That’s literally her point.
With a conservative majority, the Supreme Court gave us the shit sandwich known as Citizens United and gutted the Civil Rights Voting Act. With a liberal majority, it would protect reproductive rights, LGBT rights and the ACA. It would even overturn crap like Citizens United. We need a…

Uh, yeah, that’s the fucking point...
Right? Clinton and Sanders voted together 93% of the time they were both in the Senate:
One million stars to you!
I keep commenting all over the damn place that politics is compromise and as a Sanders supporter I view Clinton as a fine compromise. Their platforms are nearly identical. Where they differ, her position is still better than Trump’s. She has experience up the wazoo and is hella politically…
It’s hardly a gamble. No, Garland is not the progressive WOC I’d prefer. He’s more like another Breyer, who, on most accounts, has been very reliable for a liberal leaning interpretation of the Constitution.
It isn’t fear mongering. It is reality. If the past 6 years have showed you anything, it’s that SCOTUS is really the last branch left in the federal government that can cause real change. Congress has become a children’s day care center where a “good day” is one where nobody picks a fight with someone else such that…
Obama didn’t blow anything up. He tested the waters. It was a politically savvy move to show that the Republicans are just tantruming and it’s working fine so far. Now, they could call his bluff and pass the nominee along but I think they’re going to wait to see how the primaries turn out and how the poll numbers…
People who want to make sure they have an ideologically pure voting record at the expense of real people getting hurt by letting a Republican win really make my heart hurt.
Then have fun with another generation of a conservative SCOTUS.
Since Sarandon isn’t going to suffer the most consequences under the Trump presidency, or for that matter under any general breakdown of society, I would kindly request that she not opine about revolutions here. (Also, as bad as Trump would be, I don’t see “revolution” really being a possibility here. Protests? Sure.…
This is such a wildly privileged opinion. Real people will get hurt under Trump. SCOTUS will be changed. Laws will be passed. The military will be deployed, affecting people around the globe. I get that you want a different political system but this is the one we live in. Don’t throw others under the bus in your quest…
Further reading from a first person perspective:
That she found a much older man isn’t the story here. It’s that the much older man happens to be Jon Lovitz. And that they teased out the big reveal over several meticulously crafted Instagram posts.
...“Lazy Sunday” aired in the winter of 2005. I remember it vividly. I watched SNL cross-legged on the floor of my parents’ family room and watched, mouth agape. It was like nothing I had seen before, but in fairness, I was 14.
I looked at the list of things coming to Netflix this April and felt a hope... some of them are pretty good movies or TV shows.

I haven’t stopped laughing at this
It may be controversial for people to have abortions based on whether or not their fetus has Down’s syndrome, but it should be more than just controversial to force anyone to bear a child they don’t feel they are able to care for, regardless of the potential child’s disability or lack of one. Forcing anyone to bear a…
I used to work for a company that administered guardianships and trusts primarily for disabled individuals. A significant percentage of parents of severely disabled children just can’t deal with it. A significant percentage of disabled children get abandoned, neglected, or abused as a result. And the really depressing…
It mandates that women be required to bury or cremate the fetus post-termination
