what good are bernie’s progressive principles if he cant get any enforced? he’s had his progressive principles for the 25 yrs he’s been in the senate and the 8 yrs before that he served as mayor. he does not have a record of getting shit done. when he votes, though, he certainly is progressive (except for gun stuff).…

it’s not bigotry, dumb ass. if you were in a subway and someone white sat his backpack on the ground and began to walk away, he would get reported. even if he just forgot about the backpack. because people are concerned for their safety and it’s not solely based on the language he spoke. you are an idiot and i hope…

“overly scripted demeanor”? she is no more overly scripted than the ordinary candiate. kerry, gore, rubio, cruz, i could go on. she’s the only one who gets heat for it because of subconscious stereotypes society has that women need to be “nurturing” and “friendly” to be likeable. anything less than that is cold.…

how do you know they dont speak the language? how are you “sure”? are you privy to information i am not? are you assuming it was a white american who only speaks english? you’re reaching

who said the person who reported it didn't speak the language? if you don't speak arabic, how would you know the word "martyr"?

lol. you are so clearly not from new york. let me know when you lose someone on 9-11, then tell me an airline passenger shouldnt be worried when they hear ANYONE (regardless of national origin/language/ethnicity) say “martyr” on an airplane. choose your battles wisely. this is not the one.

i understand that you are jaded, and rightfully so, but rape cases with video evidence are actually the ONLY ONES that get taken seriously. ive worked a lot of rape cases. they are all very difficult. video evidence 1000 x easier for prosecution. survivors still get treated terribly in our criminal justice system, but…

couldn’t she have filmed it without live streaming it, if she was trying to preserve evidence, and let’s humor her, say that she was afraid to call 911 or intervene? if her cell phone is capable of filming via an app, it is capable of filming and saving to device.

I think you mean “Hey, NACDL”

why does it matter who pays them if it is still their own voice? politics makes strange bedfellows.

fine

it’s a monologue, not a dialogue. and equality means treating everyone equally. naive is naive is naive regardless of ethnicity. and i’m a PoC! loosen up. we don’t get a free pass to be ridiculous (although i will take my 40 acres and a mule)

i don’t think she knows what “one person, one vote” actually means. it is a term of art in election law, and it doesn’t mean “campaign finance”. this is so stereotypically hollywood it’s funny. bless her heart.

you clearly do not have teenagers. particularly not teenage girls. with all the makeup, extensions, and spandex/lycra popular these days, EVERYONE looks like they are 18. it is truly very common. (but that is beside the original point. i have no idea if bambaataa would even claim a “mistake of age” defense.)

fairly low quality? girl bye

that’s insulting to boiled potatoes!

“The problem is they are going after the teen because they know the teen could be manipulated more easily.” For true child predators, this is absolutely true. But there are MANY people who are not predators who have sexual experiences with people below the age of consent, and often they do not know the true age. When…

i would add “allegedly” to title, no? hasn’t gawker media learned anything about lawsuits lately?

can you please clarify- he was removed for his “complicated and political” conversation with the airline employee, right? granted, that conversation took place BECAUSE he was speaking arabic (and looked the part). but I have read in several other sources that it was his (understandable) anger that directly lead to his…

can someone also explain to me why majority of jezebel is so quick to believe sexual assault survivors but NOT AT ALL quick to believe people like Yolanda have Lyme (or some other chronic but invisible illness)? Both involve you trusting that someone else is telling you the truth about what happened and is happening…
