I just wish my friend in grade school who was Mormon and died of leukemia at 9-and-a-half had made better choices. Smh.

It’s weird, because we don’t ask for 100% certainty anywhere else. “The prospect that a seat belt would always prevent a traffic fatality is preposterous.” “The prospect that an antibiotic would always prevent a bacterial infection is preposterous.” “The prospect that education would always prevent appalling ignorance…

Well she’s assuming that all women on contraception are spreading their legs for every man that they see on any given day which would really bump the chances up.

His voice is like if a gamergater’s penis could talk.

That lady looking at him like he has the head of a seeping grub....*muah*

Dickerson gets credit not only for asking AND THEN FOLLOWING UP, but the way he asked. “But I’m asking you, because you don’t want it to be fake news. I want to hear it from President Trump” and “But I want to know your opinions. You’re the president of the United States” are such great lines that should appear in…

Howard Stern was right, the only thing Trump wants is to be liked. And it makes him SO mad that he can’t please everyone all the time. It’s why he’s still campaigning months after winning and years before he needs to campaign again.

I liked it. Let me explain why. I COMPLETELY agree with Kara that the right wing characters are hideous. This is not normal! We cannot ever accept this as our new reality. Ever. But listen - what is the solution? We can’t make them vanish with a magic wand, we’re not allowed to lock them in a fucking basement. If we…

I worry that we can’t- there’s a ton of dark money out there, and they don’t seem to have financial limits that keep them from playing in Congressional races.

Yeah, I saw one guy whose view on trans persons seemed to change and another who seemed to soften toward feminism. The other pair just seemed to agree that civil discussion is the best approach to conflict. To constantly argue that morally correct people engaging with the morally wrong opposition validates the morally…

looks pretty small to me

Every time anyone talks about how consistently Bernie disregards the concerns and needs of black voters and women, particularly black women WHO MAKE UP THE MOST RELIABLE BASE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, one of ya’ll trot out a fifty year old picture like it’s admirable that you have to go that far back in history to find…

I’m afraid we’re never going to see another Democrat have a shot at the White House unless s/he’s “fresh,” though. Experience means Fox and the Koch brothers have had a decade or so to smear them- too much of it will stick even if it’s a ridiculous exaggeration.

Cool, but free college pretty much only benefits middle and upper class white kids because the problems that lead poor students and students of color to fall behind start much, much earlier in the education system and aren’t addressed or mitigated by debt forgiveness or lowering state tuition. But like everything…

My laughs all sound like screams these days.

Or Ivanka with her sexy robe... selling stuff and charging in rubles...

I was talking to both my parents on the phone yesterday about how good the show was and I found myself instinctively saying, “You should watch it mom, I don’t know if you’d like it dad,” before realizing how much internalized misogyny I had just expressed. Literally I was trying to protect my dad from facing some of…

Maybe the point is that we as a society should aspire to conduct ourselves better than the most cruel, violent small segment of our population.

Yes people do horrible, disgusting, and evil fucking things. That doesn’t mean that the death penalty should be used especially in a system that is as racist and classist as ours and in a system that makes horrible fucking mistakes. The application of the death penalty is arbitrary, people are getting executed for…
