The irony being that these kids are walking out because it’s not even safe at school was clearly lost on whomever wrote that letter

Our district also sent out a very long winded e-mail about “safety” concerns and attendance policies, which is why there will be a “heightened” police presence. We already had a half day scheduled for today so our district didn’t even have a walk out option for today. The whole thing reeked of bullshit, considering…

My sons middle school in Eugene, Oregon sent a long winded letter about how students walking out wouldn’t be safe and that the only safe place was inside the school and they would get unexcused absence mark and possibly suspension. They were really emphasizing how unsafe it was to walk out. My son walks to and from…

I hope the ACLU stands by their promise to represent anyone who was unduly punished for their actions today. Cancelling prom? Please, don’t tell me that is a regular punishment when a student cuts class

I fervently hope that every single person or school administrator who did anything to punish these kids has their actions dragged out into the open and crushed under the weight of public outrage. THIS is what democracy looks like, you cowardly fuckers. (Sorry. Feelin’ a bit testy about this.)

Just fucking WOW

Jeff Sessions says you are a criminal for smoking pot, but you can get a gun.

You can’t buy a booze, but you can get a gun.

The NRA is suing because the law would prevent 18-year olds from buying firearms and therefore violates the Second Amendment, which states (in its entirety) “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

So, a typical NYC street-crossing interaction, the sort of which happens literally every day here, then..? Got it.

If Access Hollywood does things right, they’ll set up their cameras to show Ryan being dodged by celebs in the background.

This has been one of the singularly good maxims to come out of the excellent “Yo, is this Racist?” blog, to wit: tolerance of racism, willingness to overlook it, willingness to enable it by not resisting it, downplaying its existence or effects, or willingness to normalize and legitimize it by not denouncing it loudly…

I remember seeing a quote last year somewhere that said: 

I disagree. I found a box of Thin Mints in the freezer I’d forgotten I’d stashed a few weeks ago and actually started tearing up a little I was so happy.

Is there some sort of hot pink cigar I can smoke with this ladyscotch? Preferably one that won’t make my hands/face/hair smell like ass for three days, but really it’s the hot pink that is important to me as a female consumer.

And you can write and tell your friends about it with your BIC ‘for her’ pen.

I admit I don’t know that many women who like scotch very much, but I don’t think it has anything to do with there not being a lady on the bottle.

this will go down smoothly with my lady doritos.

Something about guys who unbutton their shirts really far down like this, alarms me. It screams; “Do not date..he is everyone he has ever wanted. No room, no room!”

These are the same people that shout “MENTAL HEALTH” to avoid talking about guns, while actively and proudly working to dismantle health care legislation that makes mental health care easier to access.
