The only thing the AHCA has proven (other than Republicans’ complete disdain for their constituents) is that Republicans do not understand anything about how insurance works. At all. It is infuriating, and this story is heartbreaking.

Dragging them isn’t the proper response, however. The fact is, the pay to work with children needs to be high, so credentials & background checks, & constant accountability can be justified. Right now, pay for working around kids is abysmal, yet the very parents who hate being around their own kids themselves, are…

Soapbox... As someone with a horrible family history of colon cancer, get your preventative colonoscopies (if you can afford it, obviously)! Too many people are putting them off because they’re “icky.” So is death and leaving your loved ones behind! My dad, his siblings, and Chris (in the story) all had colon cancer…

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuck iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, Nazi fucks.

Get Mexican food at an authentic, non-chain Mexican restaurant. Chipotle is yummy, but it’s not really Mexican food. Support the real thing at your favorite local spot.

It’s Cinco de Mayo; I promise you that Trump is going to be a very popular Pinata this year, as he’s the biggest antagonist to minorities and a extremely unpopular President... who is also terrible at his job.

Amen. I’m with you. Gone are the days when I thought “well they’re probably okay, they just prioritize things differently than I do.”

So sickening. All of those fuckers are so EVIL it takes my breath away. I’m supposed to meet up this weekend with friends who are Republicans. They didn’t vote or support Cheeto and are horrified by him but I know they still support the party in general. I’ll have to ask them how in the hell they can still support GOP…

I posted this is in the initial AHCA post, but there were 600+ comments so I’m sure it got lost. I just wanted to share my experience today in DC because it was so utterly sickening:

In all seriousness my dad told me that his grandmother said the only reason women got back out of the house after ww2 ended was because of the freedom of sanitary napkins.

Fucking pants; the downfall of society right there.

Thanks :/ Somedays it seems so impossible. Not just for me, but for like basically everyone struggling in America who doesn’t have the opportunities they should.  

It makes me think of this quote by Elizabeth Warren:

Next we’ll ask for pockets!

Ooh! Ooh! This is my favorite:

“Learn to figure out when a hoot or a holler is indeed a form of harassment and when it’s merely a good-natured tease that you can give back in kind.”

Fuck her. Fuck all of her bullshit. 99.9% of women wouldn’t get a call from fucking Vogue and even have the option of turning it down. She’s so fucking privileged, she can’t even see past her own plastic nose.

“Your life’s happiness begins with you.”

I would have so much respect for her if she’d just had the guts to make your one line her entire book. Hey Ivanka, we don’t resent you for being an inherited wealth kid like your dad. We resent you peddling that as some sort of life skill you earned.
