Dammit, now what will I do with my e-pitchfork and e-torch?

Does one kid being confident in class really cause other kids (or young adults) to be less confident? It seems to me like one student talking doesn’t really prevent anyone else from talking, unless that student is straight up filibustering. The problem is that those quiet students don’t want to speak up, not that more

You’re a teacher and you think of boys as collective ‘shits’? I’m pretty sure you grade them fairly, with not a smidgen of gender bias.

Well, the funny thing about rigorous study is that you should be struggling with the material. One of my law school professors would stress that all the time. Very few people in this world are so smart that they “just get” really complicated material—chances are you aren’t one of them even if you think you are. So

“My threshold for contributing to class is that I thoroughly understand the material AND have something substantial AND novel to add.”

Good. That petting thing was creepy as fuck.

I know Anthony Scalia is the bete noire of the bien pensant types that write for Gawker blogs, but the man was far more than the arch-conservative stereotype that you will all bang your spoons over. No single Justice was a more consistent defender of the 1st and 4th Amendments (he upheld flag burning as legitimate

I still prefer Bernie though I wish he would let up with the repetitive WALL STREET IS THE DEVIL talk. I mean they are, but enough.

Her candidacy was about fighting the policies of crony capitalism with the help of the Republican Party? Boy she was a worse candidate than I thought.

This campaign was always about citizenship—taking back our country from a political class that only serves the big, the powerful, the wealthy, and the well connected

“Hmmm, women are mad that rich older white ladies tried to tell them what to do. How can I utilize this? ..... Oh, I know! I, a rich older white lady, will try to tell them what to do! That’ll work.”

She’s not totally wrong. Feminism IS about getting to choose who you want to be and to live exactly how you want. The problem is that you also don’t get to tell other people who they get to be/how to act/what they should do with their body.......

Don’t let others define you. Except for when I’m trying to define things for you because obviously that has worked very well for me both on my campaign and in life.

While I suspend my candidacy today, I will continue to travel this country and fight for those Americans who refuse to settle for the way things are and a status quo that no longer works for them.

Noms for Bernie!

I would argue there are only kid’s tables at the GOP debates.

“Twitter felt it was a misuse for a service to be recording deleted tweets, and despite Politiwoops’ three years of existence, resciended its access to Twitter’s API (and therefore Politiwoops’ simple way to record tweets), with no warning and no means of appeal.”
