    \n
  1. Please go sign the petition for single payer health care<\/a>. And (more importantly), go see if your congressional representative is on this list<\/a>, and if they are, contact them and ask them to co-sponsor HR 676<\/a>, the Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act.<\/li>\n
  2. The torture conducted by the U.S. government includes rape<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. Dollhouse <\/em>first episode reviews at What A Crazy Random Happenstance<\/a>, Art At the Auction<\/a>, Constant Thoughts<\/a>, and Art At the Auction again<\/a>. If you only read one of those links, I’d highly recommend the last one.<\/li>\n
  4. Oh, and this post<\/a>, arguing that Echo from Dollhouse <\/em>is thematically the opposite of Dawn from Buffy<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  5. Headless fatties<\/a>. (The first use of the term?)<\/li>\n
  6. The Connection Between Blacks As Apes And Police Brutality<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  7. Imaginary Fat Toys As Cautionary Tales<\/a><\/li>\n
  8. Slut Shaming And The Politics Of Tight Clothes<\/a><\/li>\n
  9. Madinkbeard analyzes<\/a> a panel from an old David Mazzucchelli comic, “Discovering America.” For my tastes, “Discovering America” is the single best-drawn comic I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately, it’s long out of print, and copies are expensive.<\/li>\n
  10. I am bored by sports, but sometimes enjoy sports writing. This NYTimes Magazine article<\/a>, about a great basketball player whose greatness is invisible to conventional basketball stats, is quite good.<\/li>\n
  11. Over at Fat Chicks Rule<\/a>, in comments, an employee of the Rudd Center responds to fat activist criticism of the Rudd Center, and the fat activists respond in turn.<\/li>\n
  12. Celebrate Black History Month At Walmart<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  13. I love this gastric bypass t-shirt<\/a>. A shame it’s not available in sizes above XXL.<\/li>\n
  14. Ten Cartoons from Sean Delonas<\/a>. I’ve seen them before, but the awesome extent of his bigoted asshattery becomes clearer when seeing them all collected together like this.<\/li>\n
  15. Reflections by an Arab Jew<\/a>. (I know this and the above link came from “Alas” comments, but I’m too lazy right now to go find out who I should give credit to, so apologies for that.)<\/li>\n
  16. The 1965 Dewey’s Lunch Counter Sit-In’s.<\/a> “It’s the first documented instance of people protesting over anti-transgender discrimination. …\u00a0 It was an African-American GLBT production.” Curtsy: TransGriot<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  17. The Case For A Public Health Care Plan<\/a>. A public health care alternative isn’t just worthwhile as a trojan horse for an eventual single-payer system; it’s a necessary element of making private plans work well.<\/li>\n
  18. Immigrant in “detention center”<\/a> denied health care because it was assumed he was faking, dies of cancer. I hope the family’s lawsuit is successful. And see also: Abuses Rampant In U.S. Detention Centers<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  19. On The Indefensibility of the Filibuster<\/a><\/li>\n
  20. Boldly sacrificing Mexican lives in order to make it marginally more difficult for Americans to get high<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  21. Hilzoy explains<\/a> why the Democrats never make the Republicans actually do a filibuster — it’s much harder on the majority party than on the party doing the filibuster.<\/li>\n
  22. Why Michelle Obama’s Vogue<\/em> Cover Matters<\/a><\/li>\n
  23. In France, heterosexuals are flocking<\/a> to the “marraige light” alternative created to avoid letting same-sex couples marry. So much for preserving marriage.<\/li>\n
  24. Our taxes pay for “you can’t rape a slut!” abstinence only messages<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  25. Anti-earmark ideology hurts the country<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  26. Free book on free range kids<\/a>. We’re raising our kids to live fearful, constrained lives, and we shouldn’t be.<\/li>\n
  27. More responses to<\/a> “Why Tom Zarek Was Right.”<\/li>\n
  28. Rape victim blamed <\/a>for mistaken ID caused by a racist justice system, bad police practices and a DA ignoring evidence.<\/li>\n
  29. How Not To Write Science<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  30. The idea that one should learn standard English in order to not be discriminated against is poisonous<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
