This is neither the time nor place for that kind of victim blaming. (There is no time or place for victim blaming, btw). Also, teenagers are not good at making decisions....especially when emotions are involved. I know I made stupid dating decisions when I was 17. So I guess what I’m saying is....no.

RIP Mercedes. I’m glad that you got justice. You deserved better.

It’s OK, you guys. The WaPo comment section assures me that this is FAKE NEWS.

I had to student teach ten years ago in BK under this ancient lunatic who told a classroom of black children that because of political correctness she couldn’t call them negroes anymore and that Hurricane Katrina was gods wrath on New Orleans for condoning homosexuality. You seriously can’t make some of these assholes…

I don’t doubt this. Some of the biggest/most vocal bigots I know are teachers. :/

If you are a NYC teacher, particularly in Queens, there is a shockingly high chance that your husband, wife, or other family member is a police officer.

And....they are all white.

100% positive that they got a tip from a racist informant.

Why? She already won.

Thanks for the nonprofit volunteering. I work for one and have many friends in “hey it’s exposure!” field. We legitimately don’t have a budget for lots of stuff, but I make it a point to write letters of rec, credit/links to personal or business page + thank you on social media, etc, as much as I can for folks who…

Now Waymo people are gonna hear about it. It’s gonna be Uber interesting.

Saying that Native Americans take anything for granted seems like one of the most outrageously offensive things you could possibly let pass through your lips.

I’ve been saying it for years. We need to call them drive arounds. This is what happens when you send mixed messages.

I knew there would be at least one of you.

This is a cute take.

This is exactly it. If I am getting paid to send out a post about the jeans I am wearing, I need to disclose that. It is like that super small print on commercials saying that the celebrity was paid for their endorsement. They are sending the letters to brands to make sure that they pass along correct discloser…

Yeah that would make far more sense.

The point of sending them to brands is so when those brands contract with other celebrities to promote their items in the future, they make sure the celebrities follow FTC regulations. The brands are just as culpable; they often write the full caption that appears beneath a post and send it to the celebrity to…

I’m in Chicago as well, and while the Altimas have the general lack of awareness that most drivers seem to have, the Maxima drivers have to be the most consistently aggressive driving of any car I encounter, particularly those in the seventh generation models. It’s like they saw four door sports car on the side and it…
