“You’re the first daughter of the United States, and you’re also an assistant to the president,” the moderator, WirtschaftsWoche editor-in-chief Miriam Meckel, said. “The German audience is not that familiar with the concept of a first daughter. I’d like to ask you, what is your role, and who are you…

My main takeaway here is that Teen Vogue is not letting nobody get away with NOTHING. And now that there’s finally a more-than-just-decent major fashion rag out there, it went to bimonthly and may merge with the largely content-ruined Allure, *sob* (still grateful to have it at all, though)

Sometimes when I see ridiculous commercials, I try to imagine what that pitch meeting must have been like, and I feel like the phrase “protest is the new brunch” was uttered in this one.

VA redistricting is so shit that Democrats routinely get the majority of the vote in an election year yet our House is 66-34 in favor of Republicans. (edit: obviously the reason it’s this bad is that Republicans had control over the last two redistricting sessions and boy howdy did they do a fucking number on the…

In other good news, Good Governor Terry Mac in VA vetoed a bill to defund Panned Parenthood in the Commonwealth.

I love his assertion that her being ‘a great person’ (citation needed) has any bearing on Nordstrom carrying her line. They cut it because it didn’t sell, and Nordstrom is a business, it wouldn’t matter if it was Mother Teresa’s line.

A copy of the Art of War on the sparsely populated bookshelf is one of the signs that your boss is an asshole and will probably go down in flames within a couple years. Other Required Elements include a collection of porn on his office computer, a couple of bottles of booze in the “file cabinet” next to his desk, a…

Democrats need to understand that there is no good will to be gained from Republicans by trying to appear reasonable, hopefully this has made that crystal clear to them moving forward. Props to Kirsten Gillibrand, it appears she learned the correct lesson from the Iraq War authorization vote.

I’m encouraging everyone to replace ‘pro-life’ with ‘anti-choice.’ It’s a more accurate term to describe opponents of women’s right to choose, since they don’t care about the lives of pregnant women.

Living in a country with Soviet history, I cannot begin to describe the familiar horrors her statements give me. Be aware, guys. Be very aware.

Bodily autonomy. Same reason it is illegal for someone to rape or assault you. Same reason doctors need your informed consent to give you treatment. Same reason you can get a tattoo or a piercing but it is illegal for someone to force those on you. Same reason your organs can’t be donated after your death if you…

In Roe v. Wade, the Court established a right of personal privacy protected by the due process clause that includes the right of a woman to determine whether or not to bear a child.

Trump supporters have been interviewed about why they were voting for him.

I just don’t see how an attitude of, “They’re not REALLY on our side because they’re white” helps literally anything. Insulting and alienating people on your own team only helps the other team.

Except, you know, both of Obama’s.

I don’t think the angry white people who elected the Orange Man would have elected a socialist Jew, no matter how excited millenials were about him.

Just gotta - enjoy
