Thank you, honey. It’s the first time I’ve had this much time dope-free in the two years since I started heroin. Methadone is a godsend.

He’s not expecting a response. He’s just using this forum to vent his spleen about Hillary being elected to lead the Democrats. And using the same old “Blame Hillary for Iraq” bullshit that the right wing uses. Fuck him.

Your first sentence has me crying laughing. So true.

YES

Agreed. Every speech has hit home that Clinton is a million times more qualified than Trump for the job. It’s frankly insulting that they are even in the same competition.

One commenter just asked me for a full citation to prove Clinton wants to overturn Citizens United. It took me two seconds to google and I replied with the link. But if I hadn’t, the person couldn’t have taken the two seconds to look it up themselves and would still be convinced Clinton didn’t say anything about it.

That’s why we need to work on getting a progressive congress elected as well!

I wonder if “flag pin” (I’m hesitent to correlate it 1 to 1 with “I love my country”) is a given for people who are willing to work within the court system.

Diversity does not mean you can never hire white people. It means you’re combing the field to represent a wide variety of candidates. Even Sam Bee’s Full Frontal, which is mentioned as a diverse writers room and Sam Bee has been upfront about their focus on diversity while hiring has FOUR white men writing for them.…

Yeah even though I CANNOT STAND the sympathetic “you go girl” type smiles I get from thin people in the gym, I will take that any day over the week over this kind of cruelty. I wish I could be invisible in public.

Can I say how happy it makes me that this is a diverse squad? It’s always good when my kid can watch gymnastics and see someone like her. She commented how Laurie is a gymnast (like my kid is) and they have the same kind of hair.

I was serious - I hadn’t associated the ‘totally fucked’ state with an improvement over ‘intentionally unaware’. Can’t get change until you can identify a problem. That’s a great point.

I just wanted to let you know, that if you don’t understand something, or have no background in why something is happening, you always have the option to say nothing about it and move right along with your day. I think that would benefit everyone.

THANK YOU.

I’m crying, too.

I have an uncle who is schizophrenic. In the mid 90s, he was arrested for attacking a repo man with a cricket bat. He left that poor man with serious, life changing injuries. My grandparents were asked to write a letter to the judge to help his defense and they wrestled with what to write.

Because EMAILS! VINCE FOSTER! GOLDMAN SACHS!

I fucking hate the way that the “white girl” meme has morphed from a tool for women of color to talk about white women’s complicity in white supremacist systems into a way for people to spew gross misogyny under the guise of calling out racial privilege.

If he makes an eloquent inspiring speech after the DC primary is called on Tuesday night in which he ultimately concedes to Clinton but also talks about how his supporters can continue to support progressive causes and work within the democratic party (not against it) then he will have done a wonderful thing.

Ultimately, I voted for Hillary, but I love Bernie and I love what he did for this primary and country. I’ve begrudged him almost nothing in terms of “it’s probably not going to happen but that’s not the point”... But this is pushing my limits.
