Earlier this week, Frito-Lay announced they will be creating and selling “Rainbow Dortios” which the company will ship to anyone who donates at least $10 to Dan Savage’s It Gets Better Project. In case you aren’t familiar with It Gets Better, the group is dedicated to working with teens who are bullied to let them know that […]
As if the arrest of high school student Ahmed Mohamed for bringing a homemade clock to school to show his teacher wasn’t bad enough, now we have the right wing nutjobs–with their electronic bullhorn Fox News–claiming that the whole thing was a giant conspiracy designed to make their rampant Islamophobia seem as racist and intolerant […]
While Donald Trump has been spewing out clouds of hate and intolerance regarding Hispanic immigrants in the United States, garnering both enthusiastic cheers from crowds and rising poll numbers, what he says has also caused pain and concern among those he is trying to vilify.

One Republican who didn’t enjoy last night’s second GOP debate was Ann Coulter.

But Huckabee has now reached a new low with his comments on the Syrian […]
Holly Salzman is a loving mother of two sons who lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She recently sought court aid in coparenting her children with their father, from whom she is now divorced.

Shoebat is the kind of lowlife scum who likes to make and post videos on YouTube in which he rails againsthomosexuals and Muslims, both of which […]
If you’re a progressive politician in the United States, going to Liberty University to give a speech is a bit like walking into the metaphorical lion’s den of the far right in America.
