I really, really hope she runs. The last poll I saw suggested she wasn't fair behind Rick Perry, and that was before all this, when she had almost no name recognition. Add to that the fact that she will probably lose her Senate seat because of the SCOTUS's VRA decision. I want to donate to her campaign so badly.

I think Wendy Davis did something even MORE important than defeat this bill by being a fucking badass: she brought this ridiculousness into the national conversation. There are going to be women who are energized and willing to stand up for their rights. There are going to be more "angry mobs" on Senate floors and…

I am from Texas. Wendy Davis is my representative. Texans are a proud bunch, but I don't think I've ever been prouder than I am today of my home state. Thanks to the people who took to the capital, to the senators who stood up for what's right and especially to bad-ass rock star Wendy Davis! Please be our next…

"The people can't come and create so much of a ruckus that we can't do our job," said state Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston.

Okay, time for honesty!

HAHAHA! I love stupid people, they are so very entertaining! Tell them to get right on that Supreme Court impeachment. Or tell them to vote them out, even better!

So, so sweet.

This. My mom was born in 1941 and she understands that white women do not get to use the N word. She also knows that having an all-black staff cater a plantation themed wedding is just nasty. And paying your black employees with alcohol instead of money and threatening their jobs if they complain is wrong.

Don't forget women. He hasn't. According to him, we are not even covered by most of the Constitution.

to Scalia, not to you

I CAN'T MAKE THE GIFS WORK! HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN AT A TIME LIKE THIS!?

Good luck finding one.

I have been obsessively refreshing google news all morning, and now I am happy-sobbing at my desk trying to be quiet so as not to attract attention from co-workers... when really I want to run around the office screaming and jumping for joy! But I think that is frowned-upon office behavior.

Exactly - this isn't some dementia addled 80 year old woman. My dad was born in '44 and my mom in '45 - they would never in a million years think anything that she has done is OK. Falling back on age here is inexcusable.

That actually sounds like she's calling this a black conspiracy to steal away her grease-soaked empire. "Evil"?!

I don't have time today, but she also needs your stories. She needs to stay on-topic, otherwise they'll end her filibuster, so if you can share your 500-word story, it'll help keep her going.

Why is it people always get so upset about Affirmative Action but not about legacies? For some reason we're ok with the historically advantaged having a leg-up over the rest of us, but not the historically disenfranchised.

Just the breasts sitting there? Not attached to anything?

Many years ago I was out with friends and this guy walks up and starts hitting on me. I wasn't interested at all and it wasn't just him, I wasn't interested in meeting anyone at that time. After telling me his dad owned Compaq computers (I said it was a long time ago) he leans over and sticks his tongue in my ear.…

I happened to have done what you suggested. My anger at some kinds of people knows no bounds sometimes.
