Exactly. But of course they don’t have to make sense, because they’re not about making sense. They’re about making abortion impossible for the poor and middle class to obtain. And yet they’re also gutting public services to support people who have more kids. It’s the agenda of cruelty that is the GOP.

Lest Americans think that what is happening in PR does not affect them, there was a critical shortage of IV fluids in hospitals in the months after the hurricane due to the fact that many of them came from facilities in PR that were destroyed. The Boston hospitals that I work with sent out emails instructing staff to…

I’m not sure whether to laugh or scream at Roseanne’s apology for what she said about Valerie Jarrett. Saying Valerie is the child of the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes was not a fucking joke about her looks. It was an intentional invocation of the racist idea that black and brown folks are more ape than…

Good riddance to bad (racist, islamophobic, transphobic, Sandy-Hook-truther, #pizzagater) rubbish.

I’m 100% on board with cancelling the show, but I just don’t understand why ABC had to go and give her a platform to begin with. Her Twitter has been filled with hate for a long time and by ABC giving Barr her sitcom back, it emboldened her to be more vitriolic. And before everyone responds to me, money cannot the…

There are many many reasons these admitting privilege laws don’t make sense.... But among them is just that that isn’t a thing anymore. Like, there are only three doctors left near my rural hospital that admit their own patients. Everyone else just lets their patients get admitted by the general hospital service or…

Meh... I’m looking forward to this? I never watched the original (BtVS forever!) and I enjoy women-centric entertainment by preference. If it is mostly non-problematic and fun I’ll be happy. Tho there is never that expectation.

Here’s to hoping JK buys them and releases them. I think she would let us in on that part of the Wizarding World, she’s let us in on everything else...

Oh yeah, grown males in positions of authority should not be held responsible at all for losing their tempers and assaulting females over words. It’s woman’s responsibility not to anger men with authority if they don’t want to be physically abused. We can tell what kind of shitty parenting any sons of yours have…

I call people like that “ladder-pullers”. Ajit Pai, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz Paris Dennard, Katrina Pierson.

I have to note additionally that every person I know who is here, living/working in the US, on any type of visa though ‘legal’ means. One person, is married to a US Citizen (waiting waaaay too long for her green card/path to citizenship). Another, a family who has been here for 23 years. And so on. They are all having…

WTF are you on about? There is no circumstance where the “destination” of these kids is relevant. The only question is “can the parents of these children, and the children of these parents, reconnect with each other once the US Government had decided what punishment to capriciously apply to either of them?
It seems…

I wish folks had been as mad about this during the Obama years

Anything you can spare helps:

Anyone who isn’t furious and ashamed as an American about this should probably just turn in your credentials as a human being.

Hell, the Equal Rights Amendment still hasn’t been ratified in the US. Women still do not have constitutional equality. There are so many problems in this world, and it can take decade/centuries to fix them.

This speech has Stephen Miller’s grubby, mediocre handprints all over it.

So happy for my southern friends and family, so frustrated with Northern Ireland being left behind again.

After the atrocities of the Magdalene laundries, human trafficking, and pedophilia, the Catholic Church has zero standing to engage in any debate about women and children’s rights from now until forever.

This. Even if he (and I suspect he didn’t really) felt the same need to put men at ease, it almost certainly wasn’t with sexual comments about their appearance.
