The gender pay gap is real. It affects women at every level of every industry, and it’s far more pronounced for women of color. So we absolutely don’t need to rely on faulty statistics to bolster the case for paying women what they deserve.

Western legal systems start with some ideal of justice, but they all become corrupted to favor the rich.

A “threat of violence” isn’t a crime in certain contexts, aka non-specific (against an individual) contexts. Common hate speech is generally Constitutionally protected if it isn’t specific; no “imminent danger”. That also seems to apply to nooses, which may be general hate towards black people but not towards…

I for one had no idea there was such a council. Anyone else? In all seriousness though, this council was founded by Bill Clinton and is most remarkable for not meeting very often or providing any significant advice to the president that was not already offered by say, the Surgeon General, FDA or any of the countless…

Even though the history of literature is filled with novels and essays and memoirs about the asylum, many of which were written by women (Virginia Woolf, Leonora Carrington, Sylvia Plath, Charlotte Perkins Gillman, and Alice James), those works are unusual.

It’s Delmas’s diagnosis that Joyce cites in the letter, “cyclothymia,” Joyce wrote, a mental disorder that mimics schizophrenia but without its duration or intensity.

There is a very clear response of one part distract, one part ignore, and a dash of whataboutism.

If you can find a comparison to teh far-right media ecology on the left, go ahead nad present it. That’s a false equivalence, and anyone not actively promoting misinformation for political purposes can see it.

I looked the Village Voice on Google Maps and they do have an office on Manhattan. But I doubt they own it - if they’ve been burning money for years, then one of the previous owners probably sold any office space they owned and leased out a place for them.

(Bonus: a very young Dave Chappelle!)

I was wondering if that was the case, as I thought their offices were on Cooper Square, but it appears not.

There’s gonna be another Jewish holiday eventually and Jared and Ivanka will be gone for the entire day and he’ll finally get the chance

It’s a beautiful Catch-22.

It’s funny, you’re the only one providing actual information here instead of just speculation, but everyone ignores this to just babble on about whatever they think the motivation might be. This is just crazy, how do you let members of your royal family be caught while falconing? Maybe they need bigger, stronger birds…

I see no cosplay. If you’re referring to the angel, they were used to shield funeral goers from hateful protestors last year, and were crafted by the Orlando Shakespeare Theater. As you can imagine, the arts community was hit hard by the shooting. They were used for a similar purpose yesterday.

Police unions are behind “blue lives matter”, and they are explicitly political.

I’m not so sure about that. They confirmed Scott Pruitt and Betsy DeVos. I don’t trust them to do the right thing with regards to AG either. Especially if Trump leans hard enough on people.

Firing Sessions would definitely backfire... Not that we can expect any of that to factor into Trump’s decision.

Um, that was my point exactly... How did you not get that? I was just saying that this could have been so much worse.
