Sure they are! But an impediment to many people participating in resistance is their fear that they will cross some invisible tribal border; that opposing this means agreeing with or aligning with everything and everyone else that opposes it. That if they oppose something being done by tribal conservatives, that means…

Yes thank you that is obviously the right answer. I feel foolish leaving that off. E. SHUT IT DOWN FOR THE SAME HOUR.

Feinstein is a goddamn dumpster fire who has gone along with almost EVERYTHING Trumpian. Fuck her.

MORE OF THIS.

“Some of the conversations will be uncomfortable; some of your friends and relatives and neighbors will not want to be bothered or will look at you in your fervor and see a sweaty earnestness they find off-putting for reasons they cannot quite pin down.”

Those bills mean nothing to me when I see this.

Yes. Everything that’s gone on in the first week of this presidency, from the seemingly trivial like lying about crowd size, to the major, like sparking a humanitarian crisis, ought to scare everyone who sees any value in American democracy and professes any fealty to American ideals. It is astonishing the speed with…

The Dems should still primary Feinstein. Even if she belatedly develops a spine in the next year. She’s emblematic of the slow death of the party.

Honestly, I never had a problem with Bjorn. Was a super nice guy in person. Ate lunch and dinner with him and hung out with him multiple times while with Bellator, his end of tenure happened while I was with them. Say what you will about how he handled the Alvarez situation, he did seem more interested in creating…

All white women certainly aren’t the enemy but it’s exceedingly easy to lose sight of this fact when even the progressive white women, who should know better, are so often identical to their conservative peers.

The boss who loves you. The teacher at your kid’s school. And it’s the extended network of those people who didn’t vote for Trump, but didn’t…

The type of person inclined to work for Uber is probably not inclined to join a union

Good deal. I’ve worked with some damn good JIWs out of 60. When you get on a job and find out what your apprentice work consists of do it everyday without being told and anytime there is shitty work that nobody wants to do volunteer for it. Old school will go out of their way to teach you their trade if you do those…

I’m a top 10 NFL QB. I think unions suck and we need to make America great again. I have more to say but I have to be anonymous. My wife would kill me and I have a game coming up.

The only response I can think is to my fellow white ladies:

Professional fighter for 10 years. Fought on Bellator for a few years. Teammates fought in the UFC. That “independent contractor” status hurts when negotiating time comes.

Toothless independent contractor statutes aren’t likely to change with Linda McMahon on the cabinet. The McMahons got rich running one of the country’s more successful independent contractor scams.
