Thank you for sharing the article and thanks for the support. My online support of Hillary has mostly gotten me lots of harassment and hate slurs like (bitch or feminazi) from bernie’s supporters, so this is a welcome and nice change.

Counting Thursday’s (potential?) debate, the DNC has six debates scheduled. I mean, is that not enough? The people who were going to watch the debates to make up their minds will have ample opportunity. And the Clinton/Sanders debates have not been particularly enlightening, for whatever reason. Perhaps its because…

Being a sore loser and not conceding when he loses, shit talking the organizations when he doesn’t get their endorsements, stealing campaign data, whining about the establishment when he almost exclusively gets positive press and now constantly changing the conditions after agreeing to them - it’s Bernie’s world…

“I sure hope — we’re in Bernie Sanders’ backyard here in New Hampshire — I sure hope he intends to show up in his neighboring state”...“There is nothing worse than a debate about debates.”

I think as of right now, the primary issue here is the fact that the police and media did not use the proper pronouns or name for her. Having her identity erased by them when she is unable to speak up for herself any longer is something that happens all too often to trans people that haven’t been able to legally…

If a woman who looks like this:

I am attorney for a child protective services agency (not Mass DCF)— it is absolutely inappropriate to use a parent’s history as an abused or neglected child as grounds to remove a child, unless she left the child in her parents care knowing they would abuse and neglect the child. There’s a lot about child welfare law…

You can't force birth control on someone just because they have a mental disability.

Yeah, I’ve had “well-meaning” CPS agents remove a newborn from its parents because the nursing staff saw that they both used white canes (and were visually impaired). I’m all for good intention, I’m not all for making assumptions about someone’s ability to be a parent based on a disability.

I agree with your first and third sentences, but the idea that someone with an IQ of 70 can’t truly consent to sex is pretty ridiculous. We know nothing about the IQ or abilities of the man who impregnated her. I understand the importance of ensuring that vulnerable people aren't taken advantage of, but I don't see…

She can read while enough to pass an English state exam but she can’t read an analog clock. To be honest, I know a number of kids who don’t have disabilities who can’t read analog clocks.

As someone who is physically disabled by a genetic condition that makes it IMO unethical for me to knowingly risk passing it on to a child (I had a daughter before I was diagnosed/had any clue), I find this to be just another extension of what I have faced in terms of wanting to adopt. My health precludes me,…

I agree with you, but this woman did everything she was supposed to do to get better at taking care of the baby. The answer for her is not to take her child away, but to set her up with some kind of program to teach, help, and maybe monitor her until she is competent enough.

I think you bring up a compelling case in regard to the ways that parents get discriminated against in the system. I have to admit as someone who worked in the Massachusetts court system including in regard to child protective cases, the practice of naming the DCF worker who did the initial investigation kind of…

After Dana’s placement, Sara was initially allowed to see her daughter for one hour each week with the brief help of her own mother and the supervision of a social worker.

You know, I have been in gender neutral bathrooms and never had a problem with grown men, but I have been in women's only bathrooms and have had problems when some mom insists on bringing her 12 year old son in there and he peeps through the cracks at the edge of the door or even under the doors.

This shit right here is why I’m voting for whoever the fuck gets the Democratic nomination. There is too much at stake for this hyperbole that Hillary is just another republican. Tell that to my uterus assholes.

She looks and sounds so much like Sarah Palin that every single time my brain thinks, “Wait, is that Sarah Palin or Tina Fey? Ok, it’s Tina Fey. Wait, no...maybe it’s not.” Every fucking time. So well done, Tina. Also, I hated the Trump interjections because it seemed to sort of fuck up the rhythm and the energy went…

I smell major bullshit here, and this is coming from someone who doesn’t particularly care for physicians. First off, with the exception of specific cases, if you were incapacitated by morphine, something went wrong in the dosing. Putting aside that no one would jerk off on a patient’s face because hello messy…

But, remember ladies, the real reason there are not more women in tech is because we simply haven’t had enough opportunities to hack hairdryers.
