CA law has protections for tenants who are victims of domestic abuse. It includes removing an abuser from the lease/home upon order of the court. A move out order can be presented to the landlord, and then the landlord would need to terminate the tenancy rights of the abuser.

You forget the first part of extortion:

scrotus?

There are some rallies in the Bay Area, but the majority of the women I know are working because we work in the non-profit legal services field, which means our clients’ crises go unchecked if we don’t show up. This could have a real impact on low-income women.

I have. It grossed me out. They were other women at the gym post-swimming, post-shower. I could not ever do that.

not only do women’s restrooms have stalls, there has been a restroom attached to every locker room I have ever been in my 32 years (middle & high school & every gym). There were lines for these stalls in school b/c many of us were not comfortable with our bodies. I would imagine young transgirls would feel even more…

This actually made me cackle. Babette and Lumiere are obvs fucking — that was never a secret, even in the animated film.

Did anyone catch in her full write-up that the HR rep was also a woman? Fucking disgusting.

Well, the thing about injunctions (preliminary, permanent, TROs, etc.) is that the standard requires the consideration of the public interest, as it is one of the factors to be weighed. Public interest often is public opinion, as it is in this case.

Rational basis is generally the lowest level of review, but they were trying to argue this other even lower standard should be applied.

Is this actual snail goop? I am a little horrified.

Honestly, we’ll need to pay more attention to the nominees for assistant secretaries at HUD — that is where real policy will be made with Carson at the helm. There could be some very shitty people who will destroy fair housing enforcement.

The dude sucked, but he wasn’t an evil narcissist who cared nothing for his country (his VP was evil, though).

I think real life now entails a tweet most Saturday evenings/Sunday mornings about how much SNL sucks.

I plan to be starting a new job in the gov’t instead of watching — and I will walk by his fucking photo every day, and give it the finger every.single.day.

SJ or SF. I stopped protesting in Oakland because of the small contingent who like to ruin it for everyone :(

Or they’re just refusing to play the game & won’t participate in making the bill this would have amended even remotely worthwhile.

THANK YOU! I did not like La La Land. It was slow, too long, and not particularly engaging. I was bored.

TLDR NYT article...but NPR said last night that the evidence portion of the report is classified and wasn’t released?
