Valentina showed who she really was in this moment. It made me sad. I really liked her. I know she is young and was very inexperienced. I hope she has grown. She has the talent. I want her to be who she presents herself to be.

If Gia Gunn is cast, Ru’s opinion about who should be eligible has already been influenced.

Also, the finale of the last All-Stars sucked. Please let the judges judge and not the contestents who WEREN’T EVEN THERE!

I love that her mother lived with them in the White House too. To help and to expand the circle of support for all of them and also to normalize loving extended families in a society where families feel really pulled apart and isolated from each other.

Me too. When I think of her being president, tears leap to my eyes ... and they are tears of hope and pride and tears of fear and sadness for her at exactly the same time.

Some things in this interview really spoke to me. Like this: Counseling, she says, taught her that, “My happiness was up to me. I stopped feeling guilty. It’s important for me to take care of myself. That’s not on Barack,” she said.” <—This is something I’ve always struggled with in relationships. I have had…

Well done sir! I have never seen someone handle a troll like this before. Masterful. I am taking notes.

My patience has been in short supply lately too. I get it. I aspire to more patience than I actually have. All we can do is the best we can do. These are trying times, that’s for sure.

The judge has access to unredacted information. When she writes, “the testimony is relevant to several important factual and legal issues” that is probably true.

Watching them screw themselves out of that court seat was a rare bright spot in recent North Carolina politics. We have a long way to go to overcome republican redistricting but I am glad citizens voted down their proposed constitutional amendment redirecting more power from the governor to themselves and this court…

Same playbook they’ve been using here in North Carolina. First the courts said no, then they put it on the ballot as a constitutional amendment and all five living governors, from both parties, came forward to say, “Don’t vote for it!” (even that anti-trans bigot Pat McCrory) and the people voted it down. I don’t…

Can women request a woman driver?

I agree. This is a good article. Thank you for sharing it with me. I agree with her as well. I knew that calling people racist caused them to dig in more but I hadn’t thought about how it actually bolstered those who are proud and unabashed racists. Thank you for the perspective. (And, yes, Trump’s greed should be a…

I understand and agree. I just also think we can’t wait for all these people with racist behaviors to just suddenly get better or die off. I think we need to work with them to help them. Otherwise they just pass it on to the next generation. It’s challenging because making a space for racism has allowed it to thrive.…

Politispeak to not alienate potential “swing voters”. Once you call someone racist, there is no more listening after that. In retrospect, I wish he’d called the behavior racist. Telling someone they engaged in a racist behavior instead of calling them racist seems to be less of a condemnation and can leave a door open…

WTF Hannah!?!

This woman has created her own hell on earth. I don’t know if I could live with this. It’s just so sad. Stupid, preventable, and sad.

The photo of all these judges together gives me so much hope for Texas and for justice.

I am not sure if the fantasies I have been having about the many ways that Trump could meet a violent end are healthy or unhealthy...but here they are: A tornado snatches his plane out of the sky and smashes it into the ground after giving him time to cry like a baby and shit his pants. A fire on his golf cart…

Dear Regionalist,

His votes have been important at a time when every vote has counted.

Yeah her cheerleading for the wall got under my skin too.
