It’s maybe like asking Italians in 1944 whether they like Hitler (Trump) or Mussolini (Bush) better.  

Corker & Flake sounds like a British detective series that takes place somewhere in the country side near the Scottish border and involves two aging balding white men with pot bellies and sad Basset Hound eyes.

“If polls are to be believed, 51 percent of Democrats in this Economist/YouGov survey have a somewhat or very favorable view of George W. Bush, a guy whose historic lies and fucking war crimes could only pale in comparison to someone as unhinged and violently racist as Donald Trump.”

Usually I see this post too late to comment, but I am enraged by it every week. My mom’s story would sound exactly like this, that she was a good mom and every external force in the world separated us - it was my dad’s fault, it was the neighbor’s fault who reported her, it was my fault for telling my teacher I didn’t…

I mean, unfortunately he DID get away with it, which is exactly the thing that perpetuates this kind of vicious, demeaning harassment. Even now, Crews understands that he can’t name names. So, thus far, no consequences for appalling treatment of another human being. The only way it changes is if we force those…

It is becoming crystal clear that this behavior in Hollywood is so common that this person thought he could go up to a man who could clearly kick his ass and grab his privates AND get away with it. He probably knew that Terry was aware of how it would look (240 lb black man beats up Hollywood honcho.... like he said…

How utterly invincible do you think you have to be to grope Terry Crews in public and in front of his wife without any repercussions? What kind of sick, deranged power move is that?

I am one of the “lucky” ones that found the right job at the right time and I’m now on the tenure track at an institution that I like. I was an organizer for the NTTs when I was one at my previous institution and there is no union here. While no one is interested in a union, I’ve still been surprised how few TT…

Yah, I was one of these, except I chose the 9 hour shift at a bar instead of sex work. I didn’t finish my PhD, go figure.

This has been a trend for the last 20 years or so. One reason why I’m ABD.

This is a very hard read for me. Full disclosure, I’m an abuse survivor so I may have my own issues all over this, but... It really sounds like they’re painting parents as the victims. The parents are adults.

I was hit with a belt maybe once or twice, but I was older. At two you barely really understand what’s wrong and right and you’re still trying to figure out where the line is. I’m kind of disturbed by her continual justification for her actions. Like I’m not sure why she feels she can be an advocate of any kind. Also,…

Do other people really bundle up that much when they go running? I think I personally would die of heat exhaustion if I went running in a down vest. This is set in California, how cold can it be?

I think there is a word for making people do work for free...

C) Trump stopped paying attention 3 minutes into the meeting and just started nodding and saying ‘yup!’ and is only now finding out what he agreed to.

So, as I see it, the two possibilities that explain there being THIS wide a disparity between the publicly disclosed takeaways by the involved parties regarding this dinner about DACA and the wall and all of that:

Watching his supporters completely fall apart on his twitter feed over the dreamer tweets is giving me life!!!

This is exactly how the nonprofit world was for me. Execs were paid through the roof, regardless of performance, while admin staff qualified for food stamps.

Gotta watch out for the people up top. Reminds me of when I worked for a Christian college. They paid their employees minimum wage. Even faculty made half of what they should have been paid. But profits were through the roof. The people up top made fortunes. If the people at the bottom asked to be paid for their hard…

Let’s just say that Ebony isn’t the first “woke” publication that treats its freelancers like dog shit, and it won’t be the last. A socially conscious business is still just that, a business, and therefore they aren’t exempt from shitty practices.
