You sound like a really good teacher. 

He kept his mouth open during spray-tanning. Actually, come to think of it, wouldn’t that shit get you just as f’ed up as huffing paint? 

I vote for George, who emailed it from KA’s email address.

The hair/lip combo is what’s getting me. 

She should have taken out his plastic surgeon instead. 

No, he’s not a garbage person. He works really hard and cares deeply about poverty and inequality. I happily voted for him for many years, and recently ran into him at a charity function where he passionately defended (in front of our Republican governor) the need for MA cities to retain their sanctuary status and…

It is newly disturbing to me how white mothers (like me) are able to to draw on this status to get what they want. I was at a ballot initiative meeting last night with a bunch of “progressive” white moms who immediately started throwing around words like “traditional family values” and “preserving our community”—all do…

If I were a Microsoft worker concerned about children of migrants who were taken by ICE, I might perhaps use my access cloud-enabled predictive analytics and data to find those kids that are still missing. Just sayin’.

I think about this a lot. My great-uncle was one of Mr. Rogers’ teachers in seminary. He was a true, progressive Christian minister, as were his brother (my grandfather), my father, and many many others that i grew up with. I am at best an agnostic these days, but I have so much respect for the doctrine that these men…

Anyone else feel like this is a Red Wedding situation?

These stories have been so painful to so many of us because for women and people of color the baseline is “you’re not good unless you convince me otherwise” while there is a tacit understanding that men are good unless there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary. The rumor mill always hurts women more, the whispers…

I agree with you, but there’s also a real crisis going on in terms of BOP staffing. I wonder if Inch thought he might help fix this augmentation problem if he removed himself: https://bit.ly/2sfss51 

There’s a lot more going on at BOP than just this little skirmish:

Yeah, what are you up to, big shot? How many political institutions did you save today?

I accidentally posted up right near the 2nd Amendment assholes in Boston. The riot gear cops surrounded them in a circle. Immediately outside that circle was a group of elderly veterans for peace who sat in a ring around the counter-protesters and refused to let the cops or the pro-gun assholes move into the crowd.…

It’s amazing that you’re friends with her. I first learned of her via the Russell Simmons mess and was intrigued by her family tree and all the directions it grew in.

But your question isn’t germane to my point. I didn’t say the Democratic party was favoring idealism, I said that people like you are insisting on a purity test that would shut out more centrist-focused candidates that voters in their districts want. If Lamb had lost a primary challenge from the left due to the…

It was not- I don’t want to dox myself by saying too much but it was a relatively small invitation only meeting.

She was really lovely— in a room full of people pretending to be a LOT more important than they really are, she was down to earth and very smart.

God, Soledad O’Brien just wins on Twitter, day after day. I met her last summer at a conference and she was just great in person, too.
