I don’t think any of us expected the recount to actually change the outcome, but I do think it was still important because there were in fact discrepancies- there were 3 precincts that admitted to errors with the counting machines and in Greenfield 400 ballots were found that hadn’t been counted. While this may not…

I am both going to agree with and profoundly contradict you here: Ballot Stuffing and Election Rigging Through Vote Manufacturing Is Extremely Rare. Voter Fraud and Election Rigging Is Extremely Common and Indeed Has Been a Factor In Every Single Election Since the Civil War. Suppression of black turnout through poll…

But gerrymandering and voter suppression are very real things that shouldn’t be dismissed.

The UPS driver did the right thing, but this woman is the hero in this story. I don’t think acknowledging that is wrong or snarky, but as always, everyone is free to disagree with me.

Y’know, I am an atheist. I believe that most of TST folks are, too. So I want to get all criticizey on them and say “Hey, don’t use satire to try to make your point, just use honest argument”. But y’know what? Their shit works. And it seems like it’s often the only thing that does, particularly with this sort of…

My step-sister asked me what my religious views are this week. Guess I just figured them out!

I can only imagine the scene after my D&C if some asshole began harassing me to give a bag of tissue a funeral. I’m sure hospital workers are thrilled that they get to enforce this on grieving couples.

Yes, it’s a funeral for a puddle of blood. My further along one was a little more substantial but still not a baby because development stopped so early, as would be the case with many in-hospital D&Cs.

What? An early miscarriage is mostly blood and gunk? There’s no perfectly formed miniature baby to put in a super cute miniature casket?

I still can’t figure out this “occurs at home” exception.

So, on a scale of 0 to 0, how shocking is it that a director’s commitment to “authenticity” requires degrading a woman, not a man?

I’m not american, and I’m just speculating wildly here.. but could it be that the veteran groups that were mobilizing and stated dedication to confrontative non-violent tactics, was the final thing that made the Army Corps of Engineers back out of this?
I am thinking that most military commanders might be very very relu…

To be honest those groups could be pushed aside like they were for months. A third rail type of activist got involved, called veterans, and the cost of bad press from shooting or water dousing or touching a hair on one of their heads is so much higher politically that it made them break. It shows how unequal voices…

So, Austria rejected a far-right candidate and DAPL is stopped. It’s a good day! Let’s hope the results of the Italian referendum continue the pattern...and that this is a turning point after this no-good shitty year! (Louisiana senate seat; recounts and/or faithless electors, pleaseohplease!)

I really don’t get how else you could read this headline.

I am so fucking sick of hearing about this shit. I am truly starting to believe that at least 75% of women who have mental illness have so because of some trauma a man/men did to them. Like, the actual protocol when treating a woman for addiction/unstable behaviour should be, “okay, who abused you and when was this?”…

“I didn’t want Maria to act her humiliation, her rage. I wanted Maria to feel, not to act, the rage and humiliation.”

Imagine having to go back to that set day after day. The director and the star sexually assaulted you literally yesterday, and the day after that you have to go back and listen to their thoughts about what you’re all going to do today. Break time! Go ahead, take some lunch with the guy who quietly stood by and…

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Oh, Sweet Jesus, I know I’m going straight to hell for laughing so hard at this... Although I’m against hurting animals, I’m not even mad at this Australian fella, because he actually displayed proper restraint, doing just the bare minimum to protect his dog. It’s even more comendable if you…

LMFAO! He literally had the kangaroo like “What the FUCK? You hit me?!?! I’m out! NO! I’M OUT!!!”
