I threw back my head and laughed at this specific line:

Yep, lobbying the governor to create a website that can do your job better, faster, and more cheaply than you can is definitely the smart move, Casey. What could possibly go wrong?

I’m sorry the ‘80s, they weren’t fun for everybody, clearly.

So you’re saying that providing women access to safe birth control actually reduces the amount of unwanted pregnancies?

Or:

I once spent like an hour reading about hyena clitorises and it is always my go-to interesting fact for when I am a little bit drunk. ‘DUDE, DID YOU KNOW ABOUT HYENA GENITALS’ is generally somewhere between ‘Gregory Peck was a stone-cold fox’ and ‘Bulbasaur is the best starter Pokémon, who wants to fight me’ on my…

Her activism for children who have been raped and sexually abused has no doubt saved countless lives and helped to begin the process of mending damaged souls. She is doing the single most important thing to end…

1) Yes you can try and vote, but with the supreme court getting rid of key part of voting right act that has made it harder, also with strict ID laws and gerrymandering.
