rare coming-of-age movie about the strain of growing up poor

That’s especially weird considering she has a white grandmother. If people had been successful in shaming Barack Sr. and Ann Dunham from kissing, we wouldn’t have had a President Obama or a Malia.

In the afterglow of Thanksgiving, I’d like to take a moment to be thankful...Dear Lord, I’m thankful that social media did not exist when I was that age. I’m thankful that I never got herpes or a DUI or even a bad tattoo. I’m not sure how I managed that, but thank you forever and ever. Amen.

Talk to me when it’s discovered she colluded with the Russian government. Amirite Kush and Donny, Jr.?

I prefer to think Andrew Cuomo doesn’t exist therefor I don’t have to be reminded what a shitty governor he is.

Thank you! Another voice of sanity coming from the Left! Enfranchisement, Getting Out the Vote, and speaking to people about the stuff they really care about! Always responding to DJT and his hired goons is not going to get us anywhere.

As an avowed socialist to the Left of Sen. Sanders in a host of respects, I say we move on from the election. There’s no good to be gained from continuing to focus on Sec. Clinton’s campaign. Yes, there were unseemly dealings made in the DNC on her behalf, but it behooves us very, very little to continue to…

Yeah, wish there was a different messenger here. But it’s definitely not making me feel any less righteous fury at everyone involved in the fucking Clinton campaign.

Yep. I have had it with Donna Brazile. Her passing of debate questions to the Clinton Campaign was beyond unethical, and she can be directly implicated in a number of failed DNC initiatives over the past decade. She’s a party hack.

Rich Juziak is a condescending douchebag to any fellow queer who might differ in lifestyle - god forbid a gay man want romance and not brooklyn loft bareback sex parties that we have to read about because Jezebel editors seem to think women have an interest in gay male sex addicts who self dscribe as sex positive and…

To put the disgraceful deal given to Whitefish into perspective: Whitefish, a two year old company whose largest electrical engineering contract to date was rewiring a museum in Newark, NJ, got a $300,000,000 contract to rebuild part of Puerto Rico’s electrical grid. Meanwhile, Fluor Corp., the century old…

You can’t even rent golf carts for $57000.

By declaring the opioid crisis a “National Health Emergency” rather than a “National Emergency”, the funds available are only those in the HHS emergency fund (rather than the virtually limitless funds Congress can allocate under a “National Emergency” declaration).

No one believes victims of sexual assault. Male or female. Young or old.

I didn’t think they ever went away... not from the stories I hear from my friends.

Yep, exactly. Rich’s last piece on teens and HIV back in July nicely dodged this point in favor of ‘yay, sex!’, and this one isn’t any better with the one line throwaway (“At sex parties themselves, by the way, STIs are rarely a topic of conversation”).

I’m gay. I’m not a prude. This is gross.

Yeah, I also don’t like porn and am uncomfortable with how the industry treats women and the effect it has on young men and their expectations of women and sexuality. All that means is that I don’t watch it, and think steps should be taken to assure the performers are treated well and not exploited in any way. The men…

I actually have my own thoughts on porn, and do believe the mass majority of “popular” porn is degrading to women. I do not enjoy it. But here’s the thing- I just choose not to watch it. I don’t make laws out laying others to partake. If it is legally produced, all actors are of age and legally consenting, well...…
