I went to elementary school in a small town in Utah. We sang it every. single. year. in choir. I went to middle school in a small conservative town in Illinois. We sang it there too. There was literally no getting away from it in the 80s. 

But the thing that I think a few people have brought up is that many of us who are disabled, especially with invisible disabilities, are really not going to feel comfortable asking someone to move/questioning whether or not they need those seats. Because I’ve got an invisible disability and I’ve gotten the snide…

She may have used it to further her career, but she didn’t receive scholarships. In her law school applications, she marked no for the question about applying for admission as a minority student. When she taught at University of Texas right after graduation, she was still listing herself as white. It was only 15+…

Then there’s how the Navajo and Hopi tribes have high rates of cancer and birth defects. Why? Because when companies started mining for uranium on the reservations in the 1950s, they assured the members of the tribes, who worked as miners, that no protective gear was needed in the mines. They also assured them that…

These people act like they don’t remember anything before Obama. It was only 9 years ago that we got rid of arguably one of the very worst US presidents ever. If a global recession, massive unemployment, housing market crash, two of the longest wars in our history, etc etc weren’t enough to bring in their beloved…

Either that was a common occurrence—or else we went to the same school. There was a mentally handicapped kid at my middle school, and a group of boys used to encourage him to chase the girls and grope/kiss them. The only time they sent him after me, when he grabbed me and tried to go in for a kiss, without even…

For a while, I didn’t do a pixie because I felt my face was too round. Then I realized, fuck that--it’s not like men have to go through these same bizarre rituals of figuring out what kind of haircut looks good for their face shape. So I got the pixie like I wanted and never looked back.

No one seems to have a list yet, but Terrence Dopp from Bloomberg News confirmed he was there. Speculation is that the woman in the patterned shirt and brown skirt might be Hallie Jackson from NBC.

On Rachel Maddow’s show tonight she showed results of a new Public Policy Poll--the answers from Trump voters are pretty much completely opposite of the voters of not just Clinton, but Johnson voters, Stein voters and everyone else who voted McMullin or Harambe or whoever. So on a question about how unemployment has…

And here’s what it looks like when it’s the whole country.

Similarly, with Foster Campbell’s senate race in Louisiana. It’s the last chance to pick up one more Democrat seat, and high level Democrats have been nowhere to be found in helping him out. (Although I did get two emails about it today from Democrat senators....two days before the election ends, so yay for someone…

It’s at one of Trump’s golf club in New Jersey. He seems to be doing most of his meetings with his potential cabinet there. And I imagine the press are part of his press pool that travels with the president/president-elect at all times.

Democracy Now is reporting that it was the police flares that started grass fires.

Abortion Funds Org puts together the different funds/travel assistance programs by state and you can choose the ones you want to support.

I’m in the same district as you. When I called Wyden’s and Blumenauer’s offices (Merkley had already released his statement early AM, but the other two didn’t put out theirs until much later in the day), the staffers said that they weren’t aware if Wyden/Blumenauer had any plans to condemn Bannon’s appointment. I’m…

I’ve seen a few lawyers saying that his Trump University trials, with fraud and racketeering charges, could already be grounds for impeachment.

He’s said that he’s talking to a few universities about having a kind of Biden center for think tank/research stuff. And that he wants to keep building on the cancer moonshot program that was started this year and that he’ll always be involved in cancer research.

That clip doesn’t have it, but at the end of that speech, she says “and that’s why I’m with her.”

A TargetSmart/William & Mary poll of Florida early voters says that 28% of registered Republicans have voted for Clinton (in the last few elections, the highest defection of FL Republicans to a Democrat presidential candidate was 9%). The poll also has her leading by 55% among those who have already voted. If Trump…

It sounds like the emails weren’t sent by Huma either; but rather these were all emails sent to HRC from other people. According to MSNBC, some of the emails sent to HRC would be printed out, and it was Huma’s job to do that. Apparently sometimes Huma would forward them from HRC’s state email account to Huma’s own…
