i am no fan of the Speaker but did love this picture. i think it says more of her staff than it does about her. to her credit, she is not on twitter waiting to jump on one of Donnie’s brain farts but her staff sure is. they were up with that header photo faster than Taco Bell runs through your digestive system and the…

I am not quite moved by a still of Pelosi simply doing her job

She has FAR more power than anyone of any gender in the House. She’s the Speaker of the House. At the moment she wields more power than any Democratic politician in government. To say otherwise is ridiculous. 

Yeah, you’re right. This photo has been analysed to death. It’s the time we live in (and the gruesome timeline we’re struggling through). It’s another social media “event” that takes on a life of its own.

Easy

Tax the rich, eat the rich, I don’t care as long as we have fewer billionaires in 2040 than we do today.

Its about creating an enemy to rally an uneducated voter base (for politicians) or solicit donations (religious leaders) with dangerous untrue rhetoric. If people aren’t terrified of the other they will be more likely to see who the real enemy of the working class is.

Maybe we should tax the rich. 

As a preference matter, I hate single stall restrooms and feel so much pressure to get in and get out, mostly due to not wanting to hold up its use for anyone else (although fear of inadequate locks is also a concern). My high school men’s room had six or eight stalls and twice as many urinals, often all were being…

It’s always a great idea to give in to people making death threats. That never leads anywhere dangerous. Nope.

I agree with you generally, but public schools are drastically underfunded in almost every district and state, and they hardly have the money to refurbish every bathroom on every school campus, even if they were to do it slowly.

Yeah, but you know how these folks are. They work to take away people’s rights, but the second those people give any resistance, they act like you came to their home and put a knife to their throat. I once saw someone say to one of them, “get fucked”. That’s it, nothing else. And their immediate response was to say…

I, too, do not see it as violence but instead a glorious invitation to become 'influencers' with a "sneak preview" of Atlantis.

can we just get rid of the ‘community’ bathroom’s? really having single restrooms that anyone can use privately is the best solution for a lot of reasons. It’s also better if there is a plumbing issue, you just take one toilet out of service and not the 4 that are in the ‘community’ rest room...

The kinds of restrictive policies that separate bathroom usage by biological sex are simply ways to create a climate of fear and exclusion for trans people. That’s it. It’s not about protecting women (when has a conservative policy ever really been about protecting women?). It’s not about religious rights (lol). It’s…

I want to say that this is unexpected, but it’s sadly just the end result of where anti-trans politics are headed now, nationwide. Under this president:

Great, now these fucknuts know that death threats work.

Why are we always bowing to these fucking maggots...

Stop capitulating to terrorists, it only encourages them.
