I tried to. When the man behind me at the concert went from putting his hand on my shoulder and my hip to straight up rubbing his dick on me in an effort to intimidate me out of my front row spot,I asked a security guard for help. The security guard walked away and another one stood and watched as the mans friend

Because I got away, I convinced myself there was nothing to report. I convinced myself that because it was attempted rape, not completed, no one would care. I didn’t tell anyone for 4 years and even then I played it off as not a big deal. We tell ourselves all kinds of things so that we don’t have to be a victim. I

That’s not what she’s saying.

I don’t think she’s shitting on them.  She’s just pointing out there are options other than “continue receiving five figures for a single night of standup work” and “homeless.”  People (read:men) act like if these guys aren’t immediately restored to their former glory, their poor wife and kids (who no one seems to

Not going to lie, I actually got mad at myself for making this joke because it made me incredibly pissed all over again and I wasn’t able to focus for 20 minutes.

Every time I see or hear Garland’s name, I chuckle to suppress the rage I have for McConnell over this.

Judge Kavanaugh will give free reign to anonymous donors and foreign governments

Three Democrats voted for Gorsuch.

I get why Flake and others don’t want to vote against Kavanaugh-- but they also have to know that putting someone on the Supreme Court who believes that the president is above the law will be disastrous for this country. Merrick Garland was torpedoed for political reasons. Kavanaugh needs to be torpedoed for the sake

I’m a Missourian. And while I wish she were more liberal, I will hold my nose and vote for her. Considering her last opponent was Todd ‘Legitimate Rape’ Akins, she’s a good hold against anything the republicans can offer our state let alone our country. This midterm cannot be a time to sit on the benches because the

Claire McCaskill is running neck and neck in a state that Trump won by 18 points, and nonetheless decided against voting for Kavanaugh. Ladies and gentlemen, that is what political courage looks like.
