Are you a woman? I left an abusive relationship and got shit for not being loyal. I also got shit for not leaving sooner. There is no right way to exist.

“Her uncle contacted the local police and county sheriff’s offices, which launched an investigation but closed it after two months”

My big sister and her husband got married only to find out a couple of years later that the priest had forgotten to complete the paperwork and they weren’t really legally married. It was fun!

I absolutely love both of them. Keanu just something about him which makes my heart go and he always seems so sweet and genuine. Winona just always has this presence around her that totes wishes she was an older sister.   

No, I don’t think it should be. I think it should just kind of go away, honestly. I don’t think it’s time for them to have a voice right now. Of course, it’s devastating to put time into a project and have it disappear. But at the same time, this movement is so powerful and so progressive that I’m just happy to be in…

I think I remember a similar kind of scenario a few years ago in a domestic violence situation where it was argued that the perpetrator was “only” a threat to the victim but wasn’t a threat to the general population so he was given bail.

In my history of murder class I was JUST talking about “Missing White Girl Syndrome” yesterday, and now we have another example. I LIVE in Michigan and read the news and yet I had heard nothing about this woman’s murder. No way that would be true if she were white. News media coverage of murder constantly reinforces…

If the law charged you with killing a minor who was set to testify you raped her, why the Hell would you get bail at any amount?

Teacher from her school here. Her rapist WORKED FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, a fact that makes me need to scream into a pillow with rage. My first day of education classes our professor warned us that no one with a felony would ever, EVER be able to work in schools. WHAT THE HELL. So disgraceful. Mujey was bright and kind…

I think the reason I’ve grown to appreciate Mariah so much is that no matter how much bullshit is going on in the wider world, she manages to not let it affect her at all and just focuses on herself. Maybe not the best trait, but something I’ve never figured out how to do, which is why it fascinates me so much. Also,…

He’s famous for not giving actors any direction. I would argue that his best and most compelling female characters are created entirely by the actor and have nothing to do with his writing or direction. I remember from studying Annie Hall in film school that Allen based the character on Keaton’s own personality and…

This is exactly why it is the Left Eating Itself though. Because what we do means fuck-all to the Republicans except that they like us being weaker. They do not need examples of our hypocrisy to justify their own. They can make them up just fine.

I should have been more specific. I’m in the legal field and I’m aware that technically an assault could even be throwing something at someone that missed them completely. I meant Sexual Assault. MIMING GROUPING IS NOT SEXUAL ASSAULT. I know this is a touchy situation and I don’t think you’re being willfully…

Sorry, but high ground is a relative thing. The Republicans still just elected a president caught on tape saying abhorrent shit, and accused of actual rape. They are very likely to elect a senator who is accused of preying on young teenagers.

The problem is that any replacement made by a Democrat senator would only be in place until a special election is held in 2018. And the thing about Minnesota is that when Franken ran against a Republican in 2008, he just barely won after a protracted and litigated recount process. 2018 is also an off year and happens…

Okay but *we the people* don’t get to just.. kick him out. That isn’t a thing. He (and Conyers) needs to be investigated and either resign in shame or be oustered by his voters, or primaried out if he won’t go with grace. Who tf wants me, in NH, “deciding” who represents his constituents. You don’t get to decide that,…

Everyone involved in this discussion understands that Franken can’t be fired. Setting up a primary candidate to run against him is an entirely appropriate response on the part of the national party. Other responses that could be combined with that would be PACs withholding money from his reelection campaign and other…

“Taking responsibility” and resigning are two very different things. Your call for resignation is based on how YOU feel, but taking responsibility is based on the nature and severity of the act. Go use your pitchfork to go after Trump and Moore, remember the line that Sanders-Huckabee drew was that neither of those…

Bitcoin isn’t going to fail because it’s made up out of nothing. All currency is made up of nothing; this was part of Marx’s argument and why capitalists saw the argument, realized it was in fact correct, and then took all the world’s currencies off the gold standard.
