It’s sad that people are okay with him just because he’s better than his party, which is a raging dumpster. Let’s not pretend that he wouldn’t be that horrible if not for the Maryland legislative branch and the other dems that were elected (e.g. The AG). He’s been horrible regarding the Syrian refugees, public…

I mean some teachers can plan it out so their payments are divided up over 12 months instead of 10 months but it’s not like they actually get paid for those summer months. Also, Montgomery County won’t have summer school this upcoming summer because they don’t have enough money! FUCK HOGAN

The fact that he screwed over schools across the state so Ocean City could reap some coin is so repugnant.

FUCKING HOGAN. Professional days were given to the teachers in Montgomery County because they had to pay more for healthcare and they weren’t getting their raises. It was essentially like, “You won’t get a raise and your healthcare will be more expensive, but we will give you more planning time and professional days.”…

Thanks to Delta, one of my oldest college friends missed his MOTHER’S FUNERAL in this clusterfuck. HIS MOTHER’S FUNERAL. Two days of not getting from ABQ to Virginia. I’m outraged for him. Weather is one thing, but the incompetence we all watched him document as it unfolded ... fuck.

Depends. Fair housing laws - at least in Jersey - don’t apply if the owner also lives in the building. That’s how one of my landlords got away with it.

eat airport dinner for two hours, an activity that is strangely appealing to both of us.

This is the quote from the Times that truly concerns me.

I’ve been in Orange County for the last 8 months. I have learned not to say anything vaguely political at the dog park. And I would bet you a year’s salary that the unbelievable fucking bitch whose dog ripped a hole in my dog’s throat and who ran away as soon as she saw my dog was seriously injured is a HUGE Trump…

That’s what made me consider the authenticity of the accusations too. A person can commit terrible personal acts and also be a progressive and educated leader. They’re not mutually exlusive.

WHEN the hell will the statute of limitations on rape and sexual assault be lifted across the board?? Why is this still even a thing??

#AirBNBWhileBlack was a trending topic not long ago. Lots of stories about would-be hosts canceling on Black people when they realized they were Black.

As a black woman I have to agree with this. It baffles me that the depictions of Indians and other Asians are still allowed to be so terrible. I mean...its sugar coated in “positive” reasons like, “He’s a nerd so that’s why he’s bad with women.” Like, no. Still racist. Still terrible.

Other outlets are reporting the woman’s full name is Tami Barker, and that she is an ESL instructor at a local community college. Someone’s in the wrong line of work.

As an Asian person I would like to say how frustrating it can be to tell people, yes we experience racism. And they’ll be like well you guys are so smart! And you’ll be fine.

I can understand being upset that something you worked on ended up getting pulled. I’ll bet she was very excited about having a campaign-that’s a big fucking deal.

I literally lost custody of my child to our abuser because I called 911 approximately 4 times in an 8 month span to report domestic violence. It’s obviously a much more complicated situation than I can put into a few sentences but our abuser (child’s father) was able to take our child to his home state, file for…

This is the result of perverse incentives. Law enforcement is under pressure to show a reduction in crime stats - many state and federal grants are dependent on this reduction. Cops are incentivized to cooks the books by discouraging reporting of crime by the citizenry.

You mean errata, right?

But I love them, anyway. Now I am going down the rabbit hole of reading every single one of the suspect articles. Popcorn and placebos; I cannot imagine a nicer afternoon. :)
