I’m just so depressed by it all. Ok, conservatives, have it your way. Unlimited guns, preschoolers surrounded by concealed carriers, no sex Ed, no contraception, no abortion, no affordable healthcare, no unions, no public schools, no food stamps, no minimum wage, more privately run prisons, and more money to the…

Hey, if fetuses were armed with AR-15s, no doctor would dare try to abort them.

His prediction will come true; to his dismay; when universal health care provides free; effective birth-control to every human past puberty.

“If all of us do all we can, we can once again, in our time, restore the sanctity of life to the center of American law,”

I didn’t really think about it, because I’m both an old and a politics nerd, so of course I know who Tip O’Neil was, his general politics, how he operated, etc. But I’d guess most people in my age cohort (tail-end GenX) don’t know who he is, and I can almost guarantee that anyone Millennial and younger…

I would love to get there too, man, and share your cynicism (?). I’m not against the movement; I’m totally for it, but feel it needs a more unified strategy. I don’t want my kids to grow up in a world where people treat each other like garbage for stupid reasons. I’m trying to teach them to be all inclusive and kind…

You know ... I completely forgot that the UCB wasn’t a court. This happens to me a lot. The other day I thought a banana was a dirt bike.

It’s awkwardly put but that is what he’s been doing.

Nah, I’m cool with her staying in jail.
