Well said. I always feel cheered — and often cheer out loud — when I see an interracial or same-sex couple presented as “normal” in a tv commercial. It’s not only reflecting who market research says people are comfortable seeing as trustworthy fellow citizens, it’s also directly establishing a visible standard of…
I just saw all Under Amour products 20% off at a local store. Turns out it’s not to be profitable to associate yourself with a fascist loon, I guess.

I’m worried they’re going to start shooting us. The FBI and US Marshals have a history of shooting American Indians. This doesn’t look good.
And they just sit back and watch when Bundy’s white folks terrorize.
Perhaps they should conduct an internal investigation to determine the identity of the renegade agents that sabotaged a Presidential election instead of harassing peaceful protestors. Or, they could investigate the neo-Nazi, right-wing groups that are sending bomb threats to Jewish community centers, synagogues and…
Down deep, I’m probably much more of a Vera Charles (either Coral Browne or Bea Arthur - equal fabulosity)
Unfortunately, those days have passed. At 20 I could do a plausible Holly Golightly. At 54, I doubt I could pull off a Maude Findlay!
This makes me look forward to Drumpf’s passing. I will wear a red dress and go dancing on his grave.
Yup. Violent crime is down but we have all these jails and prisons with all these employees and private businesses that profit selling goods to those jails/prisons and no politician wants to kill a bunch of jobs in their cities, counties, districts, or states so lets lock up nonviolent people for minor offences then…
Seriously. There is nothing so threatening about driving on a suspended license that should warrant 1)jail time 2)$10K bail and 3)no medical supervision while a heavily pregnant woman lies bleeding and in pain on a dirty floor for nearly a week.
My mouth fell open at $10,000 for a traffic violation.
Oh, they know. They know she’s in pain and frightened. Each shift change got to guffaw at that. And to mock her for faking it. Even the blood. What horrible people.
With a $10k bond. WTF!
“Because the police do not give a shit about people who are not police.”
Because the police do not give a shit about people who are not police.
I don’t understand anything about this situation. A woman who was 8 months pregnant was bleeding and FIVE FUCKING DAYS later gives birth in her jail cell? In five days, they couldn’t have googled it and realized she needed to go the hospital? Do they not have a protocol for this type of thing? How does this shit even…
Another thing lost in this whole shit sandwich story is the $10K bail for driving on a suspended license. Granted, I do not know all circumstances, but in what world is this an appropriate amount?
