An anecdote of why you can’t run government like a business. As told by Jamie Vollmer:

So don’t send your kid to school? To camp?

Ahhhhh. I get it now. You’re “that guy” that tells people after unfortunate events and tragedies that they didn’t do shit the right way in the first place and it could’ve all been avoided had they not been “too lazy to parent correctly.”

Yeah what did she think was gonna happen at that party dressed like that?
We can’t stop rapists but we can protect women by having them dress more modestly.

Yeah ok...

That’s...exactly what you’re doing, though. You are not even mentioning him at all.

Are you kidding me, though? Because my child is 13 and due to mental illness I’ve had to leave her alone with doctors and therapists quite a few times. Please do not assign the blame on this to anyone other than the person responsible - this fucking asshole of a man.

To quote a previous piece of Diana’s on this:

She was never left alone. Her mother was in the room with her at every appointment.

It seems as though its a concerted effort to ensure these people do not have access to legal and social recourse. That by ensuring that there is public and active destruction of trust and community, they can use the dynamics of fear to better control populations.

I still think the best name I’ve come across is the Republican Insurance Plan (RIP).

Would anyone have listened to Weird Al if it was just his original music?

WasTED. You’re all welcome.

How unfair to set bond at $2 million. Clearly, this guy already has enough economic anxiety.

These memoranda really are worst-case scenarios. Under these changes, people whose only “crime” was to be arrested for disorderly conduct will be considered an enforcement priority, even if the charges were dismissed. As much as people who oppose undocumented immigrants don’t want to admit it, our immigration…

This is part of how the “social conservative” machine operates: find a small group of people who society already mistreats, then pin a lot of shit on them and act as though your religion forbids you from being a decent human being. Then, when people start moving to protect that minority, cry “religious persecution!!”…

I don’t know. Thinking another race’s culture is yours for the taking kind of implies that you think their people are beneath you.

Yellowface. Is. Racist.

“not culturally sensitive”
