And in other news, Ms. Winner, the NSA contractor whose only crime was handing over a dossier of papers describing the extent and detail of how the Russians hacked and changed our elections, has been denied bail because she is considered a danger to society. This had been your misogyny and fascism report for this…
I’m sure throwing her in a concrete box for years and stripping her of her humanity by treating her like an animal will work wonders. Because that’s all we have for her. Then we can all use our shocked face when she gets out and gets in trouble again. I’d call it a justice system, but at times it feel more like a…
Thanks! Unfortunately, the courtroom restrictions on recording/transmitting/who can leave or stay in the courtroom aren’t ideal for putting together thorough stories quickly; any/all typos are accidents. So thank you for being understanding and not just leaving the more common “typos, you suck” comment.
She’s a friend of mine and by all accounts is doing a great job. Credit where it’s due! Thanks for the coverage. I’ve really enjoyed your pieces on this case.
Someone please correct me if I’m wrong. So his defense isn’t that Cosby didn’t drug and sexually assault multiple women. It’s that he did it, but he didn’t think he was doing anything wrong (legally, ethically, morally, etc.) because he thought they all wanted it in that manner? (Never mind the fact that Ms.…
I want her to receive justice for herself and all of those who never will.
Andrea Constand is so brave. And what I got from her testimony is that Cosby spent a long time grooming her. His fixation on the fact that she had an involuntary orgasm when he violated her is disgusting.
Sexism, too. My daughter is 9 years old, just finished fourth grade and she told a boy off for snapping her bra strap and he told her he can do anything he wants to her because the president said it’s okay—girls have to let him.
I had never actually wanted to punch a child in the face before until the day she came…
Not doubting your story because I know Deaf and hard of hearing folks who are rabid Trump supporters, but there are a lot of ASL signs and classifiers that can look similar to a Nazi salute if the signer is only using one hand or is being more casual or if a viewer doesn’t have the full context of the communication.…
This pisses me off too. All teachers have to say is just because a group of adults voted for the president if he or she doesn’t act in a presidential manner we shouldn’t listen to them.
Understanding and interpreting statistics is an incredibly important and useful skill. Thank you for at least trying to teach them about that.
At my daughter’s school someone scratched swastikas into a few desks, and my daughter jumped to the defense of a good friend who was called a terrorist. Her friend was crushed and didn’t know how to react, but my daughter told them off.
Thank you for all that you do!
This was the first year my kids’ grade school did not hold a mock election, bc our amazing, award-winning, Black principal made the wise decision not to go there. Our school is very integrated, mainly lower middle class with a smattering from a wealthier area. My kids are Asian, adopted. Kids of all races apparently…
Wasn’t the whole point of the Lord of the Flies that when the adults wage war the kids will too? I think what we seeing is that if adults act like assholes, kids will too.
I teach at an HBCU and I had positively delightful conversations with my students throughout the primaries during class. It got more nervous during the general and then, of course, turned into a full on therapy session the day after the election, but I’ll remember those primaries as some of the most fun I’ve ever had…
That was. THE. Best shutdown on one of these shows EVER EVER and forever shall be!
You know, I don’t care what you think about this show, because it’s not about winning. It’s about the world! And you don’t even know what the world is!
People actually comment in message boards about particular shows just to talk about how they don’t watch that show. What’s wrong with THEM?
