I don’t think she’s an innocent party in this matter. I’m just rolling my eyes at the idea that she should be chastised for not answering questions that were designed to harass her and produce sound bites for the media. She’s not disguising any relevant information by giving “no opinion” answers because the case isn’t…

Lord knows I loved making people uncomfortable in depositions, when appropriate, but this is kind of over the top. Whether or not she thinks her husband “acted with a lack of integrity” during their marriage isn’t relevant or likely to lead to any admissible evidence. If you’re gonna harass a witness, at least have…
Tweets like Charline McCray’s make me tear up and my heart swell a million times larger. Can we pause all the fighting on the left for a moment to appreciate what a historic precipice we’re standing on? If we nominate Hillary, we become the first major party to ever nominate a woman for U.S. President. And if she win…
She looks fierce AF in that second pic. Glad her legacy will live on in her work.
That’s a cool story. I’m not being sarcastic.
It’s weird to revisit this time period as an adult. All the despised, vilified women of the period are speaking out: Marcia Clark, Monica Lewinsky, Anita Hill. I feel like my childhood had an unreliable narrator.
“FEWER of those errors”

This is such a wildly privileged opinion. Real people will get hurt under Trump. SCOTUS will be changed. Laws will be passed. The military will be deployed, affecting people around the globe. I get that you want a different political system but this is the one we live in. Don’t throw others under the bus in your quest…
Also there is no such thing as early April Fools’; you get April 1 and that is it.
That karate anecdote really hit home for me. Karate was my life from ages 10-16, when I finally got my black belt. However, once thrown into class with the other black belts, most of whom were men in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, I quit within six months. Why? Because they made inappropriate and sexist remarks about my…
You rest assured that this could never happen to you or anyone you know because you are all “responsible gun owners. Clearly this woman was not and has never been a responsible gun owner, or this never could have happened. Of course, up until it happened, they’d have furiously argued that it wasn’t possible for her to…
So if I’m your typical 2nd Amendment fanaticist, how do I process this story? Is it just like reading about someone who didn’t buckle their seatbelt and got in a car accident? Do I think: “That’s unfortunate. She should have made a better choice.”
Similar to a woman that was shot with her own gun by her small child in Idaho a while back, except she died. All of her friends and family kept repeating the same mantra when they were interviewed by the local news, “She was a responsible gun owner”. None stopped to think what that meant about “responsible” gun…
That’s great that she is empowered by her body. I just wish she was empowered by something other than her looks.
“I don’t want her to grow up in a world where she is made to feel less-than for embracing everything it means to be a woman.”
I really do love her message here... but it doesn’t erase the discomfort I have with the way she and her sisters are selling this image and definition of “woman” as something SO totally far from the natural state of woman. The pounds of multi-colored contouring make-up, the waist trainers, the diet pills... It’s like,…
The scene in this episode where Miranda is trying on a shitty black bra for her shitty black dress for her mother’s funeral and the saleswoman busts in on her always makes me cry.
Yet (know many may disagree) - this is also part of the hopeful potential element of Hillary (who yes, also has flaws).
She is *very good* at fighting fiercely in lawyerly ways. With a tide turning and some momentum, stuff could *get done*.
Can we also get a shout out to Dahlia Lithwick and her sharp, comprehensive SCOTUS coverage? For years she has done a great service by distilling frequently dry and convoluted supreme Court arguments for Slate and I think the internet is a better place because of it.
Crying and clapping!
