Ruth Bader Ginsburg has said that’s why she doesn’t particularly like Roe v. Wade. She was trying to establish the legal precedent that would have provided the basis for an argument based on equality. Unfortunately, that probably would have taken several more years, but we’d likely have fewer anti-abortion activists…

Absolutely. What a travesty. Can you imagine if slavery were up for debate, each time a new administration was inaugurated? Absurd and pathetic.

Five. One was a minor. $20

I’m a dude who likes to have the back and sides clean and tight with some length up top, but I like it to blend cleanly. You can tell how terrible someone is by how stark the demarcation is between short and long and by whether the transition point matches their head shape or not.

There was a really good New Yorker article a couple years ago about how a Supreme Court case on contraception called Griswald v. Connecticut was argued on the basis of privacy, not equality. When going to the Supreme Court, the Roe v. Wade lawyers decided to frame their argument off of Griswald and make a case for…

Great news, but let’s see if they’re convicted.

When #45 announced that he wanted to bring in more ICE agents all I could envision was a bunch of scared men looking for any chance they could to make sure they could show all the immigrants that they mean business. It is terrifying.

This is what confuses me about The Good Guy With The Gun. How do we know which guys are the good ones in any situation?

“General Buck Turgidson was one of the finest military minds the Cold War ever produced. The best. Just the best.”

Probably. That’s how it starts—people using authoritarianism as a cover for their own petty vendettas and ugly prejudices.

Its amazing how regular citizens will become complicit in government terror isn’t it?

I’m just praying, praying, praying (besides for the guy’s complete recovery) that somebody got some video of all of these American citizens (including babies and children) being shot and then dragged from their homes illegally. I learned years ago at Greenpeace that video is what makes the difference between shocking…

I believe his daughter if she says her father didn’t own a gun.

But even if Fox News stops peddling right-wing delusions something identical will rise in its place. There’s money to be made hustling geezers and hawking boner pills, and hate never goes out of style, unfortunately.

I get to hear Ted Koppel speak tomorrow night in Philly. Really looking forward to it!

“We have to give some credit to the American people that they’re somewhat intelligent and that they know the difference between an opinion show and a news show,”

I’ve always had this fantasy that murdoch has some sort of epiphany and then gradually starts to steer his media empire towards the left, dragging his customers with it. *crosses fingers*

This is the pattern for republicans, over and over. The party claimed “moral” as a marketing term when I was a child. And over the years, I’m realizing that the way they use it is entirely external. Trump won, in part, because he appealed to this very specific type of moralistic language. He talked about banning…

As always please remember to dismiss any and all trolls. For those who don’t know how to do that, simply move your cursor towards a troll’s comment. You will then see a button that’s shaped like three dots. By clicking on that button you will see another button labeled “Dismiss”. Clicking on that button will remove…

I hold one vestige of hope for Fox New’s fate. Rupert Murdoch, whom is directly overseeing the network following Jabba The Hut’s exit, is closer to the grave every day. Murdoch’s children are embarrassed by the network’s existence and don’t seem inclined to prop it up. Once daddy is pushing daisies I hope that…
