Honestly, I find the idea that sex work is inherently and uniquely exploitative ridiculous. Because under capitalism, what work isn’t exploitative? Why is it more demeaning for a woman to make money off of sex than any other form of labor?
And it really make Pelosi look like one smart cookie, It’s like she was biding her time.
I think the big difference here is
Yeah it is pretty stark from how they were acting during the Russia investigation where they knew Barr would cover everything up.
John Cornyn will act as though he’s just hearing about this for the first time, and wait to withhold judgement until we can get enough facts to determine if this is a “whistle blower” or a “leaker.”
John McCain’s ghost might reappear in the Senate for a few moments and sigh in a mildly exasperated fashion.
Mitt Romney will add that this is “probably not what I would have done in the same situation.”
Trump really needs to be careful though because the some in the GOP will only be quiet for so long.
I’m glad that we’re finally having the discussion of refining (if not actually canceling) the concept of latinidad. As a latino with browner skin and more indigenous features, and I was always frustrated by how overbroad the category of “latino” was when discussing politics, power, social life, etc.
“also idolize the Joker character, the violent clown from the Batman series, admiring his depiction as a man who must pretend to be happy, but eventually fights back against bullies.”
Oh man. That’s the sweetest thing I’ve heard all morning. Nog and Jake friends in all universes. Thank you for bringing this to my attention!
Aron hosted a podcast called 7th Rule that was all about Star Trek. His co-host was his DS9 buddy Cirroc Lofton. Aron was not just a great addition to the Trek cast of characters, he was an enthusiastic and devoted fan of the franchise. What a sad loss.
She’s 8 years older than him, which no one would even notice if the genders were reversed.

That those same people can be Jedi mind-tricked into being ok with Planned Parenthood if we just say “pap smear” enough.
“Come on, we were just having a little fun,” said every privileged white male through the ages.
The Kim v. Kourtney thing is kind of extra. I’ve had fights with my siblings, but some of that stuff is next-level attacks on someone’s characters that I’ve never done but in an extreme pique of anger.
I didn’t used to be, but the last three years have really turned me into an ardent man-hating feminist lesbian. I mean, I was a feminist and a lesbian before, but the rest of it is a consequence of watching men over the last three years.
The Center for American Progress is a “centrist” organization primarily funded by monied interests and the ThinkProgress site is one of the few productive and progressive things they have accomplished. What is called “centrism” here is right wing in every other part of the world.
Kanye did way worse than Michele ever did and folks still cape for that idiot. Folks treated what she did like she snuck up behind Shirley Chisholm, sliced her hamstrings and then sucker punched Maya Angelou in her privates.
