Yeah, I hear what you’re saying about danger to the baby. We don’t know. We have no idea if she would have made the best choice for the baby. It sounds like from what she says, of the baby was in danger no one told her that, which is awful. You need good information to make a good decision.

This is one of the real dangers of the anti-choice, forced-birth, fetus-first agenda. The mother, while fully conscious and able to make a medical decision, can have her objection to a medical procedure overruled because we think of the baby first and the mother second.

Why is doing nothing a bad option? We have women wearing various levels of Muslim headscarf, including face covering, in Philadelphia every day. Life goes on. They are just women going on errands, taking the subway, or walking down the street like everyone else. Some are immigrants and some are American-born women.…

Reese looks like that girl in a nineties makeover movie where you take off her glasses and pluck her brows and she’s suddenly the hottest girl in school.

I love this. Rosa Parks had a lifetime of anti-racist and anti-sexist work behind her before she changed America with her participation in the bus boycott. It gets overlooked, I think because “elderly woman wants to sit down” is more palatable than “white southern men made a habit of raping black women and faced no…

Respect for the flag, as demonstrated by standing for the national anthem (???) is more important to the Trump administration than the fact that black folks are being disproportionately killed by police, and disproportionately jailed, and charged with crimes, and given longer sentences. It’s also more important than…

Remember the Bush tax cuts, which in the lead up to the largest economic downfall since the depression, we were told to take that money and shop? The government specifically told all of us not to pay off debt or increase our savings. I was twenty two and even I knew that was not right.

I heard a GOP congressman talking about healthcare on NPR yesterday and he called Americans “consumers.” It really struck me. We’re not citizens now, not even constituents, it’s all about how we spend our money, not the kind of care we get. It comes from all that bullshit about running American like a business, which…

I often want one for someone who’s just an asshole.

Deplorables’ ability to ignore the shit he actually says and does - and to actually deny that he said and did it - amazes me every fucking time.

I have watched this more times than I want to admit. I love it.

She was amazing. Who won that challenge? I also can’t believe it wasn’t her.

Relevant:

The Jones Act sounds like exactly the type of colonial law that our founders chafed against when it came from England. I’m embarrassed to say I never heard about it until now. I’m also embarrassed that the US enacted it at all.

Just so we all know, an Acela from DC to Philly takes 90 minutes and a first-class ticket is about $280.

Am I the only American who doesn’t mind paying taxes if we get good things from them? I don’t mind paying taxes so we have good public schools, a strong public health system, and modern transportation (including good roads and good public transportation). I know there are more things to pay for that are legitimate,…

And who is the damn nurse, or whoever, who called them in? Who looks at a family making a wrenching decision about their child and feels so much hate in their hearts that they would take advantage of their position to turn them in ICE?

I think she has had so much work done that she can no longer move her face in ways adequate to express emotion. I’m not even trying to make fun of her for having plastic surgery, I just really think she went overboard at some point and something went very wrong.

The travel thing is an issue, I grew up in a city so I always just took the subway and walked to work or wherever, it gave me a lot independence at a relatively young age.

What do teens do over the summer if they don’t work? This is a real question. When I was young I went to day camps or spent the summer with my grandmom in Atlantic City. I had one summer after grandmom died and when I was really too old for the camp where I did a lot nothing, I think. Then starting at fifteen I…
