This is true. My husband and I have seriously researched it, and it’d be a hard, if not impossible, task. We have no known family up there, our skills aren’t specialized enough to be sponsored by employers, and my husband has a felony from when he was 26. DUI. So, not looking good. But we are looking for a way out.

Can’t disagree with any of that, and I’m sorry for your friends’ losses. I had forgotten about those remarks, she’s not someone I follow. I just thought “the folly of youth.”

You know, I listen to Pod Save America, and for a while there, I appreciated their insight and willingness to call bullshit. But when they have folks like Schumer or Pelosi on, and almost always lately, they are repeating left talking points without much critique. They save their critique for the obvious shit on the ri…

More “how dare you” but your point is excellent. They keep writing the rules.

You make my day.

She’s only 19 or 20, I think. I’m sure this is a PR event for her, but at her young age, I’ll allow it if it brings attention. More mature celebrities, like Britton, should be more circumspect in their reasoning.

Thanks for sharing this. I quit twitter months ago for mental health reasons, and this almost made me re-join in support. I didn’t, but thanks.

In my experience with farmers, you are utterly correct. They are an incredibly small-minded, insular community who have a particular snobbery about their own wholesomeness as being “real, REAL, American.” I know some others who are more hippyish and progressive, but the old family farmers, they are conservative to the…

Amen. This is way too far, it was too far with the “rapists and murderers” from the campaign. I’m so proud of these folks and plan to stand along side them.

This is abominal and this is a sick country. I’m arranging time off to go rally and protest. I can’t take this anymore.

I got told I must think my farts smell like rainbows. I was so flattered that they thought that was an insult of how much better I was than them!

Comments sections, obviously.

That sounds like a miserable person. I hate myself.

I have a professional account that my assistants monitor, so I understand that sometimes we have to join in the fray.

I deleted my Twitter and Facebook accounts, and have experienced withdrawal, but am a happier person for it. (still not happy at all, but on a scale of quiet desperation and utter despair, this counts)

Heros. And they should get all the praise they deserve and others should model themselves on their persistent, relentless action.

For those who want to attend the march:

This is true for me as well. My husband kept a lot of stuff from me for years, and we shacked up within a month of dating, very whirlwind, love-of-my-life sort of early relationship. 9 years on, I now have to decide if I can live with things that I wish I’d known a lot earlier. Therapy has helped, because we do hold…

Right. This is the part where they choose not to know the reality of the other’s experience. Unless they are sociopaths, they know what they decide they don’t want to know.

Ditto.
