I recently learned about some puppet called Jeffrey on YouTube. A friend who also has a five-year-old son (like me) told me about this Jeffrey using the n-word throughout his videos. This is on YouTube Kids. I blocked that shit as soon as I got home. I am trying my hardest to raise a progressive white man in the…

I am a person who has always said I would stand behind my son no matter what. (Disclosure, he is five-years-old). He could be a damn serial killer, but I would still defend him. I didn’t think there was anything that would make me turn my back on him. THEN I SAW THIS! If my son was a Nazi, white supremacist piece of…

Exceptions to almost every rule. In civil litigation, the designated corporate rep can sit with counsel throughout the entire trial, even if testifying. Same goes for the lead investigator in a criminal case, in certain jurisdictions.

Except Oliver is witty and has an English accent. I will take those two things over the money Mnuchin has any day of the week.

Nationwide background checks and a national gun registry. Ban high capacity magazines, assault rifles, armor piercing bullets, tracer bullets, bump stocks. Make bullets more expensive. Close the gun show loophole. Require people who have guns to also buy liability insurance (similar to what we do with a damn car).…

That dog is not fat. That is the body type of a pug. I constantly have my parents telling me my pug is too heavy, but the vet says she is fairly small for a pug.

Thank you! Being married to a Scottish man, it is very hard to imagine this woman saying this shit with a typical Scottish accent. It just didn’t compute in my brain. Now I realize it wouldn’t be the Scottish accent I am used to.

My parents had a similar priest at their Church. Apparently the sermon against materialism in their upper middle class neighborhood pissed a lot of people off. He was reassigned.

My five-year-old saw the local news discussing this. He looked at me and said, “Mommy, there is a warning and danger sticker on those. Why are those people eating them? Yuck!” So, my five-year-old has more commonsense that these teenagers (and the current POTUS).

Exactly. FUCK POLITENESS. This is my lock scree in my phone. I am always explaining what it means and the podcast (MFM) which created it. Trust your gut. Don’t worry about being polite or not offending someone. Protect yourself. This is not victim blaming. This is empowerment!

As a fellow Texas who graduated high school in 1997, I fear the answer is that they did change.

No, this born and raised Texan HATES this damn flag. I would never have one in my home or in my possession. I am actually antagonistic to the assholes with the “Heritage Not Hate” bumper stickers.

He is. This is a plead bargain. Other charges could have been brought but were not because Flynn agreed to cooperate and plead guilty to this one charge in exchange for no other charges being brought and Mueller not going after his son.

Will you accept some of us as refugees from Cheetolini’s reign? Look, not all of us are crazy. This Yank loves hockey, is married to Scot, and also knows American law.

We are trying.

Also in Texas: I have a “We Will Rise” and “Courage Not Courtesy” stickers on my Forester. As my baby brother said, keep the stickers’ language where it requires the reader to be informed before being offended. That pretty much keeps my car safe.

There are plenty of Progressives in the cities in Texas. We look around, and we don’t understand how this state was taken over by the GOP. Then we remember, gerrymandering. So, before you are willing to toss all of us aside, remember that quite a few Texans are your allies.

Exactly! I have a cute, casual summer dress that came in my Stitch Fix. It has pockets and a cute detail in the back. I loved this dress! Then women started asking me if it was LuLaRoe. When my answer turned into, “Hell no! This was in my Stitch Fix and from a Canadian designer. I wouldn’t buy that LuLaRoe crap,” I…

We want more details!

I has a migraine last night and had gone to lay down. I knew the VA and NJ governors races had gone our way. My husband came in to tell me about Roem, and I screamed “Hell Yes!!!!”. Then the tears started flowing. THIS meant everything for this mother trying to raise an open-minded and inclusive child in the south.
