We’re also so blinded by privilege to see that the gains that benefited white women did not benefit women of color. And if we can see it, we don’t care. It’s too comfortable right now to care about other people.

I grew up in Mississippi and this is accurate. NOTHING I did or said broke my mother’s heart more than me being pro-choice. I distinctly remember her saying she failed as a mother and a Christian woman.

The issue that democrats need to understand though - if they changed their platform and became the party of 100% prohibition no abortions for anyone - the republican purse strings would simply move the goalpost.

I’m pretty sure the white woman GOP voters in my family (Alabamans) vote 100% only based on abortion. They will never vote for someone who admits to being pro-choice. For real. That and they are stealth racists who don’t care about equality. It’s like beating your head against a wall to convince them anything other…

Considering that Alabama voted for Trump by 30% last Nov, what we’re really looking at here is an unprecedented 31% voter shift. We should all be throwing down money for the mobilizers to teach us HOW on earth. And they should just take over party admin as far as I’m concerned.

The last tally I saw showed nearly 20k write in votes. Presumably these were Rs that couldn’t stomach Moore. Had they voted for party, the outcome might have been different.

The GOP actually did that in 2012 - the “autopsy” of Romney’s failure basically said they had to play to women and minorities, among other groups to survive long term. I mean look at this TPM article on the findings - do immigration reform, listen to minorities, reach out to gay people, open the party to other…

Hi ho Silverstein, away!

come on, please for the love of JC someone tell me a loud “Fuck You and the horse you rode in on ...” was heard throughout the land ...

Because she thinks that adding the bit about their lawyer being “a Jew” makes them open minded and accepting. Like, “Look, we have this jew on our payroll! We can’t be that bad, right?!” So if we have “A Jew” in our lives, we must be good people, because it is natural to hate jews, yet we tolerate one.

I’ve seen lying like that. In fact, I’ve lied like that: cruelly, prolifically, and all to keep a desperate grasp on what little power I had.

Of course, I was seven and lying to my little sister about the tv malfunctioning so she’d play Barbies with me even though she didn’t want to.

In its third-quarter results, released at the beginning of this month, The New York Times Company (NYSE:NYT) reported a 14% increase in overall subscription revenue, which was propelled by a nearly 60% rise in digital-only subscribers over the prior-year quarter. It’s no secret that surging interest in the Times’…

I will also not take off my clothes for an empty cause.

Why, what’s a washed up 90's band gonna do?

That’s exactly what the media does. The entire area is covered with media figures taking pictures and interviewing.

And in that moment I realized that majority of woman probably wake up every morning trying to fit in a stereotype that society/socialmedia/fashion etc imposed

And now it’s on news sites and gossip mags all over. One might say she’s simply been efficient here.

As a Jew and non Zionist, I’ve seen my fair share fair of anti Semitism disguised as anti Israel (or anti Zionist) sentiment, though. Hell, plenty of people just blame “the Jews” outright for Israel. So yeah...plenty of us have enjoyed some effed up shit from “leftists.”

I tried using them for a business trip once. They emailed me at around 4:00 p.m. on the afternoon prior to the next day’s 7:00 a.m. departure to inform me that my flight has been “delayed or cancelled.” Mind you, this was after they had billed my credit card twice for the flight and claimed that they did not, but I…
