WITH THAT SAID, not all children are treated equally by their parents in a relationship and everyone views their parental relationships differently. I would say my father was not a good parent-- my sister would say differently. We each had different experiences growing up.

It’s possible that Mia was indeed a terrible person. But that does not take away from Dylan’s accusation.

When people say they were abused as children, we should take that seriously. It in no way exonerates Woody Allen to consider the possibility that Mia Farrow was also a (different kind of) terrible parent.

If Roma Downey didn’t throw a punch and then yell, “You just got touched by an angel bitch!” she really missed a golden opportunity.

Helen Keller, as she was presented in the history books of my day, really wasn’t a “historical figure.” It was a feel-good story of a blind/deaf girl learning to communicate. Keller’s later activism wasn’t even mentioned. It seemed meant to help instill the patriotic propaganda: You can do anything! See? This…

chores? Seriously, did you even read that part? It is both the statements of Moses and Soon-Yi that Mia treated her adopted children like slaves that she trotted out in order to give her a White Savior image in magazines. 

It’s possible that Mia was indeed a terrible person. But that does not take away from Dylan’s accusation. Horrible people can be victims of sexual assault. Their children can be victims of sexual assault. Soon-Yi was in that in room with Dylan, so nothing she has to say is at all relevant in this matter. Whether Allen…

Their entire “love story” is a textbook case of grooming. If her claims of abuse by Mia are true, far from discrediting the idea that he groomed Soon-Yi, it would have made her a more likely target. Abusers will often pose as “saviors” to get troubled children to trust them. He’s scum.

She helped co-found the ACLU. She’s kind of like Martin Luther King; she get’s really inconvenient when you learn what she stood for besides disability rights.

I agree, but a big problem is that many (all? most?) states follow Texas’s lead in textbook purchasing. Because they’re so big—it some economy of scale thing. I am not explaining well, but let me look for a source:

Fun fact. Hellen Keller was uber socalist.

It’s infuriating how sex workers are targeted and how their portrayal in the media of how they are targeted is treated as flippant and insignificant. Even the AP tried it by changing their tweet from “women” to “prostitutes” about this event.

Avenatti asked Carlson why he didn’t refer to Trump as a “creepy porn president” when Trump was the one screwing a porn star without a condom while his wife had just given birth.

I voted for Bernie in the last primary, I like him and I like his platform. He has absolutely no business running for president again. There's a lot of negative baggage he'd be carrying from the Bros and what turned into a pretty ugly in-fight and oh yeah HE'S TOO FECKIN OLD. Sit back and let someone else have a go.

Or maybe we dont need another fuckin’ actor running the government.

Maybe people should run for lower offices before they consider running for major offices like governor or president. Or even have some political experience. Haven’t we learned from the Trump shitshow that you want someone who knows what s/he’s doing running things?

Another read could be, a person with experience beats a person without experience after a state saw on a national stage what happens when you put someone with no experience but lots of promises in power. That or a persons campaign lost which was focused on a city when running for a statewide role. Both of these could…

Democrats continue to get steamrolled by Republicans with this line of thinking. They don’t have to move to the center. Dems lose because they try to win over unwinnable portions of the electorate while alienating their base with this nonsense logic. 

Bad Man Politician Wins Primary Against Actress. Amateur Hour Over.

Bitch bye.
