Cruz argues that it would be a disservice to the American people to allow a lame duck president appoint Scalia’s replacement, drawing on that nonexistent lame duck clause to which Warren refers in her post

By the way, how are you supposed to hide your status as a mother while pregnant? Loudly decry the number of burritos you’ve been eating and wear baggy clothes?

You know, you keep saying this advice is “effective,” but you are repeating it secondhand from your mom, who was raising children in a different era — treating anecdote and opinion as time-tested fact. My mother’s experience (in the same era!) is no less true or valid than that of yours; my mother’s advice could not…

I’m a single mom to a very young child. I already have a nanny that works 50+ hour weeks, and friends that are maxxed out filling in for me beyond that so I can do basic things like get haircuts and therapy appointments. I work a demanding full-time job in finance. When the tragedy occurred that granted me single mom…

So was mine. When she was pregnant with her youngest, she worked in an environment that was literally almost completely male, so she pretty much wrote the policy for how to handle mat leave, prescribed bed rest, etc. She worked 70 hour weeks through my childhood and, alongside my highly active co-parent of a dad, was…

If we rejected or accepted studies based on how they were reported in the popular media, no scientific progress would be made. Ever.

I am reminded of this skit with Amy Schumer

Legally? Nothing.

Half of her approach works as an interim position: you need women with decision-making power behind the camera in order to get women in front of the camera. But she just rolled right over the second step of that analysis.

YASSSS this is why as much as I love the words coming out of Bernie Sanders’s mouth and how happy I am that a socialist is doing so well, that he needs to sit down and go back to Congress. The Presidency is not a position that does well for non-centrists on either side (and its Constitutionally designed to be that…

Being a sore loser and not conceding when he loses, shit talking the organizations when he doesn’t get their endorsements, stealing campaign data, whining about the establishment when he almost exclusively gets positive press and now constantly changing the conditions after agreeing to them - it’s Bernie’s world…

“I sure hope — we’re in Bernie Sanders’ backyard here in New Hampshire — I sure hope he intends to show up in his neighboring state”...“There is nothing worse than a debate about debates.”

Don’t these people listen to the lyrics before they use the song? Rolling in the Deep is about a guy being eviscerated by a strong woman. “You’re gonna wish you never had met me.”

A lot of these guys aren’t really down for being told ‘no’ - I imagine someone like Trump demands a song be played, a staffer weakly protests since they know Neil Young would not be pleased to hear his songs are a Trump war cry, Trump tells the staffer to stuff it and play the gd song, and the song gets played until…

I say this every time they post/rant about something fake/misleading on Twitter and don’t fact check. You have interns. Use them.

It’s the bernsplainers from that early slot article. God damn they’re insufferable.

There are some great people supporting Bernie. Totally. When I went to a rally in Boulder, it was tons of college students, old hippies and nurses and everyone was very friendly. But the ‘Bernie bros’ are just very vocal and need to take a seat

Haha yup. “Since you’re a feminist, you’ll be okay with me putting down our female prof for teaching family history, because anything to do with women’s or family history is lesser,” (pretty close to an actual conversation I had once), or thinking I’d be okay with them insulting a classmate for the makeup or clothing…

The worst is when one of either camp points to the other side as the mysoginists - it’s like dum dum, you’re all terrible people.

That’s delusional. And that’s exactly where a “no war but the class war” ideology will get us. Without explicitly working to challenge systemic sexism and racism economic equality alone is not a fix-all. So no wonder it feels like Bernie and Donald supporters both have a lot in common: white men who feel economically…
