That’s been a thing for decades. DC is the most disenfranchised place in the country.

Please, not even close.

I’ve never known a single iteration of tenure that protects physical violence. That’s not a problem with unions or tenure, that’s a problem with a particular school or a particular union local.

I’m 100% with the unions on this one. Unions provide teachers with due process and protections. The “tenure makes teachers lazy” bullshit is exactly that: bullshit. This is just another right wing attack on public education.

That is not what that piece is arguing. It is arguing that we achieved exactly what we set out to achieve in Libya:

So there are two prongs here, both of which Hillary brought up in the debate though her time was obvs limited.

I feel like to some people they represent this incredibly silly “revolution” he’s promising, and to many other people, myself included, they sound juvenile and cruel in a Trump-ian way.

Actually, it kind of depends on community, both for cost of living and for ability to implement without losing jobs. That’s the whole Clinton premise: That $12 is a floor that wages cannot be under (that means $24k a year vs. the current $15k a year for anyone working a minimum wage job), and anywhere that wants to…

fuckity fuck yes

Hillary Clinton: You can’t rely on Republican-led states to fund your public college initiative.

“Critics erroneously compare Libya today to any number of false ideals, but this is not the correct way to evaluate the success or failure of the intervention. To do that, we should compare Libya today to what Libya would have looked like if we hadn’t intervened. By that standard, the Libya intervention was…

The perfect, getting in the way of the good.

Gawker is not a citable source for political fact-checking.

Actually, Hillary has been quite consistent saying she supports a national $12 minimum wage and higher where possible. And her answer is utterly honest: If congress gives her a bill for $15, she’ll sign it. She’s not against $15, she has a different approach to getting there to accommodate poorer states.

I can’t be the only one who immediately thought “This is an episode of Bob’s Burgers,” right???

This is fucking brilliant.

This is a good comment and also cheers to you for having to sit through Kobe’s last game.

LET’S HEAR FROM THE COLLEGE ROOMMATE, SHALL WE?

I hope things get better soon, but this seems like a weird thing to take out your personal difficulties on. It’s a documentary, not a rejected rental application.

I gotta admit, between the toxic water, the anti-IOC protests, and now the massive popular uprising against the government after the Panama Papers, I am not convinced we’re going to have an Olympics this year.
