As a current NC resident (in a very progressive city—yes, we have some!). I I hope to god he’s out. From jailing protesters, to handing cookies to women furious over abortion rights, to passing the heinous HB2 at night in secret, this guy deserves to go down as a one-term governor. He doesn’t care a flying fuck about…

Honestly, I think it’s super brave for people to explain their experience, and I think we benefit by being honest about mental illness, rape, etc. But my problem is that often the therapists are awful. Outing myself as a reality tv lover here (Teen Mom, ha!), but I’ve seen Dr. Drew give appalling advice to victims of…

It’s crazy though how many teachers might buy into this. I taught middle school back in the day and I had students who were destitute (as in, owned at most, one pair of pants), and they would wear torn clothes. I was supposed to force the child to go home or to dress them in the lost and found clothes. Even though…

I’ve heard that tv personalities make THE BEST presidents. ;)

I’m bewildered by the whole tv therapist phenomenon. Any credible therapist would never allow this to happen on television, so why do people even look to this as a credible thing?

That’s probably got some real truth to it. I mean, the President has a way higher clearance level than others. I have no doubt he found out some sobering shit and realized that this wouldn’t be as easy as being the host on The Apprentice.

I want THIS America.

She particularly likes “Mrs. O’s” great speeches!

Yeah, I know. I’ve been paycheck to paycheck forever (let’s keep it real, with student loans I always will be), and I think most do. The fat that they idealize and perceive themselves in league with a billionaire who had NO IDEA HOW THE WORLD WORKS, is something that is so beyond me.

Look, you are sadly misinformed, bro. Republicans routinely take rights away. If you can’t stand on the street corner and scream racist shit, that’s not the fault of Democrat Fascists (also, look up what an actual fascist is). That is society progressing beyond YOU. You can be smug because no one will take your rights…

Decades from now, historians will look back and wonder what fucking idiots voted for someone who espouses dictatorial views. I sincerely hope you feel the same mad pride at voting Trump so people can mock and judge and hate the shit out of you. You are worthless. You are hateful. You are the past.

...and they voted someone who hires foreign workers. I honestly don’t get rural poor voters. I grew up in a family like this. All of them benefited from Democratic values and policies but they voted Republican. And all these poor workers would have benefited from minimum wage increases, unions, and maternity care. But…

Last I read she didn’t give a speech last night. I hope she never does.

I live in NC, and I can tell you that I just don’t think the message was out that you didn’t need IDs and so on. Where I voted (a very liberal part of the state), the site had one sign hidden in the corner saying no IDs. But so much of the awful measures that were repealed just got buried in the onslaught of Trump…

Now that the smoke has cleared, it looks like Clinton won the popular vote. Yes, I know that doesn’t mean a lot because of the electoral college, but this is the 2nd time in 16 years where the popular candidate was ousted. It’s reeeaalllly time to re-consider, for instance, how much fucking voting power Florida gets.…

<3 Love this so much. I teach and my students (who are only about 12 years younger than me!!) are always shocked when I tell them that girls my age routinely quit high school to marry (this just being in the early-2000s!!). Their minds are totally blown when they understand the centuries of sexism and lack of voice.…

I’m ashamed to admit that, growing up in the 90s, when men *and* women joked that a woman could never be president because “that time of the month she’d be too emotional,” I never batted an eye, and I was a girl whose role models were Elizabeth Blackwell, Susan B Anthony, and countless female novelists. I’m so proud…

I remember back when I lived in a really hick-ish part of the US that all the backwards people I went to school with would use her face as Target practice...back in 2004. I was horrified then, and I’m beyond horror now that politicians sanction and champion this kind of rhetoric. In reality, none of them have the…

I sincerely hope he loses the race. This campaign against his component (a woman!) has been heinous, as he claims that she’s pro-pedophile/sex offender.

Yeah, I hadn’t gotten to watch the episode yet. Bummer :/
