If she wants to write a book and give the proceeds to a prison reform org then great. If she’s just doing it to further enrich herself off her crimes, then she can fuck right off. Her book will sell, and she can use her platform to do some good. Yeah, it would be better to get a POC’s perspective, but people pay more

Well actually, he didn’t say women are inferior or anything along those lines. He just described an accommodation that would need to be made to allow for more women on the board. Needing to restrict speaking times to allow the participation of women is no different than providing tampons in women’s restrooms. It’s

Hawley is a senator, and Nancy Pelosi is the Speaker of the House. She can’t really do anything about him.

Yeah, in actual reality the administration has said the exact opposite of what this post claims.

They won’t quote Biden or anyone in the administration saying anything like that because they haven’t said anything like that. There’s nothing inherently wrong with meeting with the handful of GOP senators who are at least somewhat interested in providing additional COVID relief. 

I want to make more accounts just to give this more stars.

Hopefully the attempted insurrection will be a wake up call for some of these lunatic-enabling cowards. I’m doubtful, but crazier things have happened (like a mob of white supremacists overrunning the Capitol building).

Yeah, he’s a piece of shit due to the policies and politicians he supports not because he’s effective at it. The hypocrisy over Garland pissed me off, but only idiots actually believed it was ever about principle. To be honest, if RBG died in 2008 and the Democratic senate majority approved a Bush appointee for

Whoosh...

Both sides are obviously equally wrong. Republicans for trying to protect corporations that hurt people and not providing enough support to the people who need it, and Democrats for not accepting whatever pittance Republicans deign to offer them. See? Equal.

You can plainly see the projection in their little fascist brains. No one is going to arrest you for misgendering someone; they’re going to think you’re an asshole.

Exactly! What biracial girl born to immigrants in Oakland in 1964 didn’t eventually become vice president? Talk about being born on third base.

In what fucking universe do you have to live in to think being a black woman in America is some automatic rocket to the top of society!? Harris was the second black woman senator in US history. She’s only the fourth woman to ever be on the ticket of a major party, and only the second African American (3–0 BTW) No

His problem is that he has different demands in different states, so there's no underlying legal theory for the Supreme Court to adjudicate. It's just piecemeal BS. 

The nightmare may be over, but we're going to wake up hungover as fuck. 

My knee-jerk reaction was to think this was a bit over the top. However, I can’t tell people how to feel. Are kids going to automatically think people with limb differences are evil? No. But how many heroes or protagonists out there have limb differences? If a character has a disfigurement, what’s the probability that

Let’s be real. Preservation has nothing to do with why people people are playing an actively supported system online via emulation. 

It looks like Biden will probably win, but the results of this election are fucking depressing. We had record turn-out, and a lot of those people were apparently really jazzed about the way the GOP shat the bed the last four years. Their COVID response alone should have sunk their election chances. It doesn’t make any

I wonder if this still works because I’m pretty sure that I saw Amy Coney Barrett consorting with the devil out in the woods the other day.

I want to be clear that I really like the good supernatural stories. There’s a fine line to hit spooky/creepy without sounding like complete fiction.

I also may be a skeptic, but if I watch The Grudge or something, you can bet I’m looking out for ghost heads popping out of my closet in the middle of the night. It’s fun
