Seriously, I only just found out and I’m still trying to absorb the shock that I can never use that emoji anymore.

Why did they ruin the “OK” hand sign?? What the hell. That doesn’t make any sense. If they started claiming “waving” or “thumbs up” or flipping the bird as a sign of White Power we’d laugh and say “nice try, idjits” and go along our merry way. Why are we letting them have the OK sign?

A friend of mine graduated from university last year and wore his kente cloth with his gown. He’s a mechanical engineer and a baptist preacher. The idea that this would be done to a high school student is outrageous.

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a person in possession of good receipts is delivering a read, not shade.”

The only mistake Obama made with that executive order was in not banning mandatory arbitration for all federal contracting companies, not just in cases of sexual harassment. Mandatory arbitration is terrible.

There are clinics in southern Illinois. Just fyi in case you or a friend need one. Shorter drive for many.

Yes--there’s a National Network of Abortion Funds here, that helps connect women with funds in their state or area. Some, in addition to covering the cost of the procedure, will also help with other costs (like transportation) to those that need help.

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…

This is definitely true. But there’s always been a glut of shitty private attorneys who prey on vulnerable immigrant populations. The worst part is that they’re often members of the community themselves, which get them involved. When I was still doing direct representation, I would sometimes talk to clients who had…

“has launched a targeted operation in South and Central Texas as part of Operation Cross Check.”

Now that President Obama has moved on, it’s actually nice to see the new leader of the free world sitting in the Oval Office, and also Donald Trump.

Yes, you fucking jackass. That’s EXACTLY what I’m saying.

My half-black son was born Sept 5th, here in Kansas City, while those protests raged across the state. Because the AA communities in StL and KC are so intertwined I actually am friends with one of Micheal Brown’s cousins, and not thru my husband.

Speaking of kids destroying what should have been serious moments, this happened earlier today on BBC. (Anchor interviews professor about the newly impeached South Korean president.)

How can we help?

What the entire fuck did I just watch???? That is a child he is manhandling over nothing!! And then he pulls his gun put because people are rightfully trying to get him off the kid?? And shoots it?????? I’m fucking livid! Administrative leave my ass he should be in jail!

I teach philosophy. You get an A+ in trolley problems for the day.

You voted responsibly. I voted for Bernie in my primary but, like you, another adult, I put my big boy pants on for the election because I saw Trump’s fascism coming from a mile away.

I think it’s becoming more and more clear that Trump colluded with the Russians to throw the election in return for him lifting sanctions on Russia for invading Ukraine (and whatever else they do in the future).
