Yes. Prison conditions are uniformly fucking terrible. They are often worse for black inmates, but prison reform should be a universal cause.

Um. This was rape. Nothing any lawyer says can make that not true, it is clear cut. Secondly, of course it was racially motivated, because who the fuck knows what a “Ku Klux Klan” song is? Third, yes, he was targeted for being “vulnerable” and that vulnerability is intersectional: he is both black and disabled. Black…

We are as fucked as we allow ourselves to be in this sense at least. We hav to keep on this constantly and let our Reps. and Senators know this isn’t right and we will not stand for it. Also, blue states get in contact with your governor and get then to pull a Jerry Brown and say fuck this-we’re competent and are not…

Welp. Here we go. Time to find out if our democracy is really as resistant to demagoguery as we all believed.

These motherfuckers. Pro-life my ass.

Omggggg look at this:

True story. I think perseverating over Trump’s *haha* minor fails is like taking a break from a dense textbook to read a stupid gossip mag. A little light junk food fare for the mind to keep it from exploding.

V for Vendetta is brilliant and powerful, and Hugo Weaving deserved an Oscar for his performance in that film. I’d be curious to see what films you think are “good,” given you don’t like V for Vendetta.

What kind of smarmy ass men are these that they’ve competed in the sport for likely ten-fifteen odd years and they STILL haven’t gotten it through their heads that NOT A SINGLE WOMAN ON THAT TEAM SHOWS UP TO SHOW OFF HER BODY FOR THEM.

Correct. It isn’t “good,” it’s “great” and “a movie that all Americans should be watching right now.”

crazy how “good” is subjective amirite

Ugh, I am so sorry you’re going through super hell. Any *1* of those situations you described could knock someone for a loop, let alone getting hit with a sucker punch of everything at once. I’ve been suffering from severe, paralyzing depression for more than 10 years, & while my situation isn’t as dire as yours, I…

WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS, TOGETHER.

While I do think the Clinton campaign made some missteps, a bigger issue was that the polling in states was so off. There wasn’t a single credible poll in Wisconsin or Michigan that showed Trump winning. Marquette (the gold standard in WI), for example, had Clinton up by six in its final poll. In Michigan, Clinton…

look how can we blame the campaign when there haven’t been any contemporary examples of extraordinarily run campaigns that leaned heavily on ground game, grassroots tactics

Allow me to mansplain: on Tinder he wouldn’t be able to hedge rejection with the woman’s fear or threat of getting a traffic ticket... On Tinder women have the right to reject someone with little consequence and that’s just not fair to him!!!!

Union contract. If the cop was involved in a use of force that falls within their duties, they will be suspended with pay (a few places require the cop to pay back the money if the use of force was deemed unjustified, but most don’t).

the greatest trick the billionaire ever pulled was convincing the hundredaire he actually cared.
