If they get this to stick, birth control and tubal ligations are next, given how many of the “pro-life” nutjobs insist they aldo murder babies. If they could think of a way to make antibiotics to treat STDs difficult and expensive for women to obtain while keeping them cheap and plentiful for men, they’d do that too.…

Florida: hold my beer.

Former President Obama will return to national politics this fall because, let’s be honest, Democrats still haven’t gotten their sht together. [The Hill]

Yeah but you can’t tell what’s in those handles and poles. Could be really tiny terrorists!

Literally a Margaret Atwood quote come to life.

Being black automatically qualifies you to a life of multiple police interactions, weather you have done wrong or not.
I’ve been pulled over multiple times, never gotten a ticket, probably for being black and having a shaved head in the wrong neighborhood.
does that make me look less innocent? Yeah sure I guess, but…

Look at the words you are using. A traffic violation is a wrap sheet now?
What if it turns out that Diamond has a bunch of traffic violations as well? Has anyone even dug into her past? Oh, no? Is it because she’s white?
What other excuses and coded words will you throw at this?

Do you know ANYONE that was pulled over 52 times for legit purposes and kept their license? <- ANSWER THAT QUESTION before you reply to me...if your answer is yes, I’ll back down. Most likely the answer is no. No one gets pulled over that many times for actual reasons and keeps their license. Phillando was targeted…

Wait so having a broken tail light is a fucking DEATH SENTENCE now? are you joking?

Ugh. I found out yesterday that my interim supervisor at work has thoughts about my attendance at work. Instead of coming straight to me about it, she’s sending emails like this one to random people in the agency, who have no business knowing about my health/situation:

Because banning substances has worked so well in the past and continues to work swimmingly today.

“Hey, Bridge-Fucker!”

We are fine with sending teens out to war to handle weapons and well armed enemies. We allow teens to vote in elections, helping to decide the most powerful office on the planet. But God forbid they have a smoke, that’s a bridge too far.

I’m right there with you. I went back to school a couple years ago (I’m 32), and at first I happily didn’t feel that much older than the kids 10 years younger than me. Until they said they were in first grade on 9/11 and they didn’t really remember that day. I went from the fun older sister to the ancient gnarled…

Yes, that is true. The Triangle Shirt Factory in New York City seems to be not only a commercial sin but forgotten mostly. This is newer.

This is hurting the women, though.

Unfortunately that has very real fucking consequences for those of us who are 51% of the population. And the percentage of us who are women of color, trans women, etc., have even more to fucking worry about.

I understand the Republicans’ feelings here. They certainly would never do anything so disrespectful like interrupt an important event involving one of our leaders.

LOOOOOVVVVE all the comments about much gender reveal parties are lame.
