This Photo Is Amazing. One Of The Best Shots From Into Darkness. Does Anyone Have Chris Pine In This

Me too! Is there any choice? Here is a woman that has worked her whole life trying to better unfair and unjust situations, only to be constantly labeled untrustworthy...and much worse. I know some people are afraid to vote for a woman, but here is a moment when we can all do the right thing and make history. The alternative is totally unacceptable.

VOTE. VOTE. VOTE! ....and not 3rd Party!

“but what are Hillary’s POLICIES?”

So I got tired of not seeing any news on HRC’s actual positions because every single media outlet is busy fact-checking Trump’s latest Twitter tantrum, and decided to look some up.

Also, tired of stories about 26-year-olds complaining that they can’t get behind Clinton because they don’t know what she stands for, and also have no idea who Ralph Nader is, even though these frickin’ kids are only two years younger than me and also Wikipedia exists

But anyway. Hillary Clinton! Actual positions!

Guys, there’s so much to love.

We already knew she wants harder regulation on the megabanks, right?

Not as hardcore as Bernie wants, but in the same direction?

Turns out she bundles that with a bunch of provisions to support and protect credit unions!

Seriously, I love my credit union. And they’re tiny and responsible and don’t secretly open millions of accounts in the names of unaware users.

Universal quality pre-K for every kid!

Paid medical leave and new-parent leave. Not just for new moms, either. Regardless of gender.

Funding childcare centers on college campuses for student parents!

omg you guys, her plans for addressing autism. Note the total absence of the word “curing.” It’s all about “providing support” and “early diagnosis” and “improving access” and “increasing opportunities.”

She’s full of specific plans for Alzheimer’s research and treatment

Including supporting stem-cell research

You know how otherwise work-ready people sometimes get stuck as unpaid caregivers when a family member becomes sick or disabled? Well, Hillary wants to give those people credit where credit is due.

By which I mean, tax credit

And Social Security benefits

and you know the horrific unnecessary price hikes we’ve seen on EpiPens and various livesaving drugs? Think that oughta be a crime? So does HRC.

Plus she supports emergency imports of similar treatments from other countries (the ones with quality safety standards, obv) if that’s what it takes to save lives

Hillary stands with Planned Parenthood

Supports more funding for VA mental health treatments

And better training for police on how to de-escalate when they’re called in on a crisis situation

Seriously, she’s coming at mental health from all sides, it’s fantastic

Her rhetoric about the police also hits better training to deal with implicit bias

Comprehensive background checks for gun buying!

Close the Charleston loophole

End the special legal protections that gun manufacturers get when the rest of the manufacturing industry doesn’t

eyyyy, btw, guess where Sanders fell on that issue?

that’s right: this time Clinton was the one dragging Bernie to the left

Solar panels!

I mean, clean energy in general, but “solar panels” is the shiniest part

Automatic voter registration

AUTOMATIC VOTER REGISTRATION

No more harried every-four-year drives pleading for everyone to register, even if it’s inconvenient, even if there are serious barriers in your way

No more “welcome to the polling center, whoops, looks like you were registered but it got thrown out on a technicality and nobody told you”

Automatic voter registration!!

Raise the minimum wage to $12/hr

Still not the $16/hr we’d have if it had kept up with inflation since the ‘70s, but a big improvement

I’m not even in a minimum-wage job and this would still give me a raise of at least $320/month

and obviously the tipped minimum wage is a national shame, well guess what, HRC wants to do away with that

Fewer loopholes and more taxes for the super-rich, including the Buffett Rule and a millionaire tax

Hella infrastructure investment plans: covering our roads, bridges, airports, dams, public transit, and Internet access

She’s planning to upgrade our 25 most costly freight bottlenecks

Did you know our country had a cost issue with freight bottlenecks?

Because I had no idea

and this happens over and over with her policies

things you didn’t even know were things

but Hermione Rodham Clinton has already looked up the statistics, talked to the experts, and written the ten-page memo

and listen, voting for HRC for no other reason than to keep Trump and his tax-evading business-bankrupting employee-stiffing racist sexist across-the-board-hateful loose-cannon general inanity out of office is completely legitimate –

but if I never see another “why don’t we know more about her plans?? it is a hopeless unsolvable mystery for the ages!” post again it will be too soon.

