Does it really matter if they could “easily” blame the GOP for it? They are easily blaming the GOP for putting Dreamers in this situation in the first place and it’s mattered fuck all with the American public. Hell, there’s been more ink spilled about how the DEMS have failed Dreamers (by not using their small…

Oh hey look, a disingenuous headline that doesn’t acknowledge there’s plenty of disagreement within the Democratic party about how to handle negotiations (“With that in mind, some of the letter’s signatories said the more realistic goal is not forcing action on DACA, but preventing Republicans from using the omnibus…

Also shout out to black women like Dorothy Bolden who organized around domestic workers rights, who in 1968 said that the minimum wage should be at least $15. Who worked tirelessly until domestic workers were added to the FLSA.

I think my first ever official tween girl outing to the mall, we were on a mission to buy yin yang and/or peace sign necklaces at Claire’s followed by lunch at Sbarro and dessert in the form of a giant jawbreaker from the Sweet Factory. Best $20 I’d ever spent at that point.

John Oliver is in the group of very smart people who apparently still need it explained to them that 48 and 193 are smaller numbers than 51 and 238.

Yup. The shutdown is a shit sandwich for Democrats - it’s not in line with their political ideology (like it is the Republicans who like it when everything doesn’t work), and it disproportionately fucks up the lives of Democratic supporters and vulnerable people (who either have to live without paychecks or services).

She made the point that she was standing with Dreamers.

I feel like you should only be able to be that condescending if you pledge at least half of your paycheck to a GoFundMe for furloughed federal employees and contractors during a shutdown.

I can’t wait to vote in 2018.

I mean honestly, even if they did shut down the government, the BEST case scenario even then is just to get a bill on the floor to debate. But even if the bill does miraculously pass both the House and the Senate, Trump would still need to sign it; and he’s said over and over he won’t, and he welcomes a shut down…

To all those who will scoff at actions like Pelosi’s, and accuse the Democrats in Congress of lacking the will to pursue progressive goals, this is what it’s like when you are the minority party in the House and Senate, and have a Republican (???) president and a conservative judiciary. You do what you can to win…

Doesn’t it make it worse that they did it in his hometown? He didn’t care for this artist, and considered using artists after their death “demonic,” and then they did it right on his own home turf.

If I was a betting woman, I’d put money on her running for office.

Running for Ted Cruz’s seat? Governor Abbott? Kicking it on a beach? Whichever she chooses, I wish her success.

Please please please let this mean she is running for office.

cecile 2020? this job makes it all but impossible.

OMG. Now this is the kind of honesty and speaking truth to power that gets the power structure where it really feels it: in the wallet.

Her interview was insanely real. Who gets to say that Disney is making too much money so she was going to get hers, and gets away with it! It’s incredible.
