My new And column and a couple of other links

The new And column is up, on the claims that talking about sexism, racism, homophobia etc. is “divisive,” except when you’re in favor of them.
•Roy Edroso looks at the right-wing reaction to the Ferguson shooting and subsequent violence. You’ll be fascinated to know that when cops shoot blacks on the street, it’s Obama’s fault.
•Hobby Lobby may be strong for its own religious rights, but it’s fine with preaching to school kids.
•A suicidal 18-year-old rape victim in Ireland asks for an abortion when the fetus is two weeks along. Although Ireland allows abortion in that situation, it took the authorities 17 weeks to decide she had to get a C-section instead. Because nothing’s better for suicidal rape victims than carrying their rapist’s baby for four months.
•From a few years back, a violent encounter between a young black man and cops (the violence being all on the cops’ side).
•To escape all the liberals on Facebook, try Reaganbook!
•Tyler Cowen, a libertarian who thinks mandatory vaginal ultrasounds are a great idea and that there’s no logical reason employers shouldn’t have the right to demand employees have sex with them also thinks the problem with the poor is they’re not moral enough, so they should try, say, converting to the Latter-Day Saints. Paging David Brooks, the dude’s on your turf!
