It’s used as an excuse to imprison black and brown and poor people to extract cheap labor from them. It’s not about public safety and never was.

Liberals keep dreaming of this magic bullet, this shocking revelation that will spur protective governmental action that’s going to somehow make it all better. They still think Trump is an aberration instead of the natural result of our system and the way both parties have developed over the last several decades, and…

I hope the short-term ratings boost was worth it, Rachel =\

Tried to dissolve a body in it?

THANK YOU. This condescension has been bugging the shit out of me.

I also, as a poor woman, want to add that poor people can (and did!) participate too. It is possible to call in sick to work and go on strike. Many people I know did this who are poor or hovering around the poverty line. I don’t like privileged people speaking for me in such a condescending way. I still have agency, I…

Strong concur.

This kind of bullshit in-fighting is precisely why the conservatives — who, despite all their faults, are ace at holding their noses in the interest of presenting a solid front to their opponents and attaining their goals— manage to get so much fuckery done while the liberals argue about everything under the sun.

Hip hop is a genre of music that came from a culture. The business of making money off of hip hop and its culture is not the same thing. Hip hop would have existed and will continue to exist whether there was/is money in it or not, because It is a form of story telling and it is part of the ancient ways of keeping a…

Seriously ahead of her time. She could run for Congress with that act today.

According to CNN, this lawsuit is likely to get Trump’s tax return in discovery. That’s why the big legal guns are onto it (obviously this couple’s case is one the Democrats can use to get him on emoluments; Pitts and Gross couldn’t afford to sue Trump, with no damages yet).

Does anyone know if this offer applies specifically to planned parenthood or the literal thousands of hospitals and clinics that also accept Medicaid as well?

See THIS is why we need to stop saying Trump’s name, and always just say “the Republican adminstration”. He doesn’t get to be known as bold, or common-sense, or as some maverick crosser of party lines, when he is literally a fucking mouthpiece for Mike Fucking Pence. We need to stop lamenting the fucking cult of…

The story isn’t Trump’s ridiculous tweets that treat yet another bonkers conspiracy theory site story as fact. The real story is whatever Trump is trying to distract us from with them. And I’m super nervous to find out what what is.

No one gave their children to an order of sisters in the 1950's in Ireland. There was a thriving religious scene and public health service. The children in this home were the children of unwed mothers who were treated as less than the children of married parents, by the people charged with their care. There is nothing…

The last of these homes closed in the 90's - that wasn’t long ago. And this is one is only the latest to be found to have the remains of babies and children buried on site. I saw a documentary about this a while ago (it was so horrible I couldn’t even finish it it). From what I remember, the children born to unwed…

I wonder if Trump is undiagnosed bipolar. He seems to veer from superficial rationality to derangement without a predictable pattern. Or maybe he’s off his meds?

But this is about music and not twitter so...

i think one of the reasons this has garnered such attention is that it’s exactly not the standard twitter beef. as it says, remy just got off an 8-year bid for assault with a deadly, and before she went in they didn’t have twitter and instagram the way they do now. these days beefs do largely happen in subtweets and…

Very little of this beef has occurred via Twitter.
