I called out my mother* the other day when she said she thought Warren was too angry for always finding strong, forceful women angry. That she was raised to be nice and internalized that women should be nice and deferential and when they’re forceful it makes her uncomfortable. That nice isn’t going to take down the…

The assholes in AL frame it as a states-rights issue, I assume; they act out their bigoted wet dream, claim it’s the will of the people, and then get to bitch and moan and perform outrage (plus put it on campaign materials) when their bigoted bullshit is ignored.

Simple. If conservatives want it, it's legal. If not, lock her up.

Republicans: Supporting the constitution by taking away someone’s first amendment rights!

That typo at the end secured my star.

“Porto reekins are illegal immigants and should go back to their shit-hole countries. MAGA.”

My first thought was “it’s her vagina, just say vagina.”

Wow! Yet another big storm heading to Puerto Rico. Will it ever end? Congress approved 92 Billion Dollars for Puerto Rico last year, an all time record of its kind for “anywhere.”

Yang has a point. We’re coming up on a tipping point with automation and AI technology. Pretty soon, only a fraction of our population will be required to work. What good is a job guarantee then? Do we just create busy work for them like communist Russia used to do?

Not to mention it’s kinda ableist. Not everyone is…

The Alabama Republican Party is trying to get Congresswoman Ilhan Omar expelled from Congress, which is almost too bonkers to even take seriously. [The Hill]

Zerlina Maxwell said last year that this country has a problem with women and people of color in power.

“Critics find her...” is code for a rhetorical construct created by those who fear her very strength. Warren doesn’t lack charisma; to the contrary, she’s got it in abundance, and that’s precisely why this canard is repeated constantly - to convince people that they’re not seeing the very qualities they are seeing.

I MEAN CLEARLY SHE’S OFF-PUTTING SHE DOESN’T HAVE A PENIS AND IS SPEAKING IN PUBLIC.

You zeroed in on the exact thing I saw-how does one vote with “integrity and independence” when ignoring one’s own constituents to vote in lockstep with national party leadership?

Rolled my eyes so hard I saw my own brain.

On first glance, I definitely thought James Charles was Katy Perry.

OK, just watched the video.

I started drilling into my daughter’s head from around the age of five “be self sufficient” and “never rely on other people for your food and shelter, always make your own money.” I really hope the lessons sank in.

A few months ago I started a job at the National Domestic Violence Hotline, and lod, I can’t even tell you the sense of hopelessness callers express outright despair over the resources their abusive partners have in comparison to their own (95% of these particular callers are women, and most of them had been convinced…

One of the many reasons my grandmother told me, over and over and over again that “a woman always needs to have her own money.” And the abusive assholes my mother and 2 aunts married certainly reinforced that idea. I thought getting married would mean I’d be trapped in a house with kids, with no money, slowly drinking…
