I agree wholeheartedly with you and share a very deep skepticism about the damages awarded and how people are drawing conclusions based on it. :/

I’m amazed that people are debating whether the hot pasta in face is the abuse and whether she had a right to feel anger over fear.

God, your post makes me empathize so hard and gives me flashbacks. My dad was terribly abusive to my mom and I inherited his curly hair. One of the standout constant memories of my childhood was my straight - haired mom telling me my curly hair was a “rat’s nest” and forcing a brush through it from root to tip,…

He fathered a son with a longtime girlfriend who also wrote/produced for the show and they didn’t marry until their son suggested it. An ex- girlfriend very warmly joked that the most shocking part of the scandal was that he promised her she was the only person he’d ever cheat on his steady girlfriend with.

Before I go Google it, my recollection of the scandal was that a 20something intern on the show broke it off with her boyfriend, had sex with Letterman (who had recently married his longtime coworker/girlfriend at the behest of their son) and then said intern performed some cringey bit on the show where Letterman…

Perfect. Thank you for posting this.

If you actually look into that case, it was embarrassingly clear that the farmer flagrantly and knowingly collected, cultivated and grew crop with Monsanto seed. He’s not poor and knew exactly what he was doing.

Hard co-sign.

Medicine and science is intensely gender biased. For example, female lab rats are almost never used during drug research. This is because female lab rats often react differently or not at all to drug treatments. So female lab rats aren’t used because you get cleaner results from just using male rats. Female lab rats…

I have heard religious people defending chastity prior to marriage on the basis that “once you know what’s out there, sex with your spouse will only be a disappointment!”

Fetuses can masturbate inside the womb.

I mean, constituents are suppose to provide the consequence by refusing to vote for terrible politicians.

Or like appointing Betsy DeVos as education secretary.

Man, here I thought we needed more grassroots activism to help people understand the importance of lowering carbon emissions and the simple saving grace of our future is just MOAR GUNS.

It worked for Philando Castile!

 Yes, having a gun absolutely kept June’s family intact as they fled a rabid fascist society.

Just show up at your local gun range and shoot both your mouth and piece freely. The NRA gets to count a new member, another firearm generates revenue and you can bridge the divide of minor political differences by being hugely more statistically likely to murder a family member or commit suicide. So much win!

They’re probably trying to figure out how they can somehow funnel all trafficked humans to her sweatshops, both simultaneously claiming they have saved them from a fate worse than death and also legally binding them as slaves until Ivanka dispatches them from her factories. Or something. Shrugsies. I have no doubt…

I’m guessing her dad wants first dibs or something, which is why this is anywhere on her radar.
