I post this a lot but just in case it needs repeating: separating parents from their children, and then adopting their children out against their parents’ consent, is a form of genocide according to the UN.

She is a liar. She has perjured herself in front of Congress and the American people, the people she swore to defend and who employ her.

Sorry to point out the truth, but “both sides are equally bad” and “she took money from Wall Street” and “but her emails” and “bernie or bust” and “she just doesn’t inspire me” did get us here. The courts are gone for a generation; we’re now going to have to figure out a way to work around them.

though I think Kelly is a piece of shit, it will be with interest that I compare the big picture of reaction to his hysterical and angry defensive posturing to the reaction that Kavanaugh’s received. Kavanaugh got A LOT of the “of course he is emotional (not the unhinged, angry, entitled man you think you see),…

The system really is, truly, utterly broken.

“I just look at legal”

This is why I could never be a political reporter. I’d hear a response like this and would just crack up laughing and asking “Are you fucking serious?”

This interview proves his lawyers are not acting in his best interests.

That’s what the Matrix looked like to Liberace.

I believe he can lie.

Ivanka “Americans don’t want handouts” Trump? Color me shocked.

It’s all a bullshit fantasy sold to women that shitty men are complicated and suffering from abandonment issues and you, yes YOU, can fix them by staying with them no matter how objectively terrible they are to you and you’ll never win because if they keep being shitty, it’s cause you didn’t try hard enough and if you…

Except Jordan Catalano was verifiably stupid while Dylan McKay did well without having to try at all.

It’s sick to think about this, but Feldman was probably too old for Jackson to molest. He was already in his teens by the time he got to know MJ, and it sounds like Jackson liked his victims four or five years younger. And there aren’t any public allegations from before 1990, anyhow, so Jackson might not have even…

It’s not surprising MJ didn’t try this with famous children who already had money that people were paying attention to. 

Adding this hour was brilliant. Oprah really managed to connect the harrowing story, carefully told in the documentary, to the experience of other victims; to the millions of child sexual abuse survivors whose abuser wasn’t famous, by showing how the pattern of grooming is essentially the same (ie the story told by…

Please be gentle with yourself. I’m so sorry that was done to you, and I know how hard it is to face it, even after a long time. You are in my heart and my thoughts. 

This is what happens if Amy Sedaris is away from her pet rabbit for too long.

Because she has experienced it and spent a good portion of her career interviewing researchers, advocates, victims and abusers. I have a lot of problems with Oprah, but this is one thing she is actually qualified to discuss and has done a lot of advocacy on.