This is so creative and brilliant and I want it! Patience of a saint!

Four to beam down, Mr Scott!

This is is possibly the coolest Star Trek TOS fan art I’ve ever seen!

This is just so good!!!

Don't ever take about assassination. Ever!

guys watch the kittens, take your mind of things if only for a moment.

Absolutely love, love this scene!

…“It’s magical.”

I'm an old Trekkie, and I just don't get all the vitriol aimed at the new movies. I saw the original first episode in Sept, 1966 and just love the new movies. I was a total Leonard Nimoy/Spoke fan and now love, love the new cast- especially Chris Pine. He was born to play James T Kirk. Don't know why he gets such grief. What he said about burying the message- the cerebral bits within the action is right on point. Otherwise, how do explain the failure of The Finest a Hours in the wake of the mediocre Superman vs Batman and it's ilk. Infuriates me. Audiences have been numbed by all the comics and video game action. Action and noise are now how movies are measured. And the Star Trek universe was filled with shot-um-ups and the Enterprise being damage and destroyed [twice]. So called fans seem to have very short memories, maybe from all the noise of action films. There were deep moral discussions in Into Darkness, but guess they didn't want to recognize them.

pine-farr replied to your post “George takei needs to be quiet sometimes”

gtakei just fanning the hardcore antijj trekkies madness at this point. i had this epiphany last night through reading some of these people’s comments. they constantly insist trek should only be cerebral, and damn the rest of fans who wouldn’t care, cause the hardcore trekkies WOULD. and it hit me, they don’t WANT trek to be mainstream. they want it to be their private little club. its hipsterism at its very worst.

old school trekkies are legit the worst. they want trek to be like how they remember from either tos or tng and refuse to move forward. they hate abrams verse and anything new and will probably hate the new show too. the new tv series can be the best thing ever and they will still probably hate it if it has one too many explosions or cgi because those arent authentic to the ‘real’ (what does that even mean??) star trek. and takei is just bitter for some reason idek. i just lost respect for him because 90% of his followers are just like him and hate anything new. and takei can hate all he wants, i dont care, but dont fucking diss the franchise that gave you fame less than a month before the new movie comes out and a week after the cast went through a horrible trajedy cause you want some clicks and thumbs ups. fuck him.

Note, I am finding these threads on the twitter feeds of ICU nurses who are now dreading the horrors that Roe falling will bring to their hospitals. This, on top of the horrors that they’ve seen and continue to see because of the pandemic. They were already exhausted and hanging by a thread.

Clinton has gone through hell and back. She's an advocate for women, equal pay, immigration, health care. She's weathered everything. She's eminently qualified. Really love what Bernie says, but Republicans would brand him a Communist...and also he's Jewish. Americans are not ready for him! PS: I'm Jewish and understand the mindset of the majority of Americans. It will be hard enough to elect a woman. And most importantly, we seem to have forgotten that the USA is a country of immigrants. And each wave has been demonized and put down. We forget very quickly.

Dear everyone who says “Oh it doesn’t matter who I vote for, Trump will never win”… it does matter. It absolutely does matter.

Britain gave in to the racist and xenophobic rhetoric. And the consequences to the EU - and to the world at large - will be catastrophic.

I don’t care if you hate Hillary. I don’t care if you think Hillary killed your cat and stole your yogurt. I don’t care. You have to vote for her. You HAVE to vote for her. You cannot allow a megalomaniac racist piece of shit like Donald Trump become the President of the United States of America.

Do not give in to fear and hatred. Do not allow xenophobia and bigotry to run this nation. Do not. Do not. Do not.

I never thought I’d see the day where a nation like Great Britain allowed hatred and fear to rule. Don’t let that happen here.

This is perfect! Why in 2022 are we going backwards. Abortions will continue, but they won’t be safe anymore. This is a War on Women, clear and simple. A woman must have autonomy over her own damn body!

Bible verse for the day

So much impact and emotion from such a fleeting moment on the screen.

me: i can get through this movie without crying the saddest part is probably over already i will be completely okay

beyond:
