A shared demographic is not automagically a community. Watch a significant portion of the younger trans/enby communities talk about how they hate all cis people -including- cis gays. There is a gay community, but not everyone wants to be in it, until it comes time to vote.

Self hate is still hate

Dv statutes and sanctions are wildly sexist. Couple years ago we watched an NFL player drag his gf out of an elevator by her hair (iirc) and not much happened to him. Women who are arrested for dv against male partners serve more time. That playing field needs to be leveled, with disproportionate strength/size taken…

Training doesn’t mean shit. They need an end to qualified immunity, a huge decrease in pay, and several feet broken off in they ass, AKA consequences.

I'll wait and see if I remember to read this on my computer, where the entire fucking screen ISN'T ad after ad after ad. 

I buy it via Amazon.

Odd how both houses he owned seemed to vanish without a trace.

Predictable.

No, that’s called a “revenue stream.”

Umm, the standards for teachers are already WAY higher than for cops.

Oh that’s just standard redneckese. Heard it a million times.

Elitist.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh, like I get the sentiment, but way to completely exemplarize that they are indeed exactly the Boomer people hate.

They fucked over Haiti economically for generations.

I tell these stories, and my partner gets very loud about how this is all actually illegal in Canada, and people -will- call CPS. I’m like, “That’s great, but I’m teaching your kids to make food, do laundry, and clean because I am not doing all this work.”

I was left to my own devices by the age of about six, with my…

So...where are the punishments meted out to all police officers, since the bad ones CYA’d? Aren’t we supposed to believe in boot camp as The Way?

“We can’t police ourselves, but we can kill y’all for funsies” is not the compelling argument they think it is. 

They haven’t been wrong so far. We’ll see how many people actually get convicted over this. My conservative estimate is zero. 

It depends on who you are, where you are in your life, and how much you had to spend to get there. I am a black woman, 50 years old, I have two B.A.s, and am ABD a Master’s I will probably never get. I have about half a million in student loans. 50K forgiven will be nice, but it really won’t matter that much if the…

That would help a lot more people at the bottom than those at the top.

I absolutely understand the feeling that “the rich already have enough, they can’t have any more,” but that is indeed a -feeling-. Feelings don’t often translate into good policy.
