I love so-called progressives who act like this isn't a thing that happened. 

Back in the day the unspoken reasoning was that Evidence of Female Sexual Activity was harmful for young minds. My grandmother was a teacher in the 30's and women were automatically fired if/when they married. By the time Warren was teaching, they’d probably offer some blather like the troll below about “workplace prod…

It’s me, a school principal who writes down “Fired this one for being visibly pregnant” down on all official paperwork, like one does.

Pregnant women are still getting fired and their bosses are still covering it up.

No one respects anything you have to say and you should consider that before you ever post again.

Having seen the inner workings of more than one school board, I have observed that schools routinely “fire” teachers by getting them to resign. The reason is very simple: if a teacher resigns, the district doesn't have to deal with the union, especially if the district accepts the resignation "with regret" (and a cozy…

So... further proof that Elizabeth Warren fucks?

It’s a feature, not a bug. The goal isn’t to help victims (or even defray the costs of the state’s criminal justice system), it’s to keep Jim Crow laws alive without admitting they’re Jim Crow laws.

Versus what? Rushing into things screaming bloody murder and have it go nowhere? Would that make you FEEL good?

The very act of pursuing impeachment is a political one. She understood that. All the moral certainty in the world is meaningless if the public doesn’t support it. Her job is running and retaining the Democratic majority in Congress. She understood the difference between pursuing impeachment with the public behind it…

Hmmm...maybe Congress can do two things at once. I know, hard task considering what we have to work with. The impeachment proceedings/subpoenas/etc. can keep chugging along over here while the NAFTA replacement chugs alongside on a parallel track. And another piece of legislation can chug along on another parallel…

Pelosi “won” on impeachment by waiting and protecting her more moderate members until the situation presented itself in a way the general populace could get behind. Not saying we’re there yet, but something real may come of this in a way that would’ve been impossible had they pursued this six months ago. Both against…

Fucking a right here. Something Kim Kardashian could do, instead of help one fucking person she saw on Instagram and act like she changed the entire system.

This all day. When this barrier to the implementation of the voting restoration act was first brought up, it was mentioned that the restitution would be in the neighborhood of $1.5b. What would it take for a single billionaire to drop that coin with a team of lawyers and subrogate a final settlement cost at probably 60…

I come from the field of construction, so I know a few things to about the ADA too. I fully recognize what a pain and investment it can be to follow these rules, yet I cannot imagine that should trump a person’s ability to live their lives in public. There are a lot of people who say the same things you’re saying…

All the major desktop operating systems and browsers already provide many assistive technologies for visually impaired users. Also, to the best of my understanding, companies that manufacture operating systems and browsers cannot be sued under the ADA as the software in and of itself is not a public accomodation as…

Out of an abundance of caution, though, I’m going to guess that Hezbollah is the president now.

It is not communism or capitalism. Its the unique melange that is Authoritarianism and fascism combined with intense single-party based corruption. Otherwise economic warfare is, historically, China’s preferred kind of warfare.

Simple: The capitalism stops when people call Xi Jinping “winnie the pooh” And they’re not really communist either... totalitarian capitalist.  Basically a modern version of the emperor days.  They can call themselves communist all they want but there’s no communal sharing for the good of all happening here. 

Shut up, tomato.
