Yeah and she’s 45, I doubt she’s getting up to do 3am diaper changes either.

They could perhaps not be so glib about everything (like read the room and dont refer to this divorce as a “national nightmare”) but also, I don’t want or need Jezebel’s take on Israel/Hamas. In fact kudos to them for not giving one because it would be just a cynical ploy to generate engagement by setting off a…

I remember when I took con law in law school, I was horrified to learn at the house of cards that Roe was built on.

It’s a small minority of Americans who believe the Constitution is a sacred text that cannot be interpreted in accordance with modern societal norms. Unfortunately, most of those people are on the Supreme Court. 

For all those concerned about women’s sports, I’d like to know the last time they: attended a women’s sports game; bought merch for a women’s team; advocated for funding for a women’s team; or basically did anything of actual substance besides parroting a strawman argument that’s not even coming from female athletes.

Well put another way: “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” Maya Angelou.

The fact that it’s so public so fast makes me pretty sure its not a real relationship, just a PR blitz. For what, I don’t know. But if she wanted to date privately she could/would.

Is this an assignment to teach kids how to value/rank their fellow human beings, or to teach 5th graders what teenage pregnancy, police brutality, infertility, alcoholism, cocaine, prostitution, and ‘homosexuality’ are? Like there are so many concepts here that they probably (hopefully) aren’t even aware of yet. I…

I don’t think it’s weird to not invite everyone but I do think it’s kind of weird/shady to invite *one* person out of the group and post pics on IG.

She will always be replaced by someone less powerful, and she will have to be replaced eventually. The only way for her replacement to start building power is to... get into Congress.

It’s almost as if the anti-abortion movement isn’t actually about protecting children, it’s about controlling women. 

She’s probably usually a little overdressed and he’s probably usually a little underdressed but maybe they both are just cool with letting the other wear what they want. I don’t always like what my husband is wearing but I pick my battles and that’s just not one of them. 

Keeping a secret is distinct from forced disclosure. The current policy is not that teachers *can’t* disclose this information. What they are proposing is that parents are specifically notified every time.

If the parents are a safe place for the kids to say “hey I’d actually like to be called [x] instead”, then kids will do so. This policy targets the kids who do not feel safe doing so, and likely for good reason. Trans/non-binary kids face high rates of abuse and familial rejection, leading to suicide, substance abuse,…

Do you think he realizes his “anti-abortion” story is actually a story for why abortion should be accessible and safe? 

Exactly. It’s almost unheard of to get a murder case out to trial in a year, much less a capital case with multiple victims and significant media attention. The DA’s office is the liaison with the victim families and should be in communication with them to at least update them, although its not beholden to whatever…

There could be different statutory law in Idaho, but generally the right to a speedy trial is a federal constitutional right and only for the accused, not for the public or the victims.

Yeah he’s already in jail and will be there for the rest of his life. If they are already certain that he did it then they don’t need a jury to tell them that.

Honestly what’s most damning to me is that Lizzo hired hatchet man Marty Singer. If she was honestly about the empowerment of Black women, she wouldn’t have hired an attack dog to discredit and smear them. I think the initial lawsuit sounds a little overblown and she could have gotten past it with her brand/reputation…

Why is no one coming for Tim McGraw?
