Yeah. I'm glad she got this woman out of prison, but everything she's done seems to be so directly tied to personal promotion (not to mention basically ignoring structural problems in favor of individual, camera-ready cases).

Biden ain’t far from that at this point, though I agree that is still better than Trump.

I really think this is why Jameela Jamil is so spot on with her “double agents of the patriarchy” description of the Kardashian/Jenner clan. Even at Kim’s absolute best- i.e. working to free AMJ, there’s the pernicious double action of getting her to shill for her brand- which, however empowering an individual finds…

The young candidates are all Biden style same ol Dems or crypto-libertarians. No thanks.

Kardashian’s hand in Johnson’s release is great. This ad still came across as a very cynical use of activism/empowerment politics for what is ultimately a brand that helps put money in Kim Kardashian’s pocket.

I’ve heard another solution is to just stay home in your pajamas and put your feet up and watch television.

Thank you for remaining laser-focused on sports. 

If I got into an accident of any type and my friend was taking pictures, I would get new friends. This is a new level of tacky for sponcon. 

Pelosi is under the assumption that this is just another election cycle. She is futilely trying to hold on to a center that no longer exists. She is accustomed to her and McConnell going around each other over the same issues and I think she is comfortable with that dynamic. She has grown weak and complacent as a…

TV news is entertainment, not information. Period. It’s insane to me how addicted boomers are to it. I work from home and go to the gym in the afternoon, so it’s usually just me and a bunch of 60+ people in there. About 95% of them put on a cable news channel and watch for the entire duration of their workout. I live…

Same. It was really fucking thrilling to get to vote for Caban. Good riddance to the “Archie Bunker” Queens. 

As a public defender, even though I don’t currently practice in Queens (though I know it well!), I cannot tell you how incredible and amazing this is. This victory is going to radically change things for the better. Tiffany is the real deal - she’s done the work. She knows what needs to be done on a day-to-day level.…

The tyranny of rural white red states against the will of the people continues.  The senate pisses me off so much.  Minority rule is a bad idea (by minority I mean the party that consistently loses the majority vote)

Fuck those people. I paid off my student loans early, because I was in a position to do so (one of the few intelligent financial decisions I’ve ever made). I still think that these are great proposals because they help other people escape crippling debt. We should be looking at how to make the world a better place for…

Re: high-earners with large student debt - I understand the discomfort around the idea of wiping out/reducing our debt, too. And, for sure, the income allows us to be in a less dire place even if we are cash-strapped because of the enormously burdensome payments. But I can affirm that those of us with big debt came…

Real talk: I make six figures but am 40 years old and STILL paying off my student loans, and currently won’t be able to completely be rid of them until I am almost 50. I live in DC and the cost of living here is INSANE. My husband and I do very well salary wise but we have very little in savings and all our “wealth”…

Is the answer nothing? I hope the answer is nothing. Because the cult of breastfeeding is a bit overwrought. Whole eons of human history fed children by breastfeeding. Many cultures still do. Those kids turn out alright, but the mothers are largely conscripted to childfeeding if they couldn’t find a wet nurse. A huge…

Lori Beth Denberg is a damn national treasure and I hope life has been good to her.

Just look at the words used to describe them and confer empathy: “succumbed to pressure” (like they’re super heroic fighting cancer?!), “made a conscious decision to end their lives” (he meant meticulously researched, acquired supplies, gathered children and executed their plan?! Cuz that’s a lot of time for kids to…
