Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

White supremacy is terrorism.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Republicans do not trust women.

How stupid are these people?

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Everybody saw this coming.

All hail the time of the bunny!

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

Are You LGBT? Don’t Work In Kansas.

If you identify as LGBT and you’re looking for a place to move, don’t head to Kansas. A new executive order signed by Gov. Sam Brownback rescinded discrimination protections for state employees based on one’s sexual orientation and gender identity. The law had covered 25,0000 of the state’s 41,000 employees:

Brownback, who won re-election in November despite an uprising from Kansas Republicans, said in a statement the executive order reaffirms the commitment by the state to follow employment practices that do not discriminate based on race, color, gender, religion, national origin, ancestry, or age. “This Executive Order ensures that state employees enjoy the same civil rights as all Kansans without creating additional ‘protected classes’ as the previous order did,” Brownback said.

It seems that this dude doesn’t understand the meaning of the words “protect” and “discriminate.” And please note, there are only 18 states that actually have non-discrimination employment laws that offer protection for sexual orientation and gender identity. We still have a loooooong way to go, America.

Team Blackness also discussed Jackie Robinson West losing its Little League win, Vince Vaughn’s stupidity surrounding affirmative action, the Chapel Hill shooting, and some bad Valentine’s Day dates.

    The important thing to remember is that marriage equality is the one and only item on The Gay Agenda(TM), so once the Supreme Court gives them that they will all switch over to voting for Brownback for the tax cuts on all the money they won’t be making after he fires them.

    @mdblanche: Thank you! I know that’s the number one item on the latest memo I received from the Great Gay Soviet. We’re all just waiting with baited breath for the opportunity (Oh, at long last!) to vote for the Repubs we’ve been secretly crushing on since they spent the 80’s spitting on the graves of every human being we ever loved.

    Fuck Kansas, and fuck Sam Brownback. In Oregon, if you’re LGBT you can become the fucking Governor.
