Amy is a cop.

From Pope to parishioner, the Catholic Church has perfected that “protect the institution at all costs” mentality. They’re right up there with the Pentagon in that respect. When the institution becomes more valuable than the individual, you always have abuse of some kind. Always. I don’t know how you get through…

Reading comprehension? Even Kobe acknowledged she didn’t believe she gave consent, then she didn’t give consent. That’s one of the things he admitted! It’s a murky thing to work through, but rape is something he admitted to. Consent is the line in the sand.

I had an aggressively catholic co-worker comment during the “ground zero mosque” nonsense that, “Well, you could build a mosque there, but should you, respecting the history?”. He stfu when I responded, “Well, you could build catholic churches in communities with children, but should you...”

“Too soon” means “never”.

Strawman, who doesn’t know who he’s responding to says what?

Imagine writing about slavery, getting feedback and ignoring it

She’s not being “taken down.” She’s received millions of dollars for this. The book is in line to be adapted for a movie. She will probably have any project she wants greenlit thanks to this book, which will certainly be a bestseller. What is actually happening is people are criticizing her. Which, you know, everyone…

She legit said in an interview a few years ago she considers herself completely white and not qualified to write stories about POC. (And her book shows it). There are so many books by POC about their experiences of POC that get completely ignored and don't get 7 figure salaries. Publishing industry made a CHOICE to…

Especially since they didn’t need to be so enthusiastic about it. A spokesperson releasing a quick “thanks for that” would have sufficiently acknowledged that without making marginalised people feeling (once again) thrown under the bus.

Who is arguing for that?

Again, eff Drumph, but, I know people who work at hospitals (not california though) where this is a problem and yes, they do stiff the hospitals after loading up on all the stuff intended for the poorer people when they leave (formula, diapers and the like). Being here on vacation vs being a resident for birthright…

The desperate vulnerable people they prey on are the immigrants they staff these facilities with. And those terrible conditions have caused the caregivers to snap, resulting in death.

Yes. She was also suicidal. She also had a fucked up history. She is no cult controlling Mean Girl that worked to weed out someone more basic just for her gratification.  She had already talked Conrad out of suicide and self-injury other times.  The whole story is sad and just screams at the failure of mental health…

These are the types of cases that prison abolition/reform types lose support over, because there really isn’t any reason to lock her up except for retribution. It isn’t going to deter anybody from the same crime, and unless you want to play armchair psychologist and finger her as a future mass killer over some really…

I can’t fault her for when the system actually works in trying to rehabilitate, just sucks it doesn’t work for anybody that isn’t white.

For what it’s worth, in context it’s clear that Clinton says that the Republicans are grooming Gabbard to be a third-party candidate. Not the Russians. I don’t know if that makes a difference to Tulsi’s lawsuit, but it makes a difference to the accuracy of this article.

This is not a privacy case. This is an equal protection case. It’s contrary to equal protection to punish conduct committed by a woman when the same conduct is committed by a man is not illegal.

I also have a story about two celebrities who’s worst encounter was each other. I was at a charity function being held a Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump’s golf/country club in Palm Beach. It a common practice to invite the Trumps and any of their guest to the charity parties. They usually decline and make a donation (which…

Oh, my favorite one!
