Third grade (or maybe it was fourth) class project was the moment for me too. There were other things, of course, but I turned in a project that was researched in the encyclopedias my parents had saved to buy me and handwritten and drawn and put in a three-ring binder and got an F because it looked ugly and I had…

Hahaha I went to college in Denver in the late 90s/early 00s and this was totally a thing!

I think everyone’s conveniently forgotten which administration put her in prison.

I mean, she had a bodyguard. She wasn’t gonna have to fight anybody. Not even a bear.

The thing is, if a state has a school vouchers program, the money for the vouchers is taken away from the budget for the public schools. Public schools get their funding from property taxes for properties in the school district. In some districts, for example in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, more tax money goes toward…

Right? the GOP are masters of controlling the narrative. Dems are the masters of handwringing.

Yeah, mine covers the actual pelvic exam as preventive at 100%, but I had to pay my 20% coinsurance for contraception. Which is totally fine for me. I had my IUD inserted pre-Obamacare and paid like $180. But a lot of women can’t afford that, and then would end up having to scrape up their copay for a $15,000…

We need to stop playing into the GOP narrative that we want free birth control. Under the ACA, we get birth control covered at 100% by our insurance, but we pay for the insurance. It’s not a handout. It’s simply requiring insurance to provide a benefit that the overwhelming majority of women need.

I think she flubbed them on purpose, in character.

Same, basically. Remember how they taught us that democracies never go to war with each other and McDonald’s means peace forever? All we needed was to spread democracy and capitalism and boom, world peace.

Thanks!

According to their lawyer, at least 2 Yemeni LPRs were asked to sign the I-407.

International Refugee Assistance Project as well. If I find out which other orgs I’ll follow up here.

They will ask for your zip code and possibly your street address. Generally senators will only ask for your zip; reps will ask for your street address to make sure you’re really in their district.

Positive spin? I know a few people for whom the Women’s March was their first protest ever, and they got excited about standing up for causes and want to be more involved in protests and politics. And most of them already support causes like BLM, DACA, No DAPL, criminal justice reform, LGBT rights, etc. And for the…

Was this 470,000 on the National Mall, or total at the March? Because the former I think is probably about right, but people trying to reach the March extended for about 4 blocks north of the Mall, completely filling the streets for about 6 blocks east-west. (Does that make sense?) Then there were all the people at…

I honestly don’t know why any of that would be different for city folk.

This is standard Southern bullshit. In my adopted state of Virginia, ‘we’ ‘celebrate’ Lee-Jackson Day the Friday before MLK Jr. Day. It predates MLK Jr. Day, but after MLK Jr. Day was created they actually decided to celebrate it on the same day as MLK Jr. Day, but they un-merged it a while back because even…

City person here and I’ve honestly never even heard of running wiring for any sort of appliance or electronic device through a wall. I mean you plug it into an outlet (or surge protector plugged into an outlet) and obviously the outlet is in the wall. I use wire ties to keep it organized and neat. But you mean like…

The problem is that the FSB set it up and filmed it. (Allegedly.)
