We should call it being “pro-life.”

Yeah, direct donations aren’t that much. The soft money is absolutely huge.

Yes, I also have relatives in Vegas and had a few friends who were at the shooting (thankfully okay after a terrifying ordeal), and I do think the state has made a few shifts in the right direction. The fact that they went blue for the last election was big. The thing is, people almost always come together for the…

This is gonna sound weird, but in that great splinter post yesterday, the money that the NRA gives to these gouls is piddly-squat.

Fuck you Ted Cruz. So the KKK is doing something right?

I wish I could say you were exaggerating about how bad it is, but I can’t.

South Dakota Senator John Thune says it’s the victims fault that they got shot because they stood there like dumb targets instead of “get[ting] small”.

Can’t Dems do something smart for once, take a play out of the Republican playbook and rebrand? Let’s call it Life Saving Legislation, or Violent Death Prevention. Gun Control is a dead phrase. Make them come out and say “I vote against death prevention”

So, so much worse.

Obviously now is the wrong time to talk about gun control but the right time to talk about increased hotel security. /s

“You’ve got to recognize that when there’s a tragedy like this, the first thing we should be thinking about is praying for the people who were injured and doing whatever we can to help them, to help law enforcement”

This week completely broke me. The events in Puerto Rico and vegas make me so profoundly sad and depressed.

I find it really unnerving that for the first time in my life I wake up every morning wishing deeply and sincerely that I will hear the news that someone died in his sleep. Someone orange.

“Rep. Steve Scalise, who was nearly killed in a horrific shooting at a congressional baseball practice in June, has somehow found that being shot in the hip with a semi-automatic rifle “fortified” his views on the Second Amendment—and after at least 59 people were killed and over 500 injured by a semi-automatic rifle…

My favorite part in their phrasing: They think that it was some dude’s choice to liberate us. WE liberate OURSELVES. Full flipping stop.

There’s some misogynistic moron on every thread in this post letting us know that Hef was great, all of these women were asking for it (including Dead Marilyn Monroe). It’s so disgusting and twisted.

100% this. No doubt.

This is why I have only ever trusted two men in my life: My Dad and My Guy - and even then I frequently have to check myself:/

Maybe that’s why he spent most of his time watching. After reading this, I cannot even entertain the idea of wanting to know what went through this man’s mind 24/7. I don’t think that info. would even help us understand sex abusers any better. How does one understand evil?

I keep reading gross things about Hugh Hefner this week (none of which really surprise me but weren’t necessarily anything I sought out before) —and without fail, there will be a ton of dudes in the comments section talking about how he was great and did SO MUCH for women and how women need to “get over” all the…
