Protestors are also alleged to deliberately collide into the volunteer escorts, and sometimes push and shove them, as the escorts try to shield patients from this unwanted physical contact and vitriol.

And the ULTIMATE irony is how opposed to birth control these asshats all are. You’d think that they would be pro birth control and would do everything in their power to ensure that we all have safe access. But no, you would be wrong.

Go-pros are intimidating to patients, who are already facing a serious gauntlet— protestors often film too. Escort leaders did wear hidden cameras to capture some footage, and the clinic has video cameras, so escorts recorded timestamps of events which could be tracked down on the camera. (Full disclosure, I’ve…

Is it illegal for escorts to wear go-pros?

Access to accurate sex ed, birth control, and education in general reduce abortion rates. Not something they’re actually interested in. This is about punishing women and patriarchy. Full stop.

Do they think their “efforts” reduce abortion rates?

I wish every escort and/or patient could wear Go-pros to get good records of this.

Thank you for what you do. For real. I wouldn’t have the strength not to hit those mutherfuckers.

Not to dox myself, but I’ve escorted there. My friend and I joke that our protesters are the kind of people who go to brunch and tip their waiters with bible verses. They always leave before noon, so we assume that’s what they’re up to next.

Some of them are affiliated with local church groups, as Gothamist writes, including Church at the Rock in Brooklyn, Grace Baptist Church in Woodlawn, and Bright Dawn Ministries in Brooklyn.

I just watched the police dashcam of the Castille shooting, and it was just as painful to watch as the original Facebook video. Bottom line, the police officer was WAY out of line, and IMO, wouldn’t have reacted that way were Castille white.

That being said, Noah is only echoing what I’ve been saying from Day One —…

Unfortunatly I totally agree with you. I worked with many Jewish mem who fled from Soviet Union, from Russia, Ukraine or some of the Caucasus, when it crumbled, many literally had post graduate degrees in things like Chemistry but spoke poor English so worked as electronic assemblers, and from everything I learned…

People fail to recognize the extent to which Russians and their government believe the LGBT community is a “Zionist,” foreign NGO-imposed phenomenon. They refuse to believe regular Russians can be LGBT or pro-LGBT. This verdict will merely confirm that gay rights are a foreign intervention into “healthy” Russian…

Man, I love his response. Bless him. I largely stopped wearing Lane Bryant because there are now better, cooler options (stop selling bedazzled sharkbite hem shirts, goddammit!), but the collaborations they’ve been doing are worth a look.

The reason you can’t think of a single instance is that, systematically, this does not occur to white people. Hell, it’s rare for ILLEGALLY armed white guys to get shot. You’re either being willfully obtuse, or you’re ignorant as all hell.

It’s certainly good news to have an official body making this ruling if only to have this on the record. But practically it probably won’t mean much for the situation of the LGBT community within Russia.

I can’t think of a instance where the NRA defended (or argues, or made noise about) a legally armed white guy who was shot in his car by cops.

“Every time I watch that video I just ask myself how ... just how? How does a black person not get shot in America?” Noah said.

“NRA CEO Wayne La Pierre’s speech in 2014 where he stated Americans have, “ no greater freedom than the right to survive and protect our families with all the rifles, shotguns, and handguns we want.”

I think the showrunners specifically addressed this. They said something along the lines of: there’s not much difference between making an all-white show about racists and making a racist show.
