I’m the product of public schools. I attended public schools in Delaware for my entire K-12 education. My graduation came just as state testing was really beginning to ramp up; I was the shitty nerd that didn’t respond to the state writing prompt, and instead wrote about how I’d rather be in English class. After that,…

My hometown public school’s are the stuff Rick Santorum’s nightmares are made of. We read A People’s History of the United States in high school and had to take a year of civics to graduate. Evolution and climate change were taught as facts, not controversies. Slavery, the genocide of Native Americans and the…

I have always loved writing. I’ve never really done a goddamn thing with it, but I’ve always loved it.

Public education has benefited me by allowing me to live in a society composed largely of people who’ve been given a basic education. No one has burned me or anyone I know alive for being a witch or sorcerer, or killed me to ensure a good harvest. When I’m sick, I can go and see a doctor instead of a shaman or priest.…

Well it shows me she has no fucking clue on how government works.

Public Schools benefitted me by making me smart enough to not vote for Trump.

So can we get a Satanic Temple School system going on then?

God, if I see one more picture of a room full of white men talking about policies that will most likely affect black and brown people I am going to lose it.

While a good portion of the country is perfectly fine sitting at Lawful-Neutral, there are far too many people with money willing to play Chaotic-Evil.

So, I’m not sure how many other Michiganders are here. But as a Grand Rapids native, I am absolutely dismayed. Not surprised, just dismayed.

There were about 20-25 different R senators who probably would have been willing to be the 49th & 50th vote. But the 51st? That was never going to happen.

Easy there champ. Maybe sit the next couple plays out.

Also let it serve as a reminder to anyone who touts Graham and McCain as reasonable moderate republicans: no they’re not. They are cut from the same shit bag cloth as the rest of their ilk. Fuck them, fuck people who defend them and fuck the rest of their party for mortgaging the future of the entire United States in…

Mike Pence is pretty much the defecto leader of the American Taliban. Her blonde hair helmet is essentially the burqa of rich, white women.

Mike Pence can go fuck himself. Ditto for all who endorsed her.

Let’s put this in perspective:

So obviously the GOP got together and said something along the lines of “a LOT of our constituents are very much against DeVos, but we can’t risk displeasing our orange leader just yet. So let’s let the 2 senators whose bases are the most pissed cast token ‘no’ votes, since we can afford that knowing that Pence is the…

All of my exes must be THRIVING in life right now.

Dude can’t turn on the lights. He’s not nuking anything.
