Um. . . Trump is racist AF and he is a Yankee. He is from New York.

This is making me cry. It is likely that whoever did this was a Moore supporter (not necessarily affiliated with Moore, but a supporter of his positions and agenda). Millions of Americans voted for, basically, returning to the 1950s - well, this is the kind of thing that happened in the 1950s to people who stood up

This is a fairly amazing story. It seems like in all this, Cher missed that it was really about this Kaya person T*&^p picked to be a “Native” representative (not that it makes her response OK, but just of note that she missed that).

Now playing

OK, all the comments here are ignoring the real issue:

Also, it seems like she holding out “no flirting” as a threat or potential negative. No, I go to work . . . to work. Not so some jack-hole can “flirt” with me. Flirt on you own time - no need to do that when I am just trying to do my f-ing job. SMH.

WORD. I had not thought about the ERA for a long time until recently . . and it really struck me that STILL our country does not view women as equal. When I was younger, I thought the feminists of the 1970s had sort-of “fixed” things and there was equality. Boy, was I wrong. And we STILL can’t get the ERA passed!

It is really about bodily autonomy. Do women have the right to their own bodies? Or will the government control their bodies? Should the government be able to force women to go through pregnancy and childbirth? Pregnancy and childbirth often have serious health complications, and, in some cases, may mean that a

Right? You get “due process” before going to jail! None of these men are going to jail - they just maybe don’t get to have the job they want . . . like all the women that had to flee these workplaces because of harassment.

Also - how about men just don’t flirt at work? You can flirt/ date / whatever any other place, but women go to work - TO WORK.

You mean like a person being a victim of a crime and reporting it to the police, instead of “settling the score” themselves?

I have only recently come to understand what “cool girl” means around these parts. The first time I saw it, it seemed to be making fun of women who like Sci-fi and comic books (which is what I actually like, so it seemed like it was making fun of me) - so it seemed like a different version of “Fake Geek Girls” (which

Agreed. I also don’t understand how they don’t understand that for people who aren’t already rich, or come from rich families - we NEED our jobs! If we yell “hands off” at the boss - guess who is getting fired? And we all know that complaining about sexual harassment to HR will likely get US marked as a”problem”

Grassroots activists have take over a lot of the Dem precincts in my state. I am not saying it is going perfectly, but - it is going. Lots of precincts that have not been organized previously have been - and now they get to send delegates to the state meetings (I forget the precise terms, my friends are are involved

I don’t know how it will shake out in the end, but I can tell you that in my state the State Dem party is at least giving lip service to the things grassroots activists are pushing them on. I don’t know if they will stay the course or not - but it seems that they are being influenced by progressive grassroots groups

THIS. There are parts of my state where the Dems have not run a candidate for the state legislature in decades - so of course, those counties where there are no Democrats on the ballot are red counties! The Democrats have not even tried. I am not saying that you can win over everyone - BUT if you really care about

I have lost two friends to suicide, both gay. We all grew up in small towns in the Bible belt, where preachers would preach things like, “Aids is god’s punishment for being gay.” I have never, and never will, forgive the so-called “christians” who convince good, kind young people that they are evil because of who

I am on my second name, but have had this for years now. I have clearly spent too much time in the f/k/a Gawkerverse because sometimes I see something about “Mary, Queen of Scotts” . . and for a split second I think it is about me (pathetic, I know ;-) )

In addition, the call to be “fearless” also seems to imply that you should just disregard whatever threats come your way: just be the fearless “cool girl”, because your emotional responses are invalid and worthless. Being “fearless” here seems to mean “don’t make others uncomfortable by showing real emotion.”

Mostly, just turning up for protests, and on social media. Back in November / December of 2016 I went to several protests by myself, just because it seemed important. A lot of the ones where I am were organized through the NAACP. There are also a number of “indivisible” affiliated groups where I am (although many

Word. That is why we gotta make them PAY at MIDTERMS. All 435 voting seats in the United States House of Representatives and 33 Senate seats will be up for election in 2018. We HAVE to vote our asses off in 2018 & flip congress or we are doomed.
