There’s a lot of “Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good” posts citing Manchin “only” voting with Trump 55% of the time and crying about purity tests.

“There really was no way out for Manchin on this.”

I work in Independence, OH. It’s mostly businesses, hotels that get spillover from downtown Cleveland, small restaurants and quiet, sleepy neighborhoods off the main strip. The main purpose of their police department is to tend to the petty crimes and fender benders that occur. At times, the IPD makes Andy Griffith…

I just thought about how fucked up our rape culture is that the same excuses meant to silence women of sexual assaults, would not work on any other kind of crimes.
If I robbed someone of $30k, didn’t face jail time, would they say: “I didn’t report it on time, so it’s my fault, I was probably asking for it. So, there’s…

This.  I’m usually the type that gives politicians the leeway to do what they need to do.  But when you’re literally the only Dem - when a Senator in a much tougher race votes no - there was literally no excuse for this, and I honestly don’t care if he loses at this point.  It’s not looking like we’ll get the Senate,…

Spent the first 25 years of my life there. I already know how fucked it is. I figured maybe a single mom from a coal family willing to stand up and say “Hey these assholes are lying to us and poisoning the air, ground and water while they’re at it” was worth a shot instead of letting Joe pretend to be anything…

Uh oh, here comes the Joe Manchin Defense Force Suicide Squad. Never has there been a more pathetic hive of scum and villainy.

What sucks is that we’ve known this entire time about him. I confirmed it when I saw him. We’ve all had bosses, friends, doctors, who were simultaneously white men and either painfully banal, or harboring some deep rooted addiction.

To the person that was trying to scold me a few months ago when I said Joe Manchin was a POS and the Democrats should have backed Paula Jean Swearigan, go fuck yourself.  

To understand the ‘logic’ behind the hypocrisy of the 53 percenters, Susan Collins’ speech is a must read. To hell with the fight against patriarchy, to hell with sisterhood, to hell with intersectionality (women of color be damned)...its all about white power, no matter the polite language. 

She really needs to get that symbol of imperialist colonialism off her head

“It’s not he said she said; it’s he said THEY said”

“I think he is highly qualified for the Supreme Court. I also support all victims of any kind 100%. Like, a lot. Also, Donnie, we still haven’t found the Ark of the Covenant but are digging up the Sphinx later today.” 

Rape culture has always been a part of white supremacy, so no surprises here.

He’s also a reportedly functional alcoholic

I usually give other women a lot of slack but through this whole mess every time a woman I know voted Republican expressed disgust I reminded them they voted for this and remind them they have a choice this year and in two years. This is no oopsie. Only an idiot could hear Republican’s rhetoric and think they wouldn’t…

Congrats 53% White Women Trump Lovers. Enjoy the political sexual harassment to your civil liberties to come, you grabbed pussies, you. 

Collins won’t run for Governor after tasting the heady egotistical nectar of the Senate, where she has infinitely more power and chances to bask in the unearned national spotlight. Maine is tiny. But seriously, I doubt that grandstanding sellout stands a chance to be re-upped in 2020 here. I was at the farmers’ market…

When they say this: “We are committed to reducing the population in our city’s jails in safe and responsible ways,” Koran Addo told the paper.

Yes. I love this! This is what real reform looks like and the Sessions DOJ is not interested in freeing black folks, so we must forge ahead ourselves. People, please donate to this effort in STL and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund which works tirelessly for these kinds of issues in other states, especially the southern…
