To me, this is the most unsettling part:

It’s also the “we’re going to walk out of here and you’re going to look like I didn’t just hit you so hard you fell down the stairs” victim-controlling dynamic.

The most unsettling part is how quickly he turns to assisting her. Picking up her purse, attempting to put her glasses back on. It’s that sort of, “I’m so nice, why do you make me do this?” behavior. The power dynamic of abusers is absolutely chilling.

I have no idea why, but something about the way he keeps putting the glasses he just punched off her face back on her is as deeply disturbing as the actual physical violence, like it’s some extension of a need for control or the like.

I can only speak to my experience working almost exclusively in Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) departments. The BIE is under the BIA, of course. One dynamic that the report from High Country News does not explicitly state is that in many cases, the administrators are non-Indigenous, with the rank and file being…

This! Elect actual liberals in places they can win, and elect more moderate democrats in places where actual liberals cannot win.

This. I think getting the more conservative areas used to the idea that center-left (or just center) Democrats can be effective leaders in their areas means that, down the road, we could shift more geography blue.

I’m all for a move for more progressive candidates in the Dems - but we also have to at least pay lip…

Conservative Democrats getting elected in conservative districts where previously there were ultra-conservative (or just radical) Republicans is still a win. Voting with you sometimes is better than voting with you never.

She had quite a few successful credits to her name- he pretty much only had one and was in desperate need of a successful relaunch to shake off the Dr. Who typecasting. She had pedigree playing period pieces and being successful at them, he didn’t. She is the lead, he is not. Even if they thought that millions of…

That’s something people claim about genre shows that has absolutely zero basis in reality. If it were true genre actors would be a lot more successful after their shows end. But, in reality, fans are far more likely to want actors to always be their favorite characters than actually follow them to every new show.

NOPE! If she works more given that she is the focus of the show she should be paid more even if she is unknown. This is what equal pay for equal work means.

Bull shit. She is the star of the show. And Doctor Who was hardly a ratings juggernaut at that point.

Supporting role vs. starring role doesn’t factor into your equation at all? Especially after the first season, her winning the Emmy, and cleaning the floor with him in their scenes together?

The House had 8 investigations in Benghazi. They only did one on Trump and Russia and found nothing.

I am a bit surprised that anyone would expect Amy Schumer to change her name.

How many committees and investigations did we have into Hilary’s goddamn emails?

Tillerson speaks out against Russia in the poisoning of the British spy. Tillerson is out of the job 24 hours later. And the new chief diplomat of the United States is the former chief spy of the United States.

Because many Mexican-American girls would enjoy playing “brilliant Mexican Woman Artist” the same way generations of WASPy girls had tea parties and ‘overnights’ with lilly white Barbie?

I would be overwhelmed if I tried to count how many friends and friends of friends on my FB have posted and/or commented on posts stating how fucked up this is and how Mattel should be ashamed of themselves and redesign the doll. I personally think they should include a wheel chair and darken her skin tone, as they I…

For those that don’t understand the big deal about her unibrow: She made a huge point in purposefully emphasizing her facial hair because she despised western beauty standards. Erasing that is erasing a large and very important part of who Frida was, as a person.

It’s also kind of crappy they’re completely ignoring the…
