I’m in my thirties now and working in legal aid. I would have to have an actual brain injury and total amnesia to see what I see every day in the lives of my clients and turn around and become conservative. If you open your eyes to the reality of the effects of politics on people’s lives, I don’t know how you can…

If your friend was a true fiscal conservative, he wouldn’t be a Republican.

Starred because it deserves to be ungreyed. But I disagree that conservative policies are reasonable about money - see our military spending, the long term cost of cutting funding to health care, social safety nets, and education. It doesn't matter if you save a dime here if you lose a dollar later because your…

The way we continue to treat the people who have been brave enough to come forward is a good way to discourage people who haven’t come forward. With the way the statue of limitations works there is a massive risk that those who do come forward are still in the industry and therefore will lose their job safety or their…

I can't even imagine being in that predicament. I mean to know that these pedophiles are still out there but if you speak out you're the only one who would face any legal issues. That's just ridiculous and probably such a difficult thing to live with.

Yeah, see I’m from the Midwest. (8th Circuit, so FML basically).

But she literally got handcuffed for trying to talk over the judge.

He’s in a room full of lawyers. And sometimes you need to talk over that judge, if only to demand your rights as a potential defendant. Moreover, there is almost always an Administrative Judge who oversees the other judges.

And when the judge won’t let you get past “Your Honor, if....”???

As an attorney, the method for bench bullies I was always taught was to say, “You’re Honor, if you’re going to hold me in contempt, I demand that the charges against me be particularized on the record as proscribed in the Judicial Canon, that a hearing be set on notice of no fewer than thirty days as due process…

Thank you. While I do think it’s important to discuss misogyny and inequality in the entertainment industry, Jennifer Lawrence and her experience is absolutely no comparison to every female in my actual life. I’m so glad this is being discussed. I have worked in recruiting and HR in the past. Women fighting for extra…

And maybe it will help other women in the industry who work behind the scenes.

Making it part of the conversation might help normalize it, and inspire women to start speaking up for themselves in whichever industry or career they happen to be in.

I’ve never been comfortable with the fiction that the reason women don’t make enough is that they don’t negotiate well. There is a god awful deoderant commercial that seems to reinforce this belief as well.

If people are going to begin erasing civil rights leaders because of controversial views they held, we may as well turn civil rights history as a whole into an optional, removable pamphlet in history books.

Nah... not a nut job at all. You people are delusional and think the victims of your atrocities are supposed to be thankful that you’re invading countries and slaughtering thousands of people on the daily (LIKE RIGHT NOW)... in the name of freedom. But when it happens to you, it’s terrorism? Give me a break. Yuri…

Kill a woman’s father and put her entire family in a camp and she’s supposed to do what? Come out and thank you? You people are truly delusional. Yuri was a freedom fighter. Point. Blank. and the Period.

The ones I know mostly support not paying taxes for any reason (even though many are happy to use services like roads, parks, disability and social security) and, of course, FREEDOM.

Maybe its because the Republican party is awash in racism and sexism.

To me the photo looks like a celebration of their accomplishment and commitment to their heritage, as African American women and service members. Graduating from West Point is not a small thing, these women should be proud. I don’t know army regulations, but I think there are moments when rules are worth breaking and…
