It seems to me Mr. Erickson should have been squeezing a penny between his knees.

They’re complicit in the ongoing destruction of whatever social progress has been made in this country in a number of different arenas over the course of the last two centuries, and in the continued promulgation of a series of laws, regulation, and policies that militate that people of color and other marginalized…

Fuck “justice”—this is the minimum decent thing to argue for, and is something that can be done by individuals and effectively enacted over time.

Why would the powerful promulgate a system that would systematically check their excesses or the suffering and privation they inflict on those beneath them?

At the same time we should acknowledge that it wasn’t revenge porn that took her job it was a society that penalizes sexually and demonizes women’s bodies.

Your daily reminder that the United States does NOT have a justice system.

Yeah, mistook her birthplace for where she works/reps.

Mistook her birthplace for where she lives/reps. My bad.

Totally mistook her place of birth with where she works. Mea culpa.

You’re right of course. I looked her up and mistook her birthplace with her constituency/place of residence.

And soldiers, marines, sailors, Airmen, assorted Federal LEOs. These are the first dudes to jump up and quote the old “the tree of liberty” schpeel.

Oof, Missouri is an open-carry state too... this shit is just going to be tense and scary for Maxine Waters. I wonder how Mitch McConnell would feel if a group of black gun owners (with the proper permits—all on the up and up) in tactical gear started protesting outside of his house while brandishing assault rifles.

Does it or does it not move the ball down the field towards greater normalization of breast feeding in public? If it does—this is a good thing.

Certainly I agree that the relevant numbers bear out that there is a dearth of female representation in the STEM industry—I just couldn’t tell from your statement whether there was something in the way of employment data, surveys, etc., that would support the idea that, in reality (i.e., setting aside what should…

This person you dismissed as unintelligible and being on drugs responded to my question and provided a link which ostensibly (I mean, per her) backs her statement. I don’t necessarily agree with her ultimate conclusion, even having looked at that source, but yeah, this was a perfectly unremarkable exchange of…

I’m not a woman, and I’m not in STEM. I legit just wanted to know what prompted your statement. Thank you for the link.

Shit, I would take an uncited explanation or rationale for the statement being made in the first place. It just seems so incongruous to me.

I’d be happy with a link to an article that says this even might  be happening. AnnNova made a fact statement that (to me) looks pretty unbelievable. That means it’s either flim flam, or I’m woefully uninformed about something very important happening in our society. This isn’t a big ask.

For some people, the various ex-girlfriends, romantic/personal and professional associates, his wife, etc. coming out to defend his character are plenty; for others, nothing short of Dykstra recanting will suffice. I don’t know what evidence Dykstra claims to have, but saying she has evidence to substantiate her…

[I]f Hardwick really is truly innocent, there are libel laws that protect him.
