When journalists are writing about undocumented folks, can you please use that word instead of illegal (unless you’re quoting someone who said it, obviously)? Human beings can’t be illegal and shouldn’t be described as such. Thanks.

I am totally panicking. I just got into a big fight with my brother-in-law, who works in finance and while he considers himself on the left and says most of Trumps’s social policies will be awful, still believes three things: 1) Congress will block much of what Trump wants to do 2) The economy is going to be robust…

Yep. Yep yep yep. My body has been waking me up at 4:30 or 5:00 every day. I was pretty concerned/anxiety riddled about the state of things before anyway, but now it’s full blown “refresh refresh refresh” and dry mouth horror.

I think it’s ridiculous for cis, white men to be all “I’ve been left out/give me attention too” and for any male parent to feel like they are babysitting/”watching” their kids because the female parent isn’t home, but I don’t think it’s true that all men aren’t being discriminated against the way that women are.

I know she’d never advocate for violent/aggressive resistance, and I think that’s probably ok because if she and/or Barack (ugh feels so weird not to call him POTUS) did call for that, things could turn into mayhem all around.

It seems like they’re working on it, but haven’t been able to get anything yet:

First of all, litigated is not the right word for this. It’s not even a casual misuse. There has been no lawsuit surrounding this. Perhaps it is a Freudian slip because she believes there should be?

I’m over the idea that non-violence is the only path. I’m over the “Love Trumps Hate” and (as much as I love Michelle Obama) “When they go low, we go high”. It is not our job to roll over, compromise, always be nice, always be peaceful, always take what others have determined to be the high road. The intimidation…

There is precedent for this not passing, but I agree with the people saying that we keep being shown that our “that could never happen”s can actually happen. We just had an inaugural address that was written by a white nationalist. We have a President who has blown through any and all ethics standards that apply to…

I feel like such a crank saying this but do we really need to highlight men who go to things like this? No one should make them go and they do not deserve a gold star or a cookie or extra attention for being there. And they should probably be in charge of snacks/trash pick up/other backstage duties (as I and other…

Yes times a trillion thousand on your sex worker comments. One only need to look to what the “progressive” left have to say about the supposed sex workers that Trump spent time with in Russia and about Melania Trump to see how they would respond to sex workers piping up en masse. Plus Lena Dunham is still being held…

I am so glad that you didn’t end up picking a knife and I’m so sorry you ever had to even be in that position. It is terrifying.

Hello, my comrade in bi-polarness.

Perhaps it’s not the best optics for a man who has bragged on tape about sexual assault, expressed also on tape an interest in underage girls and lecherous comments about his own daughter, committed adultery and is now dealing with a fetish and sex worker laden scandal to have an event draped in “soft sensuality”.

As I’ve been planning on how to pay for my chronic health condition if I lose my ACA insurance, it’s struck me how much of an privilege having access to credit can be. I’d rather not pile up a ton of credit card debt and possibly have to file for bankruptcy at some point but that’s better than what would happen if…

Given the current climate and Democrats fighting against Wikileaks, Assange, etc. there is no way this is going to happen.

1) Michael Cohen is an idiot. He’s gave statements

It makes me very uncomfortable to rah-rah any Republican, but John Kasich is showing more backbone than a whole lot of liberals. From what I have seen/read, he is very upfront about his disgust with Trump and doesn’t bend to the idea that we need to play nice/accommodate him or his administration. He could be vice…

Maybe these people should have worried more about making a man President bragged about sexual assault, admitted an attraction to/willingness to sleep with underage girls and told a 10 year old that he’d be dating her in a few years (What kind of man looks at a 10 year old and thinks about dating/fucking her?). Not to…

This is a super great way to keep low income/poor (and probably some middle class, too) women from achieving economic success. If they’re dead from cervical or breast cancer or an underground abortion, they can’t work. If they’ve got a kid that resulted from a fetus that they couldn’t prevent with birth control or…
