Oh, good. I’m so glad she got to lose right before she died.

She got pushed out of her leadership post at the Eagle Forum because she supported Trump. Her own daughter did most of the pushing.

Yup. She sued her... nephew I think for trying to use the Schlafly name for his brewery because being associated with alcohol was unchristian and would hurt her image. She lost.

They didn’t love her. She was suing them for using the Schlafly name for their own businesses.

“I’m having trouble connecting the dots.” You and everyone else who votes to cut social services and healthcare funding...

I’m not defending these adults, but I’m giving you a little insight into modern poverty: it’s far easier to find an almost new toy in the trash or on a “flea market” than to find money for food(or a job!).

Yup another legal immigrant here. Took me 18 years to get a green card and thousands of dollars to lawyers. My very sick.mother came here legally but it took 15 years. I thought she would die before I ever saw her again. So don’t speak for me. I am fully in support of people running for their lives and doing what they…

Applications are for free but immigration lawyers not.

Government-funded legal services organizations are barred from doing immigration work as part of their funding. These orgs are already overburdened and underfunded and are unable to even help citizens in need. I’m not sure where funding would come for all these immigration attorneys.

The impact of illegal immigration in the US is far from cut and dry.

Since Lena apparently dismissed my reply. I’ll repost it for you.

I’m a legal immigrant here - don’t speak for me, thanks. Treating their illegal immigration as a crime deserving of detention and deportation doesn’t make me feel better. It took me 10 years to get a green card and another 12 to gain citizenship. That was a crazy amount of time and it shouldn’t be so difficult for…

Depends on the state - but here in Maryland, landlords are under no legal obligation to provide buildings free of black mold. I know this sounds unbelievable - but a friend worked in an office with a terrible roof leak and black mold, and the landlord just kept painting over the moldy sheetrock. She talked to a few…

Just a friendly reminder that the Republican party thinks abortion is cruel and “life” matters. Reread this story, then take it all in. If the GOP gave a fuck about life, they would actually do something about the living. Not fetishize a fetus.

Got it - walled-in back yard, swimming pool full of trash:

I haven’t read this until now and I want to jump for joy with sparklers in my hands and hug you until you barf cuz I’m so happy you’re out of there.

The rest of your life may still not be ideal, but it will be wonderful compared to what you just left as long as you remember to love yourself like the universe depends on…

Thank you, we were awarded the home, I changed the lock, so at least, having a place to live is not a problem.

The University of Alabama law school has a domestic violence clinic where law students supervised by lawyers will represent you for free. You can call them at 205-348-4960 to see if they'll represent you. Sending lots of hugs your way!!

I’m glad they’re helping, I doubt she can work any longer, and doesn’t need to be victimized as a single, disabled woman. (I get what you are saying, but horrible exploitative things happen to men, women and children in areas with no social safety net.)

I hope the Kenyan government isn't patting themselves on the back too hard for helping a woman who lived through an actual horror movie.
