“Are you gonna let politics ruin a friendship?”

Yes tf I am

[litany-of-excuses-deactivated20]

People talk about politics as if it’s this isolated, abstract concept that only matters at election time. Somebody’s politics is their world view. It’s whether they think certain human beings deserve rights. It’s how they think the world should be. And if somebody thinks that the world should be colder, meaner, less accepting and downright hostile to people that are different to them, then sure as fuck is the friendship over.

Hell, I’m letting it ruin family.  I have family members who voted for Trump and think the rest of us should “get over it”.  “It” I suppose being nationalized racism?  

I’m BROWN you idiot, so yeah we’re fucking done. 

(These family members are by marriage and happen to be white.)

History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.

Mother cat with kittens came to meet an old friend.

[star-anise]

I can’t believe we’ve already found the best animal video of 2016.

[glenn-griffon]

That is too adorable. You can tell the mother cat actually does trust the dog just by her body language. Typically a mother will watch her kittens closely and be very protective of them, here she completely trusts the dog to play gentle with them. This is just too damn cute.

[glyndarling]

When he bops the kitten and looks up at Mom to make sure he didn’t overstep!

[thesweetpianowritingdownmylife]

The dog is trying to make himself as non-threatening as possible!!

I get that native Americans are upset, I get it. That being said, this country would NOT be what it is today if the actions of our past were not taken

[pinkcheesegreenghost-deactivate]

What do you mean by that

[kingjaffejoffer]

They mean Native Americans should feel grateful that 90% of their population was exterminated because the remaining 10% get to live in poverty on reservations while everyone else gets to enjoy Starbucks and Amazon Prime and pretend our military isn’t terrorizing the rest of the world so we can live in a protective bubble of ignorance.
