Be careful what you wish for - Angry Spice could get canned and we would end up with this creepy fucker.

If you look at the filing itself, Section II (Jurisdiction and Venue) explains why the federal district court is the appropriate venue for this claim.

While I am happy at this news and hope that the loss of advertising will pressure Fox News into removing this smug asshole from the air, I am less impressed that the ad buys for those 14 advertisers are being “re-expressed into other FNC programs.”

Oh, man. I love how messy and big Susan B. Anthony’s penmanship is. It isn’t dainty or fussy. It takes up space and looks quickly scrawled.

There are definitely legally recognized ways to establish who would care for your child in the event that you could not. The exact way of doing that would very state-by-state. Luckily, the child protection laws are pretty clear that there must be preference given to any “kinship care” options available to the child.…

Another way to be a good neighbor to a family with mixed status is to be willing to be a part of their emergency plan. Ask if there are any phone numbers to call if you notice ICE activity at their house (lawyers, friends/family who will take custody of the children, etc.). If there is no plan, and it is an…

So many mass shooters have domestic violence backgrounds. Considering how dangerous abusers have been proven to be, time and time again, and how dangerous “domestics” are for police officers, you would think that there would be a much more coordinated response and that the shelters and agencies working to prevent…

You didn’t quote the legal definition of terrorism. That looks like it came from a dictionary. The New York State Penal Code (Part 4, Title Y1, Article 490) defines an act of terrorism as one which is intended to:

You bring up a really salient point. The filming location does seem to indicate that this movie is interested in exploiting the Flint crisis. I wonder if they have even hired any of the people actually affected by the crisis as consultants or writers.

The judge here isn’t ruling on the merits of the case. This is a ruling on the temporary injunction requested by CAIR. A preliminary injunction merely maintains the status quo (in this case, the status quo of no Muslim ban) while the case is making its way through the courts. The standard of proof for an injunction is…

There is a certain sort of person who cares about their alma mater to this level. That Rick Perry is that sort of person does not surprise me.

I believe there is a typo in your first sentence. Richard Spencer is eminently punchable, not imminently so.

Even worse, as victims/survivors of domestic violence that occurred in the US, these immigrants would likely qualify for legal status via a VAWA self-petition or U Visa application. So, if these ICE agents are trying to arrest survivors that are not otherwise deportable (and even if they are otherwise deportable,…

I love my credit union. Most of all, I love that when I call the customer service number, a person picks up. No computer menu or routing, just a person. And I have never had a problem that the first person to pick up the phone was not empowered to fix. The customer service is fantastic.

My understanding from a fantastic comment above (http://deadspin.com/as-a-justice-officer-in-the-brazilian-judiciary-system-1793247398) is that he is not appealing his conviction, but the length of his sentence. He is only free pending his appeal and will likely return to prison after the appeals.

Wow - you can practically see his impotent rage in that signature. He signed that shit with an angry flourish.

Apologies to the court in advance in case there was a ruling on this that I missed, but Michelle Obama’s messy bun and casual outfit at the inauguration: shade?

This entire piece is fantastic. I would be interested in a stand-alone piece on your experience in the abusive relationship. You have described clearly and succinctly in this post one answer to the “why didn’t she just leave” question that is so often unfairly asked of survivors of domestic violence. I work with…

Also, the library systems in some large cities are available to the citizens of the entire state. For instance, anyone in PA can get a Philadelphia Free Library membership, and anyone in NY can get a New York Public Library membership. My local library system in Scranton, PA is excellent, but also having access to the…

Many thanks, Greta for putting this so simply and clearly. Especially “... today wouldn’t be today without women.” Tomorrow won’t be tomorrow without you, and I have more hope for tomorrow because of what you wrote.
