I do not know why the most sane feminist place I know on the Internet asks this hater to publish.

His take on Feinstein was disqualifying.

He is such an odious sexist troll.

Go and read his response to her death. It is really truly hateful.

OT: I thought this was the OT, because I am so done already. I did eat lasagna and feel a little better? Pro tip, but fat is a side effect

Every school in this country should have a high school course on U.S. labor history.

NC's legislature eliminated one course (of two previously required) on US History.

They replaced it with a required "personal finance" course that explains the US capitalist system, personal finance, and loans. And says absolutely nothing, of course, about worker rights, unions, and anything beyond GOP talking points on "trickle down" theory.

Wait a minute - maybe there's something wrong with them! Why else would you get lemons for free? Are they cursed? Diseased?
