I was frustrated that the article didn’t dig further into the fact that the SFUSD program was intentionally created to work with counseling services so if the issues with chronic truancy were related to neglect or homelessness or lack of transportation or a parents’ substance abuse, those services could be provided.…

Seems like new Dems are throwing their hats in the ring daily at this point. Harris seems to have a lot of bad baggage. I think we’ll be ok to call her out on it.

I was a prosecutor in Upper Marlboro for around eight years, several of which were in Juvenile. I didn’t do adult truancy much - the Juvenile Chief handled them, primarily - but I handled some of them when she needed help. My time in Juvenile was the saddest in my career, watching these young people who desperately…

If Jezebel becomes the daily Blow Job for Bernie, like Gawker was in 2016; I’m out.

Oh my God...

Honestly, I didn’t know that it wasn’t okay for people to treat me that way.  That came with time!  One time I was at Walmart buying diapers (because even though I felt bad shopping there, it was so much cheaper and I was broke) and the cashier asked “exactly how old were you when you had your daughter?”  When I…

I had my daughter when I was relatively young (24) but I still looked like a teenager (not a humble brag). I would see people watching me struggle with a stroller, diaper bag, and toddler on the bus, train, up stairs, at crosswalks without ramps, etc...and no one would help. I always felt that people were enjoying…

It’s funny. When I was pregnant, people would (usually...not always) fall all over themselves to give me a seat on the train, or to help if I dropped something or just generally send good vibes my way. Now that I’m just a mom, and the baby is outside of me, people can’t be arsed to help with I’m clearly struggling to…

Watching Rent as an adult is kind of like watching The Little Mermaid as an adult. I still find it enjoyable, because I love the songs, but mostly I’m just questioning why people thought they could get away with not paying rent in NYC, and feeling kind of bad for Benny the whole time. Yea, I know he made an agreement…

I have no objection to HRC being President. I voted for her. I would vote for her again if it came to that.

A shutdown will give a lot of cover for House hearings and Mueller indictments.

I ran into some idiot at the bank who was bitching about how we needed small government. Then he bragged about how he’d never even met a federal employee in his life.

This should be all the evidence anyone needs that Trump is a danger to the country and needs to be removed from office.

The more he shuts down government, the more people who fall for the “we need small government” line realise just how much they need a functional government.

He killed his girlfriend, he killed his girlfriend’s father, he killed his girlfriend’s brother, he killed his own mother, he killed his own father, and then he tried to kill his grandmother.

Everything about this is so sad and hideous. I kept thinking about his father, having to use his dying breath to tell authorities that his own son shot him, and is still on the loose. What a desperate way to die.

He drove up to his grandmother’s house with his gun pointed out the window of his vehicle and he’s still alive. #WhiteGuyPrivilege. This is the real national emergency, not immigrants at the border seeking asylum.

“authorities called a “boyfriend [and] girlfriend type of dispute.”

I can’t say anything that hasn’t already been said about domestic violence and how we continue to fail to take it seriously enough  

I remember when I heard the announcement that he was playing Ted Bundy my first reaction was “Yeah. That casting makes a lot of sense.”
