“Hey, America—we took this thing you all hated and then we made it WORSE! Love us.”

Childcare costs drive down female participation in the workforce. My wife is a skilled chef. Were she to work, we would literally be paying for her to work. And that’s only comparing her likely take-home salary to the cost of childcare.

“Could Tax Reform Under President Trump Actually Help Working Moms?”

What I thought was interesting (horrifying) was that the sheriff was like “No one ever reports on the guys who shoot people up indiscriminately!” First of all, yes they do, and second of all, isn’t that like saying “man, no one ever talks about all the people Hitler DIDN’T kill!”

He could be a serial killer-rapist who, when not murdering or raping likes to torture puppies and throw kittens off bridges, and was finally caught when he tried to shoot up a daycare and THIS IS STILL NOT OKAY.

The sheriff makes it sound like he (or his staff) forcibly dehydrated this guy because of his accused crimes.

It’s funny, but for a guy who is so incredibly AGAINST any favoritism for minorities.......well, it’s a safe bet he would be the first one screaming racial intolerance if he was brought up on charges.

“I have nearly 1000 inmates. I don’t know all their names but is this the guy who was in custody for shooting up the Potawatomi Casino causing one man to be hit by gunfire while in possession of a firearm by a career convicted felon?” Clarke said. “The media never reports that in stories about him. If that is him,…

How long can you live without water? A person can survive only three to five days without water, in some cases people have survived for an average of one week.

Not even that. He was in jail awaiting a trial for his alleged crimes.

I don’t a flying fuck what the man did that landed him in jail--for the purposes of my current outrage I don’t care about whether he should have been there in the first place--no one should die of thirst in this country, MUCH LESS while in the custody of a law enforcement agency. Full. Fucking. Stop.

The reason no one mentions the dead man’s crimes is that they are irrelevant to the way he was treated while in custody. 

Thomas was diagnosed with a bipolar disorder and his family claims the shooting was sparked by a mental breakdown, an allegation that could be backed up by his erratic behavior, as described by The Washington Post

That’s fucking torture.

Yeah no. I’m not wasting my twenties in bum fuck Alabama. Plus I’m not white soooooo tend to prefer liberal cities less obvious racism and sexism there. Are you actually mad at people for moving where their lives will be better???

Can’t learn a lesson about optimism from Mr. Obama?

What is this? I thought this was going to be a criticism of people not actually doing anything constructive. But a criticism of people for moving to cities? What kind of asinine shit is that?

I’m not sure what you mean by that. It’s just another case of a power structure built by wealthy white men being continually managed in such a way as to continue benefiting the wealthy white men. Those in power seek to maintain their power, and all the better if they can convince the people that they have some…

As a liberal who lives in a small city in bible belt Central TX for graduate school, especially as a queer POC, it is misery out here. It’s lonely, so many people have a chip on their shoulder and want to show you that they’re superior. I just go along with it because if I don’t I’ll waste my time. Also, there are…

There would be plenty more cities available to liberal voters where their voices could be heard if the districts were delineated fairly. The reason only a few major cities go blue isn’t because they’re the only places liberals live. It’s because they’re the only places with districts that allow the liberal voters to…
