hi. i live in indiana. i’m terrified and scrambling to get long-acting reversible contraception.

I find her response rather odd. My parents are just that age. They remember having measles and mumps, the panic to vaccinate for polio and older children who grew up with it, and the rubella epidemic that led to people they knew losing pregnancies. Honestly, most anti-vaccers I know are unfortunately under the age of…

I train child care providers and CA just recently changed the law requiring them to be vaccinated. One woman audibly groaned and was like ‘Uhh now they are making us put that poison in us too?’ I couldn’t say anything because I will straight up get fired if I said what I was thinking but my first thoughts were ‘Lady,…

GO HAWKEYES!!!!

nah

He’s so fucked.
He’s going to look 120 by the end of his first term.

I’m trying to balance the “several of these things aren’t actually terrible...” and possible moderate intpretations of some things hes said, against... why the hell is ben carson on a list for secretary of education?

no, he does NOT seem enthusiastic about this happening to him. it is going to get worse when he realizes how cut off from the world and how lonely it is to actually be President. it is a very restricted role. you don’t become king. and we, the liberals, the democrats, and god willing some republicans - our job now is…

Melania and Ivanka’s expressions on election night were of absolute terror.

The thought has crossed my mind, but then we get pence.

I said this to my husband last night. W. Was problematic. I wasn’t fans of McCain or Romney, but even with George W Bush, I felt like he seemed like a good person with good intentions. Same with the others—we had myriad fundamental disagreements and I did not want them to be elected. But Trump is a different ballgame.…

Haha His face. Every time I’ve seen it over the last couple days, he doesn’t look like he’s happy about winning at all.

Don’t feel bad about feeling bad. I’ve been crying off and on in a way I haven’t cried over ANY election. I didn’t cry over Bush 2.0. I didn’t cry when McCain introduced Sarah Palin. I didn’t cry when it looked like Romney might actually win.

Spoiler alert: it’s not going to get better for them. It’s been downhill for them since the Reagan administration, but they keep voting for the folks that ship their jobs overseas, bankrupt their pensions, pull their social safety nets, etc. Asking for sympathy while shooting yourself in the foot really only…

Your vote DOES matter. Yeah, the electoral college math decides the presidency, but popular vote totals are often pointed to as an indicator of how strongly a president is supported by the people. If the popular vote is close, congress will drag its heels on everything Clinton tries. If the popular vote—which includes…

It’ll never end, but Deadspin is sleeping on the couch for awhile.

If by some strange horrible longshot Trump wins, I will cease to speak to anyone who insisted on voting for Stein or Johnson because “I shouldn’t have to vote for the lesser of two evils” or “Clinton is a liar and murderer” or “they are both terrible” or “I don’t have to follow the crowd” or “If everybody would vote…

She married a man that she knew would always be looking over her shoulder. I can’t even imagine.

Isn’t that against the law?
