You know what I can guarantee? Every time we march on him he runs away. We are bigger, we are stronger and we are right. I stood in the heat and sun at Freedom Plaza with people filled with love and compassion. We took care of each other, we laughed, we got angry, we sang. we shared our water and power bars. we had a

My mother was an Orthopedic Nurse for 40 years. These are the people that take care of you when your body is spindled and mutilated. She saw a lot of stuff.
One of her biggest points of anger are people who say Marriage is “just a piece of paper”. Sure, but all your legal rights are written on pieces of paper. They

Well, immediately they broke up she surrounded herself with one of the best crisis teams out there. Starting with Laura Wasser whose real genius is her ability to work the media to force a fast settlement. She is famously tight with Harvey Levin, which is how TMZ used to have the big exclusives told from Angelinas

Dogs make everything better! We have 3 rescues, they are all misfits with something wrong with them, and we adopted the second to help the first with separation anxiety. We got the third because he was returned to the rescue 4X and we knew he would be out down the next time someone dumped him. He is dumb as a rock

The only good thing I can say about Phyllis Schlaffly: she’s dead. Sadly, Anita “I hate feminists and gays” Bryant is still with us. Those women, and others of their ilk, worked hard to spawn the next two generations of mouth-breathing Stepford Wives.

Needles in my lips

Black leaders have been literally putting their lives on the line to protect democracy for centuries with little to no support from White “progressive” leaders, who’ve always been more concerned with their own political careers and appearing centrist to attract right wing voters. Why should this time be any

I went on a “casual sex” type of date tonight and I cannot tell you how relieved I was when he talked about joining the protests downtown and how he’s super socially conscious cuz he’s a teacher and pro-union and teaches in a part of town with a lot of immigrant students that he cares deeply about. I seriously almost

And yet you have no problem working for a man who signed an executive order to protect “religious liberties” to allow so-called “Christians” to deny service to anyone they don’t like (also known as people of color and those who are LGBTQIA). Of all the lies that have spewed forth from your vile mouth, “I always do my

I was thinking this, too. And then, for a sec, I thought we were talking about Tommy Lee Jones. It was a pretty confusing minute or two there.

Crimes against humanity: Unreasonable interment of civilians, unreasonable separation of families seeking aid and relief. Harassment of communities of immigrants and naturalized citizens using terror tactics and threat of deportation and return to unsafe nations. Treating refugees as criminals. Treating children of

Clinton didn’t ever apologize to Lewinsky directly, but that’s beside the point.

Eventually, eventually, we’ll have to concede that the people who back explicitly racist candidates by making explicitly racist statements and advocating for explicitly racist policies might be... racist.

The job is not remotely stressful for him. He works two hours a day. And mostly just tweets.

Because she feels too guilty about fucking Clint the carpenter on the side to ever get as angry at Chip as he deserves?

The Justice Department sued California again on Monday

That was my first thought. I’m an old, and I don’t think I’ve watched a TV commercial in years. Between cord-cutting, Netflix, and ad blockers, I hardly ever see commercials. Trump and Co. are so fucking stupid it makes my head hurt. Scientists and addiction specialists must be weeping right now. We know what helps

Jr.’s friends are reportedly worried about him, say he’s acting very off. Just a reminder, he is the one with the email that was a literal admission of attempting to collude with Russian officials against Clinton. He may know he’ll be going down to save the rest of the family.

Ummm. It’s spelled Nucular. It’s like you haven’t ever met any president’s from Texas before or something. Next thing I know I’m going to have to remind you that it’s spelled potatoe. Only the best vice presidents know that.

to be fair, Chuck Todd is a hack
