Hello, there. Elder Gen X. Neurodivergent crone. I try to be kind, but I'm often cantankerous. I am committed to trans rights. If you aren't: fix your heart. Let's call these assholes what they are: fascists. Native Bostonian in the boonies.

An average American who "borrows" money from the till at work still gets fired, even if they pay it back.

BREAKING: We're hearing from a member of the WSU faculty that a notice went out a few minutes ago saying the TORCH conference we covered in this story "will not proceed this weekend as planned." Reasons for this are unclear, as is whether the event has been cancelled or merely postponed.

The Megyn Kelly Show
@MegynKellyShow

@megynkelly: "If you were violently gang raped repeatedly over the course of an evening, do you think it would take you three weeks to call campus police? ... The delay, the chatting with friends, and the decision to go to campus police says a lot to me."

Readers added context

Kelly herself did not report her own sexual harassment by then Fox News CEO Roger Ailes for over a decade. She repeatedly spoke positively of him in the interim before finally reporting his unwanted sexual advances.

The Constitution allows it. South Korea has proven it works. If you want to make impeachment viable—and so much else is pointless if you don't—then it can be done by a simple majority adopting a simple rules change: vote on the verdict by secret ballot.

A Democratic Senate Should Adopt Secret Impeachment Ballots on a Priority Basis
Such a change, requiring no constitutional amendment, would free senators to vote their judgment instead of their fears

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

The problem with pacing is that it requires you to make decisions based on the behaviour of Previous You, the needs of Future You and the wildly unrealistic ambitions of Present You.

None of these women are cooperating.

TIL there’s a fish that lives in the lowest depths of the Congo River that has stunted growth, no color pigment, and no eyes. And locally it’s called “mondeli bureau,” which translates to “white man in an office” LMAO

If we had a real political Left in America we would have a Democrat candidate who ran on Total Medical Debt Forgiveness and they would win in a LANDSLIDE. Nobody should "owe" for healthcare in a country that's actively subsidizing most of the reasons we get sick and injured. But the Dems are OWNED
