This is what happens when people think just electing the president is enough. You end up with Ryan and McConnell holding pregnant women currently or in danger of contracting Zika hostage to get to defund Planned Parenthood.

Wait, there are states that don't have mosquitoes? Floridian asking.

And this is why you have to show up to vote in 2018 when we don’t have a sexy Presidential race on the ballot. Congress matters.

Here’s a grand idea: name it Brock’s Law. Make sure his name is directly associated with this law so it’s never forgotten what he did and got away with.

This is kinda me being a pedant but I do think it’s actually an important point.

Sadly probably not, because the people who think BLM is racist think the SPLC is racist too.

All the people trying for months to claim BLM was a hate group, are so pissed right now.

Because of the constitutionally-protected rights to free speech and free association.

I totally understand what you mean. I’m the kind of person who listens to NPR instead of Top 40, you know?

I’m 51, and my guess is, it’s getting worse. Respect for science as a discipline and scientific findings is not (in my opinion) what it was in the 60s and 70s - Scientific findings that informed the EPA’s decisions in the early days were not questioned like now. Used to be, funding for the National Science Foundation…

Some Astronomers think that, although the life is probably prolific in the universe, the chance of two advanced civilizations overlapping each other is infinitesimal. The universe is so vast that whole civilizations like ours could have lived, evolved, and been wiped out before we ever even came around. So even if…

The chances of civilizations of similar enough lifeforms at similar enough stages of evolutionary and technological development and similar enough forms of sentience, and similar and broad enough frames of reference for perceiving non-natural patterns in data, and both seeking that simultaneously... I think those…

Or they could have existed a billion years ago or a billion years in the future and we’d never exist at the same time.

I guess I technically believe in aliens. Our universe is fucking massive so it’s a little presumptuous to think Earth is the only planet to have the right mix of sun and water to sustain life. Depending on where the “aliens” are in their evolution they may be more primitive than us or they could have been around…

So rape juries are entirely composed of people who don’t know that rape is a thing? What the actual fuck?!

Pretty much anyone who’s ever been sexually assaulted or done anti-sexual violence prevention work is deemed “biased” in sexual assault cases, and dismissed from the jury pool due to their supposed inability to be “impartial”. They have to call 2-3x as many people for the jury pool on a rape case compared to normal. I…
