Woman unable to find salad to smile at.

The only thing missing is her Louboutin-shod hoof on a Black child’s neck.

Eating American tax dollars on gold plates.

Where the fuck is Melania anyways, is she hiding w/ Shelly Miscavige?

Not to downplay the racism angle, but schools are also shitty in general at dealing with verbal threats and harassment. You can be bullied for months and they won’t do anything, but punch your tormentor and suddenly you’re the bad guy.

And then in the evenings make them watch civil rights documentaries.

Let them work in the fields of Alabama during summer break. That will give them a newfound appreciation of the contributions from the immigrants that work those fields for lousy pay today.

Three day suspension?!?! The fuck? Kick them out for the year and make them repeat or take summer school at least.

Don’t forget that insurance companies can’t discriminate against those with pre-existing conditions....unless you let your coverage lapse for any period of time. Then you pay a large penalty. So, you’d have to pay the outrageous COBRA rates and/or get private insurance, while you’re unemployed. That will learn ya’…

Cliff Notes version:

I would have been fired if I went on strike on Weds, so I wanted to thank all of you who were able to participate and did. The women at my job were all very quietly cheering for you, and you inspired us to find our own, tiny ways to resist.

Yes, the ability to take off work and protest is a privilege. Just like being white, being straight, being a man, etc, are all privileges. And like those, you can use your privilege to try and help others by acknowledging this and acting on it, by say, striking or protesting. Not only is there nothing wrong with this,…

I think a lot of these people who criticized the strike demonstrated how US-centric their perspectives are. There’s this assumption that the people who came up with it were all middle- and upper-class women, largely white. But as as Jezebel’s great post on Latin American feminism mentioned, the idea for the…

Here’s how it would have played out for me: “Oh, I didn’t see you ma’am, take my seat. When are you due? From the looks of it, any day now!”

The MTA effing says give up your seat to an elderly or disabled person. It should be alright to ask, because it’s more embarrassing to say no.

Yeesh.

Get caught with a little weed if you’re black/brown and you can get 10-15; rape and impregnate a girl and be a white police officer and get “at least 12 years” while still trying to contact her from prison. White. Supremacy.

A trial would have required the girl to testify. And given his continuing behavior toward her, I can see why no one wanted that.

Just statutory rape, eh? 51 year old and 13 year old? There are some thing we shouldn’t allow plea deals for. This is one of them.
