Chad here. Shit like this is one of the reasons I don’t want my elementary son playing football in our West Texas town, and also why we moved him out of private ‘Christian’ school to a public school. This is generationally wrong. These kids are wrong, their parents are wrong and their grandparents are wrong. I don’t…

Two things:

This thread is worth reading.

Kneel during a song to protest police brutality? DISRESPECTING THE SOLDIERS WHO FOUGHT AND DIED FOR YOU FREEDOM YOU UNGRATEFUL SON OF A BITCH!!!!

Are we just going to ignore the mention of “illegal rodeo”? That’s a thing?!?

Listen to Judith. Do as Judith says, for it does seem like she’s 100 percent correct.

This is what I keep saying, Pence terrifies me, as a gay woman I know he hates everything that I am and would happily strip me of every right I currently enjoy and then strap me in for some electrotherapy. However, I am more than willing to let him do that if we avoid WWIII and nuclear war, because my rights can be…

The are absolutely oblivious. I get, I pray for your soul, & you’re so judgemental, all the time. The following happened tonight after a FB’er commented about Hillary speaking out about Trump being a sexual predator. She said it was funny, because that’s how she felt about Bill. I told her it was disgusting that she…

I think she did more than just make her point awkwardly. It was a strange op-ed for her to write given the moment. Why on earth would you choose this moment to write a piece about how your looks and choices “protected” you from being assaulted? I don’t have a problem with her writing a piece about what it’s like to be…

You know, it’s been a solid... 25 years or so but you guys evoke that song like I watched the movie yesterday.

HEEEE’S ESPECIALLY FOND OF THE PAAATRRRIIIAAARCCCHYY!!!

I just read the OP/ED — omg, she is awful. Fuck her for calling herself a feminist.

No it isn’t justification to publish private emails of her’s. That’s an insane and dangerous suggestion.

The second article mentions that a home visitor taught the parent how to love her baby, and as a home visitor, this is a very accurate description of our work. I work with my state’s MIECHV (mick-vee) program, which stands for Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting. In some states, MIECHV works with a…

You’re seriously advocating the government pay for a child’s great grandmother’s house to be cleaned so that the mom can go party her woes away. What the ever loving fuck.

Yeah, no. We’re not talking about a few dishes in the sink and a bunch of clutter on various surfaces and some laundry that hasn’t be folded in a week. We’re talking about filth - so much garbage left sitting that it attracted insects and animal excrement in places animals shouldn’t be relieving themselves. Garbage…

There is definitely a line between messy and hazardous. It’s not totally clear from the story how messy the house is... It says that cps came in and saw garbage and flies. Was the garbage stacks of old newspapers laying around or was it rotting food? Was it bagged up and contained properly or was it strewn about? Were…

No, the mom said her house was neat. She was accused of neglect for needlessly taking her kids from their clean house to the grandmother’s pigsty. Why in the world should the state send a housekeeper to your babysitter’s house to clean it just so you can go party all weekend? And, how long would this partying all…

I love how the people whining about the comments don’t stop and think “what if any of these commenters have suffered from being abused as kids.” Because there’s quite a lot who have, or have witnessed abuse or worked with abused children. Like no shit they’re annoyed at the apologia.

If it is a dumpster fire, it is well deserved. I am a Black woman, 43, not affluent and survived various forms of abuse in childhood. I was raised by a single mother in generally poor, minority neighborhoods. These folks don’t get a pass from me.
