A hearty fuck you to all the men who downplayed this when AOC detailed her experience. The videos are all round terrifying. But, the sing song threat to Nancy Pelosi highlighted how men use gendered violence to specifically menace women. “Hang Mike Pence” is chilling. But the death threat is directed at him for doing…

The reason for the suing, probably, is because of America’s broken healthcare system. Her medical insurance won’t pay out to fix her scalp, she couldn’t afford the treatment before this doctor stepped in, so the only way to be able to pay the healthcare bills is to sue Gorilla Glue and hope they will pay for the…

Really? A quick google search of “teacher fired for racist comments” implies having a teaching degree does not impart any special wisdom. :)

Hope is a good thing! Buying beautiful things with the prospect and desire to wear them I will never apologize for. I’ve found some super cute things in the kids section of Target.

Felt you were too negative...during your cancer.

Katie Porter is the most bad ass of the bad asses.  

Me too! God I love Katie Porter. If she isn’t President in my lifetime I will die very disappointed. Her retelling this story was necessary, just for the assholes who didn’t believe how terrified AOC is.

and what really pisses me off?

I broke down this morning reading a transcript of what she’d said. Things are so fucking broken when people need to plead for others to believe their trauma by ripping their wounds open publicly, and you know she won’t be believed by so many people. Just like the Parkland kids/parents who have to keep reliving things…

I watched this live last night and it was intense and emotional listening to her recount. I can’t imagine some of the details she’s leaving out (she said as much, referencing “I’m not sure what all I can say yet”). I’m glad she’s “okay” in the sense that she is with us and didn’t seem to be physically harmed but I am…

Katie Porter and AOC are probably my two favorite people in congress and knowing they're friends makes me almost as happy as watching either of them tear down some idiot witness they bring on the floor of the house.

Holy shit...holy shit....

J H Christ, I am so sorry you had to endure that nightmare. I love the term “carousel of coverage” -- so apt!

I’ve been with the same employer for 5 years, and they change health, dental, vision, and pharmacy insurances every year or two. They say it is to “keep competitive and keep costs down.” The focus is mostly on the latter, because premiums and co-insurances go up for us, but coverage goes down and we all scramble to…

The best part was “Impeached Part I”

The Twitter Gallery - I had actually forgotten about that magnificent 9/11 tweet. Can a person BE more tone-deaf than that?

I found it over on Boingboing.

Can we make it a not so nice hoity toity prison? I’m thinking Rikers 

Yes, and we need to chase this MF and his family to prison. I don’t want to re-live the same in 2024.

Just do what I’m doing and repeat to yourself: President Biden. President Biden. President Biden.
