“There’s only one Mother!!!”

the problem is that mothers are also women. very confusing. mothers who are women who are single? mothers who are women who are single who are working? what am i supposed to think about that?!

Did you actually watch the performance? He’s a classically trained dancer who just did amazingness

Totally agree. And not just students - lots of studies have shown that just giving people money is much more effective and efficient than complicated programs that have to be administered and monitored.

I completely get Amy on this. I worked in the service industry and I’ve also been suuuuper poor. I’m rich now, not like Amy rich, but I can pay all my bills, go out to eat, and still put money in savings every month rich (so solidly middle class). I’m a generous tipper. I’ve been known to leave a $50 tip on a $30…

My stepdaughter just had prom- I was mostly surprised by how all of the girls wore super short tight dresses- not what I would imagine to be prom like. She goes to a catholic school and they had no issues or requirements so I guess it greatly varies by area. All the girls also wore belly baring dresses to homecoming…

Pierogi.

As a Tar Heel, I have to point out that you linked a recipe from a Chapel Hill restaurant for “shrimp and grits in South Carolina.”

In somewhat good news, most experts reviewing the Antiquities Act believe that there is little he can do to recind monuments designated under the act. That is the whole point of it. Even with all the crying here in Utah (I’m a Utahn) of ‘this is an abuse’ and also, ‘wah wah wah’ because all they want is to use the…

the way he speaks to her about money is so so so gross. at the reunion they were fighting like a couple that has already broken up. it’s so weird

Yes. Sell single-payer as a tax cut for business.

I’m interested to know if Americans have a proper network in place to deal with this kind of thing. I’m from Northern Ireland where abortion has always been illegal and we have organised ourselves to make sure that every woman in need can get an abortion. It’s not the ideal way but it’s invaluable. Your Irish sisters…

Mr. Ellison, here is an important piece of trivia: Frances Perkins bore witness to the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. She was across the street when the fire broke out, and watched the women jump to their deaths from upper floor windows, because the exits were locked. It was a formative moment in her life.

Rep. Ellison, I’d just like to thank you for handling your defeat to Tom Perez with so much grace. As a Mainer, I’ve never had the chance to vote for you. But I would sincerely like the chance.

When will white people address their culture of violence?

How was he radicalized? Where was he praying? Why didn’t neighbors report him?

My sister is at home a lot right now, and she’s confirmed that, yes, a few minutes before I usually get home from work, my cat climbs out of wherever he’s been napping and goes to wait by the door for me. It fills me with joy every day.
