: Amy went to college in small-town Kentucky in a place that was not especially friendly to gay people. She did not have an easy time. And then after school, she moved to Washington, D.C., and one day, she’s in Dupont Circle, and she sees this Subaru ad. KNOPF: And I remember seeing this ad on a bus stop that said, it’s not a choice. It’s the way we’re born. And it made me smile. KING: It made her smile because it was talking to her. It’s not a choice. It’s the way we’re born. She knew exactly what that ad was saying, and not everyone would have known exactly what that ad was saying. It was an inside joke, and Amy was finally on the inside.
