White folks really need to stop getting the idea that they are the best allies ever, because they seem to forget being an ally also means being vigorously and repeatedly challenged, questioned and not trusted. And there are no fucking headpats, cookies or chin rubbings.
100%. I think Kamala Harris put the final nail in that coffin. Now Californians know what new blood sounds like and looks like and feels like. I’ll most likely vote for anyone who is left of her in a primary. Especially since (fingers crossed, wood knocked, hokey pokey done backwards and forwards) Kamala will be…
“She’s had the letter since late July. And we all just found out about it.”
To the troll below (and yes, I know he’s a time waster), the DNC is currently investigating Keith. Personally, I believe his ex-girlfriend, and I think he should be ousted from the DNC. Can you find me any Republicans who oppose Kavanaugh? Is the GOP intending to hold an investigation into his “alleged” rape attempt?

I am a survivor of middle school sexual assault, and I can tell you with certainty that this woman is not exaggerating when she says it still seriously impacts her life to this day. There are still times when I smell the soap my rapist used (which thankfully isn’t often) and go momentarily back to that place. The only…
60 women from high school have been friends with him for 35 years? I only follow 5 people from high school on Facebook.
I don’t know how all these five dozen women who knew him in high school knew him, but they certainly weren’t classmates. Georgetown Prep is an all-boys school.
“...here’s a signed statement from hundreds of kids that Sandusky DIDN’T molest. So on average, he’s a decent guy.”
snark appreciated.
You didn’t have all of your traumatic memories erased on your 18th bday? Must be a regional thing.

I’m just gonna take a wild stab at it here. bear with me.
Sorry for going off-topic but Paul Manafort has plead guilty to avoid his second trial and will be cooperating with the Mueller investigation as part of his plea deal
