100%. There is nothing she could do to appease the right-wing trolls arguing in bad faith, but there are lots of us on the left who reasonably find her inability to clear the low bar of “The Nation of Islam has done a lot for me and Pastor Farrakhan has done a lot of good for the community, but his anti-semitic and…

As I do not wish to be held responsible for the words of others when my own history shows that I stand in opposition to them, I also do not think it is fair to question anyone who works with me, who supports my work and who is a member of this movement because of the ways that I may have fallen short here or in…
It’s kind of impossible to separate the outrage at the mere announcement of the cast and the final product, the former most certainly had an effect on the latter.
I didn’t let myself get dragged into it but my uncle (lives in Baltimore, works in D.C.) was arguing on Facebook that she should just take a loan out from the credit union, like “normal” people do. Yes, she will make decent money for at least two years. But maintaining two residences in two very expensive areas is not…
Both government banning head ornamentation and religion enforcing it is really dumb.
A total ban on all religious anything would disproportionately impact minority groups.
They are in Socal - San Diego. Your first paragraph is spot on.
“The only conclusion is that Americans think of themselves as rich.”
It took 1o years until Mr. TeaHag and I had 15K free and clear in savings...and it promptly became a down payment on a house after I borrowed 1k from a friend for closing costs!
How was Beto a victim of his own fame, exactly? He was never expected to beat Cruz, but ended up coming painfully close and gaining international attention.
It’s just another thing men need explained to them that women already know: the cost of being a woman is WAY HIGHER than men. Men can wear the same suit and just change ties (like that anchor in Australia who did it for a year and no one ever noticed!) and that’s it. Women have to have OUTFITS, hair, makeup, nails,…
It takes years of building report and working together to get that.
Why do Baby Boomers refuse to mentor talented, up and coming people, and then get the fuck out of the way and let someone else have a chance?
I’ve come around to the idea that Pelosi and Schumer are the best possible choices for congressional leadership for the Clinton administration. But that didn’t happen, and “bipartisan deal-maker” is a skill set that is not going to be very useful for the next 2-6 years at least
You nailed it. There is no good reason that there isn’t a deep bench of women who could take up the speaker mantle right now.
I don’t think those two are mutually exclusive positions. You can understand the political reality, and ‘call out’ people when you want them to move further left. That’s a part of how you build progressive movements.
“Now, she’s an avowed centrist, and has voted for bills backed by Trump 60 percent of the time, including legislation that would crack down on crimes committed by people who entered the country illegally.”
If you have a pregnancy that “qualifies” for a midwife (uncomplicated, i.e. no serious medical complications known in advance and not twins, triplets etc), then it’s an option for anyone in Ontario who has access to a centre (they’re located in major urban centres only I think), and it’s all covered! Hospitals are…
Just what I was going to say. The poor thing is freezing. He looks like he has normal male genitals, which is what should be expected. The weird thing is how our culture makes male sex organs so mysterious, an aspect of the unhealthy, unbalanced assumptions about gender and sexuality. Good for Chris Pine for…
