sallyyates : flootzavut : tiltingslightlybitchward : eowynmoriarty : parhelics : ppl on facebook sarcastically saying “well why don’t we do 40 year background checks on EVERYONE in congress?? there’d be nobody left!1!!” …..that’s a great idea, let’s do that!! Yeah, like, if we got rid of all the pedophiles and rapists and racists and replaced them with good people, how does anyone have a problem with it? I legit had someone unfriend me after they shared that post and I was like yeah, let’s do that! Seriously though. If you did a forty year background check on me, you’d find lots of immaturity and stupidity, but you wouldn’t find any sexual assaults or attempted rapes because I’m a decent fucking human being. Like, this is… not a hot take? This is seriously just keeping abusers out of positions of power. How does anyone have a problem with that??!?
workingclasshistory : On this day, 3 February 1994 workers in Ecuador held a national general strike in protest at the economic policies of the conservative government of President Sixto Durán-Ballén, and particularly a 71% increase in the price of gasoline. The walkout followed a general strike of students the previous day. Pictured: a general strike in Ecuador, 1982 http://bit.ly/2WBGnkk
