Let’s be clear: Nobody likes being told what to do. I hate it when my mortgage company sends me an email letting me know my payment is due on the first of each month. It’s set to autopay, but I ALWAYS consider disabling that option and paying it on, like, the 14th JUST because they’re yapping about me paying a bill…
Earlier this week, a New Jersey high school teacher was suspended after the school yearbook was edited to remove Donald Trump logos and slogans from the clothing of two high school students. Now the school has announced plans to reprint the yearbook to correct the intentional changes.

A New Jersey school district has suspended a teacher after yearbook photos of two high school students were edited to remove Trump logos and slogans from their clothing.
Tired of punching at the sky, yelling at the television and unfriending folks from high school because of politics? Of course you are! The current administration’s steady commitment to incompetence, corruption and white nationalists has gotten the American people, especially African Americans, riled up in ways not…
A dejected and distraught Hillary Clinton wanted to walk out and congratulate newly anointed Dictator in Chief Vladimir TrumPutin on his 2016 election victory, but her top aide Jake Sullivan wouldn’t hear of it.
Raise your hand you knew, before this year, that the electors chosen in each state — the people who actually determine who the next president will be — could, if they want to, decide to opt out and choose against their state's wishes. Ok, I see a few of you in the back with your hands up, and I commend you wonky…
President Barack Obama has ordered a full investigation into the 2016 election process and alleged hacking by the Russians, Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Adviser Lisa Monaco said Friday, according to CNN.
President-elect Donald Trump is continuing the same ridiculous stunts that got him elected. On Sunday, after learning that Hillary Clinton had joined Jill Stein's movement to challenge voter results in three states, Trump tweeted that millions of votes were cast illegally for Clinton.
On Thursday, Russell Westbrook gave an impassioned speech after being inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame. Westbrook was introduced by Hall of Famer Michael Jordan, who praised Westbrook's loyalty to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

I was in the fourth grade when my white best friend told me a racist joke.
On Tuesday the world as we knew it changed. The orange-tanned man, with the viciously thin comb-over, became the president-elect. On Wednesday it rained, proving that even God wasn't cool with this.
Listen, I know this has been a tough few days. The morning after election night, you probably went to work shocked, stunned and disappointed in America, like when George Zimmerman was acquitted for killing Trayvon Martin, or the first time you heard of the Luther Burger. Such is life for black people in America. It's…
A video has captured a group of middle school students from Royal Oak Middle School in Michigan chanting, "Build the wall," during lunch just one day after Donald Trump was elected president of the United States, the Detroit News reports.
Obamacare has officially moved into hospice. I think the best thing we can all do now is try to make President Barack Obama's life work, and arguably the most controversial and effective piece of legislation during his two-term presidency, as comfortable as possible, because the end is near.
There will be plenty of time in the coming days, weeks and months to do a full post-mortem on what just happened last night — exactly how and why every projection was wildly wrong, what could have been done differently, whether or not Mike Pence is a sentient Death Eater, et cetera. There are a lot of assessments that…
"America's Toughest Sheriff" is no more.
There is an understandable inclination to believe that by voting for and ultimately electing Donald Trump, White people (particularly working class White people) voted against their own self-interests. After all, this is a man who became a billionaire by swindling and defrauding and sometimes just outright not paying…
In the 11 months since my daughter, The Feminist Octopus, decided to arrive on Earth, she's served as my ultimate trump card. Any difficult decision I've wrestled with — career-based or socially; economically or spiritually — comes back to her and her future. How will it impact her life today, tomorrow, and (most…
