“Finally getting out” when less than half of the states have had their primaries. Electoral politics are so fucked 

Joe Biden is a rapist. If that's purity testing, sorry, I'm all for it

I have not yet seen this (because I am holding out on ponying up for yet another streaming service), but am just here to say - there is nothing that cannot be improved upon with the addition of Amy Sedaris. That is all.

Well that’s not true at all:

Look, this is why this shit is a big deal. YA novels aren’t some kind of frivolous bullshit that isn’t worth reading because they aren’t The Great American Novel. If you’re at a university to challenge yourself academically, the Common Read isn’t the only place you can do that, and telling everyone that you joined a…

I am glad, he aligns closest to everything she has done and says she believes. So, cool.

I have no doubt that Clinton is transphobic and adopts TERF rhetoric, but I would not call her a radical feminist by any stretch of the imagination.  Perhaps we need a new term for transphobic liberal feminists.  TELF?

I think Mariah truly deserves her diva status and I mean that in the best way possible. My mom used to work with Mariah’s older sister and it seems like their childhood was bleak and her family (mostly siblings) tried to suck her dry once she became famous.

Fun fact: Jay Z turned down the Super Bowl half time show for similar reasons, and Justin Timberlake ended up doing it instead.

LMAO

Police exist to protect the interests of the upper class and oppress poor people and anyone who signs up for that is open to judgment. And maybe if we had an actual safety net and funded, I don’t know, mental health workers instead, we wouldn’t need cops to do a million different things every day (that they are not…

Bernie wants to cancel my student debt, and per Warren’s calculator I’ll have 140k still to pay.  I’m told this is 90-95% of what I’m asking for.

Just curious.. Why do you suddenly feel that way? Bernie supporter here. Not here to criticize.. But I don’t get this logic. He has outlined a plan on how to pay for each of his ambitious policies (math included). But when push comes to shove she has been propped up as the candidate the DNC now wants and so its…

I think it’s also supremely important to nderstand that sure there are some voters for sanders, just like warren, biden and clinton that are in the cult of personality. However, the majority of pro-sanders supporters are there because he’s the first step to truly henry wallace style left politics in america. He’s…

Bernie has pushed the conversation left and forced those who take the money of rich donors over the concerns and hopes of the people defend their actions. That is the gold standard. We need sweeping progressive reform and we needed it decades ago. The “slow rollout” of change hinted at by the centrists is long past…

I really miss thinking Nicki was a feminist. She very much seems to be the “I got mine” and “he didn’t abuse me” type, if not worse- between this and defending her child rapist brother and repping for/giving a huge platform to known child abuser Tekashi6ix9ine. It’s beyond not caring or giving a fuck, it’s like she…

Few things make me more stabby than “women aren’t funny” attitudes, and I’ve read/heard too many people spouting that lately. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for women in entertainment. 

I was abused by a friend at 14.  I had never even kissed a boy at that point or seen an erect penis.  I didn’t have words to describe what happen and, even now, if I try to describe it, I falter.  My therapist says this reverting to this state is normal with people who have experienced trauma at a young age.

So, I’m just going to say that a child who has endured such a breach of trust from a parental figure is going to be confused, stilted in presentation, inconsistent (funny just like adult victims of abuse) in details. But just like Dr. Christine Blasey Ford said in her testimony to the house regarding her interaction…

“Convicted sex offender” puts it mildly. Kenneth Perry abducted and forcibly raped his victim at knifepoint, the kind of rape that even most rape apologists can recognize as a crime. He’s also killed a man, was charged with second degree murder, and served time for manslaughter after pleading down.
