Also “Let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger.” may be a bible quote but it’s also fucking good advice. God forbid that the bible has SOME good ideas.

I think she’s trying to... body roll?

Man I love Cats to this day. But mostly as a nostalgia thing and the cred of saying it’s an “Advanced Theater Nerd” production. However the idea of watching a movie of it makes me want to vom.

I don’t disagree with this but it really should be family leave, wherein “family” is defined as care for children, parents, siblings, spouses, etc. It isn’t time off - it’s actual care work being done that needs to get done.

You need more stars than this.

Regardless of the truth of this, it’s still not a reason to take or keep children from their families. Unless the kid is in the car at the time of the offense. That’s literally the only time where I could see this as an acceptable punishment.

And now this whooollllleee thing makes sense.

It’s not just her having issues. It’s entirely possible to marry someone who you don’t always approve of everything they say or do. 

TBF - admin leave is what they put you on while they get your final check - at least that was the case in the late 90s when I was fired from Kinko’s - admin leave for 3 days, final check on day three.

Also one thing with regards to the 14th amendment in order to make abortion illegal - it seems like the challenge would need to be w/r/t a personhood law, wouldn’t it?

lol I honestly think there are just so many people that are wrapped up in local politics and NIMBYism that there is not enough energy to spend on focusing on a national level. There is obvs a resistance presence here but I see it much more present in protesting than GOTV efforts. 

Realistically we’d need hubs in metro areas to provide stock up in states that are already encumbered by legislation. I’m all on board with investing in a Plan B provider that hands them out to poor women. The hard part is the education that those groups exist without becoming obvious and thus targeted.

I hate only insomuch as it is the racist justification of the civil war. When it comes back to bite a fucking fascist in the ass I’m gonna love it all the way to Planned Parenthood.

Yeah, I’m not claiming it was this wondrous landscape of choice in those states - just that it wasn’t outlawed across the land. 40+ years has passed between now and then and the culture in more than those 3 states has changed. It’ll take a constant and continuous fight to keep whatever rights we have left but it’s…

THANK YOU. I had this exact convo with a friend asking me what the strategy should be and I’m like “Dunno, are you talking New York or North Dakota?” Nothing involving people is a monolith.

This may be true but for the record, she has zero to worry about when it comes to her own seat this year. None of her dem challengers put up any kind of fight or platform other than “I’m a carbon copy of Bernie!” or “I’m super young!” so she’s running against a republican who got a whole 10% of the vote in SF -…

Holy shit I would rip that parent a new asshole. What the fuck is his/her problem?!

I agree with your whole post. Unfortunately, it’s all about long game now. Raise your kids to be fighters and avid voters. The right has been playing this game since the early 70's and are just now seeing the fruits of their labor. That’s an adult lifetime. We have to fight back with the expectation that we can…

Prior to Roe v Wade it wasn’t illegal nationwide anyway - you could get an abortion in abortion friendly states (granted that was 3 states but still). The worst the SCOTUS is revert that decision and let states make their own laws. Congress would need to make it a national thing and with that comes... wait for it... a…
