One of the most frustrating things about arguing the inequities of the ‘justice’ system is explaining how utterly impossible it is to get an improper conviction overturned. Too many people are too stubborn or dense to understand how fantastically useless appeals court and higher courts generally are. They don’t want…

This makes me think that he was a patsy because of his mental accumen. What happened to the others in this?

I mean it when I say I would get violent if I saw this happening. It would be worth it.

What’s Spanish for “Uncle Tom”?

Some people just can’t be happy unless they have an entire segment of the population to look down on for spurious reasons. This is because they have no self respect and have to look outside themselves for validation of their “superiority.”

I can’t wait for the first sob story on fox about a bridge troll in MAGA hat harassed by the police who demanded to see her private parts because she looks like she could be a man.

I think she told the manager a bunch of untrue stuff and he acted based on it. Where I live, usually when both parties don’t calm down and keep firing shots at each other, both get ejected regardless who was in the right. Either way, it’s astonishing that she was allowed to stay.

No they’ll shout at her to leave my country and go back to Mexico.

Denny’s should be shamed anyway.

He probably didn’t know what the altercation was about and just stepped in because the trans woman was distraught. I would have asked what was going on before acting.

It never ceases to amaze me how Republicans frame trans men and women as a threat because “we gotta protect our girls!” but then women come forward with *actual* men who have hurt them and instead of doing anything about it Republicans elect those men to be the 45th President of the United States or allow them to…

I’ve tried this logic on people who are worried about trans men and women in bathrooms.

People need to follow her around and into bathrooms and shout at her to leave because she is clearly a man.

I don’t advocate violence, but when I do it’s to make sure that anyone who claims to be trans is taken seriously. Full stop. You say you are trans, you are trans. This is not up for debate. I don’t care if this guy had a full goddamned beard. He says he is trans and that is the end of the story.

Bingo! “It can’t be racist if a Mexican candidate is saying ‘Build a wall’!”

I know this is an anecdote from a woman with a cat icon on Splinter but I’ve heard of minority candidates running for public office who have been approached by the GOP party structure to get them to switch parties from Democrat to Republican for the money and support. The argument is: You’re just another black man…

I’ve been told repeatedly that Republicans aren’t homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic, etc., and yet their candidates for high office repeatedly demonstrate that they are certainly comfortable with all of those things.

Since this woman is so sure of everyone else’s body parts, she should show us her vagina to prove she’s allowed to use the women’s room. Or, you know, leave everyone the fuck alone.

When she loses her election she can sign up for Trump’s new ICE division: toilet cops.

I have to wonder if there isn’t some statute about filming in a public bathroom? Wasn’t someone found guilty recently for filming in a gym locker room to fat shame someone?
