So I work at an outpatient mental health clinic associated with a local hospital in the urban part of my city. I primarily act as a patient advocate (explaining options and recommended treatment when there’s conflict). I am tired. We have to do better by ourselves and our loved ones. Stop waiting for things to get…

Hahahahaha no. There was no treatment. The young men who were subjected to near-constant bombing and the ubiquitous threat of gas would get PTSD so bad they had actual seizures. Only then did military doctors consider there might be something wrong. They named it ‘shell shock’ and it’s the first known diagnosis of…

I don’t fear the world ending (much); I’m just really, really pissed off all the goddamn time. Because he’s a hateful liar, and stupid people caused this. Very easy to be pissed off about that.

As a Canadian I often think Americans don’t understand how seriously in decline the American empire is. I think Americans, for the most part are good people. However your country is a shit show (hole?) I don’t say this to be pious or better than thou, I say it because as a black woman with relatives in the States I am…

From a legal standpoint, what the judge said was very much out of bounds, and due to that, Nassar does deserve a resentencing.  The next judge, if it happens, should not show any bias, and sentence Nassar to the same if not longer prison term.

I remember when people were shocked that Zuck donated to the GOP too. Of course he did. He wants to use those H-1B visas as a bottomless piggy bank of foreign workers who will come here cheap, stay quiet, and be beholden to Facebook for immigration status.

Our constitution does not allow for cruel and unusual punishment. If it did, I have to say, I might allow what he did to all of these beautiful souls—these young women in their childhood—I would allow someone or many people to do to him what he did to others.

I would be more sympathetic to Grimes’s arguments if they weren’t an explicit admission of pay to play politics by an oligarch.

From the source article:

I think the teacher put the noose around his own neck and told the kid to look out for him. How this is a joke, or appropriate, or not at least grounds for dismissal, I do not understand.

As I understand it, the teacher put the noose around his OWN neck.

Coercive sex is non-consensual at its very essence, so please make that distinction. Silence is not consent. 

Republicans dont give a shit about anyone outside of their immediate family (and even family is questionable). Empathy is a foreign word to them with no translation available.

She comes from a privileged upbringing, has never had to worry about her financial future, healthcare costs, what kind of schools her kids would go to, and on and on and on. To talk about how horrible it would be for others to get the smallest taste of that kind of security is is disgusting. Meghan is the worst, whites…

“Name any country where this has worked”

It’s in his twitter post, right in the article.

He's gonna do the world a favor and finally arrest Florida Georgia Line for committing musical war crimes

We don’t hate women, not all of us, we just hate the awkward double standard. Beat a woman at a sport and its expected, lose to one and you are ridiculed. Let her pass you and you get called out for being to easy on them, give a hard tackle and you are bullying. It is a no-win situation for men.

A lot of guys hate women. That’s not a very nuanced take, but I can’t see how anybody could argue otherwise. They don’t like women, and they’ll tell you that this isn’t true, because they know the optics of saying “I don’t like women” are really bad. So they’re going to be super aggressive and try to prove that women…

Cagle was caught on tape complaining that the Republican primary had come down down to “who had the biggest gun, who had the biggest truck and who would be the craziest.”
