A society should be judged by how we treat the “least” of our issues.

Yeah... it’s really hard having grown up as a poor kid to see their surprise.

Well, they had no idea they were so rich even though they had always lived in a mansion and gone to a school similar to the one on Gossip Girl. It was a huge surprise!

This picture will forever be iconic:

We’ve seen the worst in Christianity over gay marriage but Bree Newsome and the members of Emmanuel AME Church show us the grace and beauty of it.

This woman is glorious. The picture of her, triumphantly holding up the flag while she is still up towards the top of the pole, needs to become iconic. It needs to be in history books about this era, when this time is written about as a time of great changes and many triumphs. We have not had a lot of those triumphs,…

My parents divorced when I was fairly young... but I always aware that we didn’t have a lot of money, but I thought we were average, not poor before the divorce.

Here’s the thing about being the child of a parent who abandons you, and then subsequently the child of a loving stepparent: IT’S NOT THE KID’S FAULT THAT YOU LEFT AND SOMEONE ELSE WANTED TO LOVE THEM. My own mother is super bitter about the acknowledgment my stepmother gets on Mother’s Day, but you know what? If you…

ngl I am so proud of this one.

Well if you pay them enough sex workers will say anything, Senator.

I KNOW. Glamorous graduate school life? They’re also going to need some footage of me eating ramen in a shithole studio apartment, and, like, renewing my glamorous bus pass.

You only need $200 and a few pieces of paper to propose a ballot initiative in CA. Getting it through is a completely different matter.

I can tell you what the flag was created to symbolize. Treason and hatred. Of the need for men to die that other men might be kept in chains.

Obviously. But at the same time, I still think there needs to be a largely uniform process to vet jurors. It might seem like a silly procedural thing given the realities of human bias, but it’s part and parcel to due process.

the debate was had. you lost. by a score of roughly Sherman’s March to the Atlantic to nil. your flag commemorates hatred, treason, and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of americans in the name of preserving white supremacy. Dylann Roof waved it knowing that you and the entirety of South Carolina stood behind him…

Honestly this sucks but part of our criminal justice system involves jury selection. If one of the jurors had been convicted of a sex offense and had lied about it, the prosecution would equally have a right to request a mistrial. That is not to say I personally think there is any validity to the idea that just…

The issue really isn’t that this particular juror can’t be fair because of his life experience, it’s that he failed to disclose that life experience when asked directly about it. This deprives the Defense of a fair opportunity to engage in the jury selection process. The Judge tied it all in a bow by saying that…

4 - Don’t kill anybody. Thats the easiest way to avoid detection!
