It sounds like Dodge emphasized the volunteering project when asking for permission, then turned around a made a standard car ad.

You can’t see this is in action in how much racists and politicians who support racist policies looooooooove Dr. MLK, Jr. But hate John Lewis, who marched with him. They love him because he’s dead. They can claim the most touchy-feely parts of his speeches and use them to uphold the status quo, and he can’t tell them…

“Temple: The Trumps will Never Even Step Foot in this Neighborhood.”

Everyone in Phillyknows Wharton undergrads are dumbasses with grades too bad for mom and dad to buy them a spot at any other ivy.

Ugh! I tried. Somehow iPad+kinja+imgur = gif won’t show up.

I do a lot of landlord tenant defense, and the form leases landlords come up with from the Internet are so bad. I work in legal aid and they are hard for my low-education clients to understand, but what I realized is that the landlords don’t even know or understand what is in there. I have won so many cases because…

For some reason, this immediately came to mind.

I saw her at The Roots Picnic a couple year she ago. She was a blast. Obviously her music is great, but the performance was also super high energy and she had great choreography and backup dancers. Plus, she is stunning in person. I know she is a know beautiful person, and a Covergirl and whatnot, but in person the…

So, even if the cops thought she did run away, why not fucking look for her? Seriously. Teens who run away end up homeless and exploited even if they initially left on their own. A 16 year old out there on her own with nowhere to go and a family worrying about her is a problem police should try to solve. In this case,…

I recently heard a re-broadcast of an interview with Ronnie Spector, lead singer of the Ronnettes who married Phil Spector. It is heartbreaking. She was a young singer who thought marrying Phil would mean she would record more and tour less. Instead, she didn’t sing AT ALL until they separated, and even during her…

She has absolutely the right idea: it’s not enough to go after individual predators. You have to go after the systems that allow the predators to operate with impunity. I believe she will stick with it and change the way we treat our elite athletes and hopefully all child and young adult athletes around the country.

I am not a geologist, but it makes sense to me that since the ring of fire is around the edges of the Pacific Plate, when that plate moves there will be a lot of seismic activity around the ring of fire. Probably lots of eruptions and little earthquakes are good because they show smooth-ish movement instead of…

I fucking LOVE Catherine the Great and I am so excited.

Not at all! I am a lawyer but I have never picked a jury, so you know more than me. My experience is from being in jury pools and on a jury, and talking to colleagues who have picked them.  It may not be normal everywhere, but in Philly, there are forms that ask if you were the victim of a crime, what crime, when, and…

The way we keep people off of juries is really weird, I think. The selection for basically people who have no firsthand knowledge of the subject at hand leads to juries that, especially when dealing with subjects where our collective knowledge is based on stereotypes and misinformation like rape and sexual assault,…

Can we talk about how her husband is planning to be a stay at home dad to support her important work leading a country? Ambitious women need men (and extended family support) who are willing to play a domestic role if we are going to be able to have families and reach our goals.

He got to have an entire career and he’ll die rich and smug. She’s been speaking out about this for twenty years. #metoo is great, but it is so upsetting that it took this kind of reckoning to make people do the right thing.

So...yes and no. Medicaid, which is our health insurance for people who live at 138% of the poverty level or below, lays out certain standards of care for people receiving care paid for by Medicaid. It means that people on Medicaid are required to be screened for medical and social issues that non-Medicaid patients…

I thought the details were disturbing and important. We can see and almost relive that night, when she wanted it to end, what she did, every time she tried unsuccessfully to put the breaks on the situation, and how she felt when things didn’t stop, or paused and started back up. Maybe Jezebel thinks that’s unseemly,…
