Do you even know what a misdemeanor alleged assault can constitute?! Because it can literally be anything from bumping into someone “roughly” or spitting on someone.

My DV restraining order against my abusive ex was for imprisoning me in a room, shaking me, and raping me. But sure, it’s TOTALLY a much lower offense!

HAHAHAHAHA omfg I WISH that’s how DV cases worked! You can file the most petty bullshit and the VAST majority of the time, at that level, people represent themselves because they can’t afford a lawyer. That’s certainly what happened to me when my abusive ex filed a retaliatory restraining order against me, following…

I would like to acknowledge the Global Terrorism Database here, which DOES include anti-choice attacks as terrorism. The Director of the organisation fought tooth and nail with Congress when they threatened to cut off the funding if it wasn’t changes, and yet he stood his ground and told them they’d managed for…

Can I just say how utterly horrifiying it is that fucking ROSEANNE, of all bloody people, knows how to correctly pronounce “Iran?!” This is my personal pet peeve of foreign policy/IR and that this bitch can pronounce it correctly and NO ONE ELSE IN OUR CURRENT GOVERNMENT CAN makes me want to set myself on fire!

As someone with a genetic disorder that simply IS. NOT. GOING. TO. GET. BETTER. my best, most sincere advice would be this: For the love of all that is holy, DO NOT suggest they try yoga! Or a diet. That is literally the 1st thing anyone says to me/others with my condition and it makes us crazy and homicidal.…

I’m seriously starting to think we need to bring back duels in politics. At least then we’d be minus one awful politician no matter which way it went...

Right?! I have a freaking graduate degree, I’ve worked at a clinic, and yet when I found myself unexpectedly pregnant at 21 and just completely overwhelmed after giving birth (which has serious complications, requiring opioid pain medication), I simply trusted the medical professionals around me. Which lead to a…

Ivanka is Jewish.

Oh, are we talking about this? Because DAMN do I have stories! Between undergrad, grad, and half a decade of working in academia, I will have to get a burner username, but you know!

YAS! Mikhail Baryshnikov can get it all day every day! 

There’s a HUGE difference between small theatres in other parts of the country and unionized stagehands in New York. I’d suggest you check it out, but I wouldn’t want to recommend anyone subject themselves to that.

Irony = the unsolicited only dick pic I’ve ever received from a federal email account was from a Department of Labor employee.

I would just like you to know that ungreying this comment has been the best use of that power ever!

DC society is incredibly freaking boring TBH. It’s a bunch of old WASPy women who still think anyone cares what Jackie would have thought. The only engery required is to stay awake...

As a mother that lived through the Frozen era, HOW THE HELL IS ELSE NOT PART OF THE DISNEY PRINCESS OFFICIAL CANNON?!

They at least did that to that NRA woman (I’ll be honest, I really, REALLY want to say “that bitch” but I’m trying to be civil....for reasons I’m honestly unsure of other than a Southern upbringing), bless her heart.

The lack of Lesbian Shitass as a tag is an unconscionable oversight.
