Hmm...Judy Garland and Billie Holiday come to mind but I forget that if things predate the era of Oprah Winfrey interviews, they don’t really exist historically.

The Handmaid’s Goop.
Maybe the point is that we as a society should aspire to conduct ourselves better than the most cruel, violent small segment of our population.
A white court took a white child from his parents and gave him to her - practically a child herself.
She didn’t “get custody”. She was permitted, with her parents’ consent, to assume guardianship of the minor child after the child submitted, then withdrew, an emancipation petition.
Okay, can someone explain to me how Kendall Jenner became a major cover model? I don’t mean this as a slam to her or her family. I just legitimately don’t get it. She’s certainly very pretty, but in a generic “prettiest girl at your small town high school that everybody said should be a model” way, not in an “iconic…
She’s won me over which I wouldn’t have thought possible a couple years ago. She’s been very open about her lack of formal education and the fact that, though very fortunate, she missed out on a lot of basic cultural and historical learning and makes a lot of mistakes due to her ignorance. She’s aware of it and seems…
But that‘s the point - it’s not just about her having an opinion. She courted the anti-choice, pro-forced birth audience for years to build her brand - right up until days before her View appearance - using the most inflammatory language, slut-shaming and false accusations. Then, after waving red meat in front of her…
No one is directing venom at her for having an opinion on women’s reproductive rights. They are directing venom at her hypocrisy after building a career making statements about protecting the rights of the unborn, calling “pro-choicers” (her term) “baby killers” and claiming that Planned Parenthood sells baby parts.…
I’m thinking if you scratched the surface of her views, you’d find that bodily autonomy applies to white middle-to-upper middle class women who deserve choice because an unwanted pregnancy would interfere with their sorority mixers and 5 year plans, but not to black, brown or working class white women because everyone…
I went to public school. They didn’t sell ice cream. They had school lunches and your parent put 55 cents in an envelope and sent you to school with it. And I wasn’t really doing a lot of my own shopping as a small child.
I’m pretty sure that being a 7 year old with a rich dad, one probably doesn’t have a lot of need for ready cash on hand.
Sorry, was supposed to be a general reply.
But also this was 20 years ago and I guess this was progressive back then?
Um, no. He has caucused with Democrats to advance legislation but, as an Independent, he has not in his entire legislative career been working for the Democratic Party. That’s not how governments with party structures work.
No one is saying Sanders doesn’t have an extensive legislative history. The issue is that he tried to run as the candidate of a party he isn’t even a member of.
Lyrically, his music themes are generally “negging victimized nice guy” and he’s carefully crafted this underdog persona and talks about how he was a bullied outsider though, by all accounts, he was a popular kid who grew up in a comfy, well-educated, well-connected family who supported and pushed his music career. He…
Soliciting fifteen year old girls is more than a kink. It’s a crime.
There will always be a place in my heart for The Huma League.
I find this hilarious because, as someone who has done a fair amount of first class travel, it’s not like the folks at the front of the plane are attired in smoking jackets, afternoon dresses and grandmother’s pearls. I’ve probably got on jeans, a comfy sweater and slip-on shoes just like the plebs back in row P.
