I’m actually not certain it won’t survive a legal challenge. If you look at Hobby Lobby, the Court was fine with finding that the Federal Government’s obligations under RFRA made the “burden” of simply making birth control available was too great an imposition on “sincerely held beliefs” to withstand scrutiny. They in…

Are you Canadian? I am, which is why I am getting tired of hearing people excuse Atwood’s race issues with ‘hey, she’s Canadian.’ I was raised to believe Margaret Atwood was the centre of my country’s literary elite; I didn’t stumble upon her last year. I’ve met plenty of women from her generation who wrestled with…

No one expected her to literally incorporate intersectional feminism as a theoretical term into the novel. That’s not what Clarkisha Kent is saying. It’s not like people weren’t aware of the complicated intersection of race and gender before the term was employed. That theory didn’t emerge from a vacuum. It’s a…

The White House is reviewing a new, horrible policy that, if implemented, would allow health professionals to refuse to treat transgender patients and to perform abortions based on religious or moral grounds

This is what galls me, people who think inexperience is great when it comes to a politician, especially president. Like, we don’t want “an outsider” flying our plane; we want a pilot who knows what he’s doing. And if we need an operation, we want a doctor and medical staff who are experienced with this type of…

It’s purely gaslighting. She works hard to curate her public image to be some sort of hybrid Martha Stewart, Gwyneth and Gloria Steinem, when in reality, she’s just her dad in a prettier package.

Cool, let’s transport ourselves back to 1997 for no reason.

Whoa whoa whoa, let’s not act like republicans have the capacity to worry about the consequences of their actions. Those two senators are only providing lip service to this because their voters support legal weed, they would probably be happy if the feds came in a put a stop to it.

Not to mention attracting minority voters who are unfairly targeted by the current drug enforcement policy. Black men are currently locked up at a rate almost 4 times that of white folks, despite being a smaller portion of the population and not using weed at a rate significantly higher than white people.

I love that the party of “states rights” are against it when the states approve something they don’t like (Gay Marriage/Weed/ect.)

This is why lifetime appointments for federal judges need to end, now. This business of picking the youngest possible candidates for federal judgeships is insane, and is going to produce more and more disgraces like Brett Talley and Matthew Spencer Petersen.

“But he has the opportunity to put in over 100 federal judges, who will serve the rest of their lives, if these nominees continue to be moved forward at the pace that we have seen this year.”

“Pay no attention to that massive pile of medical costs behind the curtain.”

I heard this fucking asshole on NPR this morning. He said in brief - “For a single mother a deduction for a child is $1,000. We have doubled that deduction to $2,000!!!!! And DEMOCRATS HAVE TURNED THEIR BACKS TO SINGLE WORKING MOTHERS....”

What is this from?

I hear and obey.

I’ve had 3 rounds of ECT. It’s hard to say if it is why I lived through those dark times but I’m alive so that’s not nothing! I know it’s not why I’m well now though. That took a lot of other things to achieve but they bought me time. It is absolutely brain damaging too. And scary as hell. (Not an endorsement at all…

You bring the gasoline, I’ll bring the match.
