Undocumented immigrants aren’t eligible for Social Security, Medicaid, etc., and they pay taxes – they have no choice with respect to payroll deductions, sales taxes, etc., and without a SSN they can’t even collect an income tax refund. So, they actually pay way more into the system than citizens do.

Mass deportation would be such a disaster on so many levels. Leaving aside the heartbreaking prospect of breaking up families (since so many conservatives’ attitudes are “fuck them, they shouldn’t break the law to get here”), it would be enormously expensive. And it would seriously disrupt a lot of industries,…

As a child of two former illegal immigrants this is a nightmare. Every day when my parents didn't have papers i would go to school and wonder if i would ever see my parents ever again :( I didnt realize this until i was a little older but the fear is real. Knowing that another kid is going through this is so tough.…

And while we’re electing Hillary, please remember FLIP THAT SENATE BLUE! Because everyone knows all these 4-4s are going to get appealed and trust me team GOP will block anyone if they can.

So I know this isn’t the purpose of the article, but I honestly baffled by the second to last paragraph. I know that people can disagree with their spouses on politics. I understand that. I, myself, an avowed liberal feminist shitass, have dated Republicans and gotten along just fine.

Dear Antonin Scalia,

Point of interest from here:

There’s certainly a gun culture in the US. But I think that to a large extent the guns themselves are irrelevant (which I know sounds very strange, but bear with me.) People who argue against gun control mostly do it because they aren’t hearing “gun control” they’re hearing “the government is going to take away your…

The big difference is 77% of white men dead from a gun die by suicide whereas 53% of women killed by a gun are murdered cause some dude saw them as property and was able to get a gun. I brought up race cause the senate and congress are composed of mainly white males.

Yeah, I would not have married that man.

I feel so terrible for her. I can not imagine hearing my loved one tell me that story and saying “yeaaaahh no, I get you were terrorized but I'm keeping my guns honey.”

If you look at just the mass shooters, what most of them have in common is a history of domestic violence, participation in MRA groups and/or writing describing their hatred of women. Even the Sandy Hook shooter. Even the shooter who killed his two co-workers (the two new casters in Virginia). Only two or three…

it is definitely more a men’s health issue than a women’s health issue

Look, we need to stop trying to talk sense to Republicans about sensible gun laws. Folks have been trying to use logic for the past 50 years, to prevent these senseless deaths. THEY WILL NEVER CHANGE. I say this as a firearm owner in New Jersey (one of the strictest gun law states in the country, and I’m damn proud of…

I was just going to ask how she reconciles this with a husband who had an A+ rating on gun control. It’s terrifying to me that gun nuts won’t show an ounce of compassion for those who have been affected by gun violence because they are too afraid their guns will be taken away. And that fact that this woman’s husband…

Women are five times more likely to be murdered if their abuser has a gun.

Another commenter said something earlier today about Dems generally being the party of compromise in contrast to the GOP being completely unwilling to even meet them at the bargaining table in recent years. Well, the Dems are finally fed the fuck up. As well they should be.

The Dems so rarely show their guts. It’s wonderful when they do.

Good for them, fuck the non-response from the republicans. The bill may be shit as it is but making them vote on it will give everyone an idea on where the representatives stand on it. It's time to hold them accountable
