A lot of the comments I’ve read on this article and the previous one about the marijuana reparations one keep making me think of the “Can You Not” PAC, which has as its stated goal, dissuading people from positions of privilege from running. The focus is on white men, but you can extend that to us white women. Yes,…

Ehhh...

It makes a difference if it is the oppressors shutting out the oppressed, or the oppressed shutting out their oppressors.

Craig Gurian, the executive director of the Anti-Discrimination Center in New York, offered a blunt (and perhaps obdurate) defense of New York City’s public accommodations law: “To the extent that there are workplaces or public accommodations that have inappropriate behavior, the solution is to fix those workplaces or…

But what should they have done that would have been more effective, both in the short term and come midterm election season?

Hopefully it pushes whatever undecideds away from Le Pen, but her base hasn’t really been wavered despite the fact she’s using her MEP immunity to dodge a corruption investigation (but she hates the EU!), or that her campaign is financed by a Kremlin-associated bank, or that her economic policies (ditching the EU and…

I honestly don’t think it’s too harsh a sentence... as someone said above, HIV will be around in someone’s body for a lot longer than 30 years, if it doesn’t kill them first.

I laughed at the meme: Happy Holidays because #allholidaysmatter

The dog was relieved that it was only a spring training game. Besides, it had been 13 years since going to a Phillies game meant a trip to the Vet.

Planned Parenthood has prevented more abortions by providing birth control and women’s healthcare than any jackass right wing group ever has. Fuck those jerks.

Man, he’s gonna be pissed when someone reads this article to him.

Reading any Twitter feed with “FOP” in the name is really hilarious until you remember that these people are charged with enforcing the law.

I blame the department and let me tell you why. They praise rookie officers. They’ll go around making a 100 arrests a month, and they’ll praise them. These rookie officers will do anything to get an arrest because they want more praise, you know what I’m saying? This is the result of it. They arrested Gray for some…

Because I know that someone in the comments will talk about how dangerous it is to be a police officer, just wanting to come home alive, etc.

It is more dangerous to be employed as a landscaper in America than it is to be employed as police officer. This is a fact that is true and is verifiable.

Thanks for touching on the issues with teens. It's often ignored that the addictive, and dependence, while minor, is higher in youth, and can have an impact on development on a developing brain. Most studies are, for obvious reasons, conducted on adults, but the few studies that exist on teens show some signs of…

violating my rights is an outrageous act of tyranny.

This is a little off-topic, but... I had a friend who showed up to my father's funeral wearing jeans and work boots. Because that's what he wears for his job. He took his lunch break two hours early so he could come and pay his respects and I thought it was lovely. He made an effort to be there for my family and we…

Truly. This is a good thing for many citizens. Stop and frisk is a terrible policy that maybe (but only maybe) slightly reduces petty crimes, but the effects of the increased "policing" only engender more mistrust of police, swell jails and prisons, and disproportionally and unfairly target low-income, minority…

I'm fine with the slowdown. Keep it up long enough and we can decrease revenues from ticketing poor people, trim the budget, and fire some cops. Start with any that have had excessive force complaints.

Well, I'm guessing that the employees weren't given a choice as to whether they wanted to work those days or not and they aren't being given sufficient extra pay (if any at all) to work those hours. I wouldn't have a problem with it if there were enough employees willing to work those hours for the extra money and…
