I hope so, but as a resident of his district (I know I know, we’re working on it), I would be 100% unsurprised if nothing but a couple more minor scandals like this come up. He’s exceedingly boring and seems to have latched onto the Trump train to bolster his career more than anything.

I didn’t realize that Obama requested that Iran attack the US. Oh, to be a microwave on the wall of those meetings.

I have a theory that the Department of Agriculture wants to limit SNAP payments for fresh produce, in order to steer SNAP monies to processed food manufacturers, as a gift to the high fructose corn syrup people.  It’s why conservatives all thought giving the poor a box of canned goods was a dandy idea, rather than

No. He’s good friends with Jeffrey Epstein, defended Epstein, and has been accused of sex with an underage girl. His response was that her statements weren’t under oath. So, the victim submitted a sworn declaration to the court. 

Oh, God yes. If people don’t understand that forcing women to give birth whenever they accidentally become pregnant is part and parcel of a corporatist and military/industrial strategy, they are totally missing the point. All anyone has to do is the following thought experiment: What would happen if suddenly nobody

“If you think ICE is racist—is Congress racist because they enacted these laws? Think about that for a minute.”

he’s trying so hard to wish his whole family into the corn field...

So what the fuck is the individual citizen to do? I’ve lived beneath the poverty line most of my goddamn life and I’ve barely enough resources to support my family. I live in AK (a Red state) so I know that my phone call to Murkowski was just a waste and the only thing I’m doing when I argue with my Red neighbors is

Let’s go Nazi fucks. Bring on your whataboutisms and “They shouldn’ta oughta broke the law” bullshit.

I strongly believe this question is generational, especially if you’re in possession of a vagina: When you’re, say, 18, the city is AWESOME and sex is pretttttttyyyy shitty, but as you get older, those things start to reverse, so that by the time you’re in your mid-thirties, you’re approaching your sexual prime just

Change your name, you fucking suck (a lot).

I think about this everyday. On the outside I am a fairly successful attorney/writer working in nonprofit in DC. I volunteer, I went to law school as a second career late in life. I travel extensively and I’m a photographer who takes pretty good wildlife shots.

It really speaks to the need to destigmatize mental illness. Whether it’s situation depression or a chronic disgnosis, it’s part of the human condition and admitting that only makes it easier for others to talk about their experiences and realize they are not alone.

Saffo said she and Andy Spade tried to help Kate check into treatment centers, but that she never went because “the ‘image’ of her brand (happy-go-lucky Kate Spade) was more important for her to keep up. She was definitely worried about what people would say if they found out.”
