I think that Abrams is a good candidate and I have watched her in interviews and listened to that recent debate with Evans and really do see her as being a much better politician and campaigner that Evans.
OTOH, people have been taking diazepam for like 40 years and it doesn’t seem to have had a part in other mass shootings. Has it? The Columbine shooters were on Prozac, not Valium, IIRC.
When a white person brings up “black on black crime” that is code for “I do not like black people and I think that they are deserving of violence because they have brought it on themselves”.
The minimal amount of air that is “recirculated” goes through HEPA filtration. If she is really that allergic to dogs, she should be carrying her own EpiPen considering dogs are everywhere.
It doesn’t say specifically, but I think from reading accounts of the situation that it’s possible they did try to seat her further away from the dogs. The guy who shot the video said the flight crew tried to work with her and it is their policy to move seats if a passenger is allergic to pets.
From your doctor. And if you are allergic to latex then you should wear a medic alert bracelet too, if you are in an accident and need medical treatment then the first responders need to know to use latex alternative gloves and to not use latex gear.

As a progressive I have serious problems with Democratic leadership, but you have to know who your friends are, and they are not in the Republican Party which is dismantling every thing Dems ever did for people of color, gays, women, the poor and the disabled. Disagreeing with the direction of the party is one thing.…
Except it comes across as using gayness to embarrass someone. You can make fun of the murderer, you don’t need to harm gay people to do that. And using homosexuality as a perjorative is harming them.
From your article:
No, you fucking idiot. It is unconstitutional. The entire decision was written based on the fact that it was understood to be unconstitutional. The reason it wasn’t ruled on is because they couldn’t decide how to define and measure extreme political gerrymandering. Hence the nonjusticiable claim rather than an actual…
Do you know why I remain a Patriots fan Drew? Because of my father. I lived in Maine my entire childhood and teenage years. I remember the shit years, the years where Velcro on the gloves wouldn’t have helped the receivers make catches. For years we were the butts of the NFL. Then suddenly Mo Lewis knocks out Bledsoe…
