When Brock Turner was sentenced, there were a lot of comparisons made in social media to the Corey Batey case. Batey, a black college student in Tennessee, got 15 years for his first offense (participating in the gang rape of — and then urinating on — a female classmate*). But the interesting thing there is that the…

Somewhere uncomfortable. Like the back of a Volkswagen.

I think the idea is that these places encourage women and girls to give up their babies to white, Christian families, thereby creating a new generation of Republican voters.

“the Trump administration has ordered refugee centers around the U.S. to direct pregnant refugee teenagers to anti-abortion clinics”

Translation: “Vee vant zeee media to reports zee stories the vay Zee Donald vants them”.

You missed a bombshell of a story:

“Our office will continue to focus on helping children and I encourage members of the media to attempt to Be Best in their own professions”

You are a brave person to openly say that online with this fucking man baby in charge.

Part of me appreciates Obama’s intelligent, measured adult in the room statement, but most of me wishes he didn’t say anything as all it will accomplish is Trump doubling down on everything just to stick it to him and be the biggest “winner”.

I wish Trump’s dad had pulled out.

I know that the peaceful exchange of power is imperative and we need to organize for the mid-terms and 2020 to fix this shit, but if Obama attempted a violent coup, I’d totally join the resistance at this point.

As they say, democracy is the theory that the people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

Award-worthy headline

I agree with approximately zero of this man’s policies. I thought his inflicting Sarah Palin on all of us was one of the worst political blunders of the last fifty years. I vigorously campaigned against him, and would do so still. But now that we have seen the depths of GOP hypocrisy, and the absolute vacuum of…

You have to ask the hospital for a detailed, itemized bill and you have to go over ever single line of it. Many times people are billed for services / medications they did not receive, or over charged for simple things because they don’t know any different. I was billed $10 for a 8oz bottle of water someone put in my…

This has been going on for years. Even if you do have insurance. When my son, now 19, was born while I was in the military, the stupid hospital sent him and me to collections because they couldn’t validate his SSN, which in Florida you can’t get for at least 10 days after birth, at the time, they figured they didn’t…

I had a baby 3.5 weeks ago. At 39 weeks we found out she had a heart defect. I was promptly put on an air ambulance to the best hospital. While there I suffered a complete abruption and had a crash c-section. My daughter was whisked away with a team of cardiologists. She was diagnosed and treated. We spent several…

We received a bill for $750 a night for nursery services. Since the hospital is a “baby friendly” hospital without a nursery, I immediately called to dispute the charges. Apparently is refers to the linens and bassinette in my room. For the next baby, we’re delivering in a non-baby friendly hospital. If I’m getting…
