because AOC is literally their representative. or at least every young New Yorker’s favorite out of the 14 there are representing the city. you might as well ask why they whine so much about New York city bullshit. they live there. Thats a big reason why Drew stands out among the site’s writers and just modern writers…

I think that’s probably pretty common. Not only did the parents of both of these men utterly fail them, but enablers often feel like safer/easier targets for victims’ anger than the abusers. That anger is a lot less tied up in the guilt and shame they feel about their abuse. Plus, the dynamic between abused and…

I find it noteworthy that both of these men are angrier with their mothers than they are with Jackson.

“As if being Donald Trump’s daughter isn’t the hardest job in the world.”

At a big-cat sanctuary in Namibia I went to, they had some cats raised by humans (that you could pet), and some that were brought in wild because they’d become a danger to people (that you could not pet). One of the latter was a jaguar.

Agreed. He’ll either be arrested, dragged out by an angry mob, or he will cause nuclear warfare in order to take everyone with him.

TL;DR: He’s going to jail, and he knows it.

This is slightly off topic, and way too long, but it’s a partial scorecard...

While not included in the tweets here, Trump’s attempts to walk back his comments on Otto Warmbier are especially appalling. Like he is arguing that he was misinterpreted of something he literally said and had the press conference basically do a double take when it happened.

I’ve never told this story before, but I was on a cruise ship that sank after hitting a reef and Eleven hundred people went into the water. Vessel went down in twelve minutes.

You don’t actually think he buys anything off the rack? Those are tailored suits. He thinks they and his ridiculously long ties are “slenderizing.”

Yes! And they are used to having to be concise in their tweets... which translates to short and to the point questions.

And no “um”s or long pauses.... which many of them had. It was like nobody had ever asked someone a question before

Someone suggested part of the reason she and other young female Dems (I can’t remember the others, but apparently there were a few who used their question time well) are good at this is because they don’t feel the need to double-duty their questioning time as, like, exposure. They’re comfortable engaging with the…

Dude, right at the end Your New Girlfriend Rashida Tlaib straight-up called that stunt racist, and there was like five minutes of Meadows losing his shit. It was great.

I am not a 100% all in AOC person (still on the fence, she’s not in my state), but I would like to say her time today during questioning was a clinic in how to question a witness. Concise, clear, forcing unambiguous answers.  No grandstanding about random shit.  She executed on the reason they were at that hearing.  

This. I don’t get the squeamishness about the actual breastfeeding. Just like I don’t get people who freak out about adults trying breastmilk. I tried my sister’s, all my friends’ spouses have tried theirs, there’s nothing gross about it and it’s normal to be curious.

Look, there’s nothing wrong or weird or bad about people breastfeeding other people’s babies. We’ve done it since the dawn of humanity (wet nurses, anyone??) It’s the fact that she did it without consent that feels so gross. It would be like if you kept kosher or halal and your day care provider just fed your kid regul…

Thank you so much, it’s *heavily* appreciated. I’m sorry to hear your kitty has been through so much, but glad he seems to be having such a great time regardless. <3

Glad he lived a happy life. Thank you so much for sharing!
