I’m bookmarking this so that I can use it to respond to every troll who replies “correlation does not equal causation” when I post new science findings…I’m getting really tired of it lately 🙄

The more I thought about what happened to that woman at Dallas Regional Medical Center, the more I thought about Olympic gold medalist Tori Bowie dying at home during childbirth. And Brittney Watts. And Serena Williams. And all the other Black women who have fought to get the care they deserve.

Funny, how MAGA is *outraged* over someone who is simply a Muslim in the New York City mayor's mansion, but has no comment about a Muslim who is an actual murderer in the White House.

Y’all have been counting on our gentle, nonviolent natures for far too many centuries.

Larry Summers & his fellow scumbag misogynists had best not walk alone anywhere women congregate in large groups.

At this point, we’re THISCLOSE to deciding Margaret Atwood’s “particicutions” mightn’t be that bad an idea.
Larry Summers (World Bank/Clinton admin/Harvard president/Obama admin) yukking it up with Jeffrey Epstein about women being dumb and society coming down too hard on perverts makes me wonder how all women are not constantly Becoming The Joker

Stop buying stuff you don’t really need!!!
Imagine walking out of a Walmart, Target or Costco. As you push your large shopping cart to your car, you ask yourself: Did I really need all that stuff?

The answer is you probably didn’t. And now an economist has measured the effect. buff.ly/83lwCak

Even though it really sucks to admit it, I think Michelle Obama is right…a lot is going to have to change before America is ready to elect a female POTUS
Michelle Obama: “Don't even look at me about running, because you all are lying. You're not ready for a woman. So don't waste my time. We got a lot of growing up to do.”

QUESTION: Who is your political inspiration?

SCHLOSBERG: “In the modern era, I love Nancy Pelosi… the most important female political figure in American history… the backbone of the Democratic Party… the reason we have the Affordable Care Act… she deserves a lot of credit for the example she set.”

My quote of the day

In a world where everyone is behaving honestly, any dishonesty constitutes a big infraction. But, in a world where many people are behaving dishonestly, and the news is filled with stories of their infractions, even big infractions can feel small to the perpetrator.
