Blech. Sarandon. Rich, white woman wanting revolution that she can watch from another country while she sips on her martini.

Off-topic, but I’m pretty sure that knife was literally stolen from a Power Ranger.

The reality of these laws is that they’re going to force transwoman (who will resemble women) might be in the men’s room and transmen (who will resemble men) might be in the women’s room. That's going to make these douchebags even more uncomfortable as well obviously as the people who can't use their correct bathroom.…

Yeah, it keeps getting me that laws like this won’t even necessarily target transsexual individuals. Instead they’ll target people who bigots think look transsexual, for however the informant in question wishes to define that phrase.

I’m so glad I live in SF, because I am a very very butch woman, and I am constantly worried that “concerned citizens” might see me in a ladies room and flip out on my ass. I think I can cross off the entirety of the deep south off of any future travel itineraries.

I guess misogynist violence just isn’t a novelty :( :(

I didn’t know this. So he actually targeted that theater because of the movie? That’s some serious bullshit that it's been downplayed.

I’m still pissed off that this shooting, which the shooter admitted was an attack on women, did not get a ton of attention.

I try to avoid republican debates. Instead, I just beat my head against a concrete slab repeatedly. It has about the same effect, but saves time.

I used to be staff to a US Congressman. The next campaign began the day after the election. Smile and dial...

Even NPR let this shit slide this morning without bringing up Anthony Kennedy, or even asking how often the situation had come up before.

Even NPR let this shit slide this morning without bringing up Anthony Kennedy, or even asking how often the situation had come up before. It was ridiculous.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Semi-legit question: Do the Republicans have enough votes to block without everyone coming in off the campaign trail?

Based on the election cycles and the amount of breaks Congress/Senate takes, I’m shocked that anything ever gets done.

Here’s the thing, journalists could actually do their damn job and fact check republicans when they make claims that there is no precedent that a president in his last year in office gets to nominate a supreme court candidate, instead of asking the question like it’s a legitimate idea. I am sick and tired of…
