Wow. Really? You thought your friends would buy you a phone?

I see everyone’s points, but I also think we are dismissing this woman when she’s actually speaking to a real issue... I say this as a former cadet headed into the military herself, from a military family.... So two things:

The irony of the picture below tore a hole in reality.

It’s slow to phase out, but the military is where ‘female’ still gets used a lot, particularly as a modifier for gender-neutral/pre-open enlistment terms like Soldier, Airman, Marine, Sailor. Still problematic as fuck, but as the standards improve so does the language

But it was the revelation that the supervisor of the unit instructed officers to carry a toy gun just in case they found themselves “in a jam” and needed to plant one.

I don’t think Boston is the big problem. I think Sports Radio in general is the culprit. The entire industry is modeled on artificial conflict and outrage to get listeners. It’s always going to be odious at its core, no matter what city it originates from.

Ummm ok? It’s still incredibly inappropriate for someone with no relationship to said child to call them a “pissant” on a regional radio station.

It is not a bureaucratic dodge. This is how the rules are written. This is how goverment works. And to acknowledge that Kopp tried to prevent Feinstein from moving from Acting to Interim Mayor all those years ago, in similar circumstances, is to acknowledge it is not a racist move. Sexist, maybe. But not an…

While she has voted more on the ‘progressive’ side as of recent, this was cold political calculation— it is clear the Ed Lee’s reputation was terrible, and acting as one of his lackeys (like that dipshit Scott Wiener) wasn’t going to get her re-elected as supervisor, much less as mayor.

So she essentially switched…

I believe they did this because they felt an interim mayor has an advantage over other candidates such as Feinstein and the guy who just died, Lee. Lee was interim, then voted mayor. The board noticed a not-so-fair pattern, and took steps to replace the interim who wanted to run for mayor with one who didn’t. I think…

f you read this article in a vacuum you would think the KKK is roaming the streets of San Francisco...but then you go read an actual news outlet like the New York Times and they explain the unfair advantage and conflict of having Breed running for Mayor while serving as interim mayor as well as her holding the interim…

This article is pretty damning.

Why is London Breed bad for San Francisco and Black people?

It seems like the parent who is a US citizen should have to legally adopt the twin that he has no biological connection to. I’m a gay man and a parent and I empathize with how these parents must be feeling but there seems to be a clear legal path forward that they are trying to circumvent. If his husband had an…

I does make sense though. One of those kids was not a US citizen. They dont ask straight couples because there usually isn’t sufficient cause. A man and a woman bang and out pops a kid with DNA from both, making it an american citizen. So long as the straight couple does say anything stupid (like calling the kid a…

But this most recent case might be the worst because they ran from a fight they could have won

Okay. I’m not a comfortable white liberal. My question is simple: what would you tell my friends who work in the Federal government, who said to me they could skip, maybe, one paycheck before they’d start defaulting on day care bills, mortgage payments, rent payments, and the like? Some people were forced to come in…

I have my issues w/ parts of the Democratic Party, but DACA is the dumbest hill to shutdown the government and die on. The Democratic Party has no power in the House and is the minority party in the Senate. Stopping government services/benefits and furloughing thousands of federal workers in blue states was never…

Ummm Remember The Titans is still one of my favs don’t do that.
