These are Boomers’ grandkids, but yes, you are correct.

Damn this hit a bit home, the majority of my coworkers are white. Lately they have been joking about their white privilege. For example “oh I have WHITE PRIVILEGE, so I have a car.”

Viking River Cruises sound great, and the boats look cool and go to fun places. However, be aware the average age of travellers is 70, so most of your vacation will be spent talking with strangers about their hip operations and incarcerated grandchildren.

Even though a lot of the sister sites have political beats and some overlapping stories, I’m going to miss having a dedicated place for them, especially as impeachment unfolds.

The list is growing: ThinkProgress, WBAI Radio (nyc) and now Splinter shuttered. And at time when we need more progressive news outlets not less.

Wow, that was fast. They’ve already removed it from the banner at the top of the GMG sites.

More of Betsy DeVos’ charter school magic in Michigan. You give your tax dollars to a private school and they tell you your kid’s hair is ugly. Go figure.

Dude better try telling that to anyone’s German/Italian/Russian/[insert yours here] grandmother who will briskly lift that pan, use it to smack you on the head, and then chase you out of the kitchen with the wooden spoon and fire and fury which she chased any number of grandkids and drunk uncles out of her kitchen.…

My grandmother was a teacher in the 30's and women were automatically fired if/when they married. By the time Warren was teaching, they’d probably offer some blather like the troll below about “workplace prod…

Shut up, tomato.

It’s me, a school principal who writes down “Fired this one for being visibly pregnant” down on all official paperwork, like one does.

Pregnant women are still getting fired and their bosses are still covering it up.

oh, it’s real common. pregnant people aren’t going to be able to work for the duration of maternity leave, and will not be bringing their A-game for at least another year or two around that. on a brute maximizing organizational efficiency level, firing them to avoid that whole headache is a no-brainer.

Having seen the inner workings of more than one school board, I have observed that schools routinely “fire” teachers by getting them to resign. The reason is very simple: if a teacher resigns, the district doesn't have to deal with the union, especially if the district accepts the resignation "with regret" (and a cozy…

They really are desperate to scrape anything at all together on her, aren’t they?
