Is this a court room version of “Would You Rather”?

I am home.

And yet the mayor of Houston has agreed to abide by the Paris agreement.

White men seem to hold onto their victories pretty well.

Like Barbara Jordan? 40 years ago?

June 10, 1972.

Not to split hairs: But Abrahams would not be the first African-American Female Govenor.

I like living on dry land and eating. Is that enough of a reason for me to care about climate change?

I would have appreciated a birth certificate when I miscarried at 22 weeks.

The key word is “offer”.

Actions have consequences. Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences.

My heat breaks for you.

People with disabilities (such as my son or such as myself) also have abilities. This is a CRUCIAL distinction.

The first anatomy scan is performed at 20 weeks. This means that the earliest some women know about abnormalities inconsistent with life is at 20 weeks....assuming she didn’t have to wait until later because of appointment availability or was further along than her doctor previously estimated.

Maybe they can live in it? Like a really hideous tent?

But that’s their CHOICE, see? They could have sent their kids to the evangelical school 30 minutes away OR the public school 2 hours away. Choice!

My son is disabled, has autism, severe PTSD, and has a disabled mother.

SOME parents have choices. For example, parents of non-disabled, neurotypical, gender condemning, Christian children who live in cities and large suburbs have choices.

Let me sumarize: Parents know what is best for their own kids. And sometimes that means isolating their kids from Jews, Muslims, LGBT, black, latino, disabled, or others.

13% more is NOT marginally more.
