Resist. Persist.

Resist. Persist.

“Nevertheless, she persisted.” You’re goddamn right she did, just like countless brave women and men who came before Senator Elizabeth Warren and laid the foundation for the ground she stood on when she took the Senate floor. I’m not sure Senator Mitch McConnell realized that his attempt to silence Senator Warren would speak volumes to […]

New on Broadway:  Patriarchy–a Play

*slow light fade* Morons everywhere: Patriarchy is a made up construct so feminazis have something to complain about !! (Except it usually comes out like “fuck you, you fat, ugly bitch”–because it’s hard for them to say “patriarchy” and “construct”) Liz Warren: *tries to read a letter about a man who is nominated for US […]

A Well-Regulated Uterus

As disturbing as those issues are to me, I want to focus on an important, but unspoken part of the pro-choice/pro-life dialogue. That is, women bear the overwhelming brunt of the condemnation when it comes to abortion and bear the most responsibility for birth control in general.

#WhyIMarch

Oh!!!!! The Women’s March was stupid because you, personally, have not felt oppressed — so it’s obviously just a fake problem made up by whiny millennial babies having a tantrum because we are sore losers? Cool. But guess what? I don’t know anyone killed by a drunk driver, so that must also be a fake […]

Dumba$$

Hi Middle America, poor white people, and everyone else so mad that the world was no longer favoring just you and your shitty circumstances, that you voted for a maniacal egomaniac—it’s me, your liberal, elitist, east coast friend judging your dumbass choices. I used to feel sorry for you, but now I’m vacillating between abject […]

We don’t need no education

As a former public school teacher, I loved nothing more than having an administrator, with NO teaching experience, come into my classroom with a clipboard and a checklist to tell me how to do my job better. I mean—if it’s on the checklist, it must be easy to implement in a classroom with 25+ students […]

It hurts when they boo–the art of hypocrisy

It hurts when they boo–the art of hypocrisy

Great news friends, we live in a post-truth world. Honestly, I thought it would feel more freeing than this, but really I just feel like Mugatu (played expertly by Will Ferrell in Zoolander):  “I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. I INVENTED THE PIANO KEY NECKTIE!!!” Donald Trump made a name for himself in the […]

The Rise of the Alt-Reich

The Rise of the Alt-Reich

President-elect Trump’s appointment of Steve Bannon to a senior White House position has generated significant media coverage, and increased the attention on a group that was deeply involved in propelling Trump to the presidency–the so-called “Alt Right.” Make no mistake, the alt right’s ideology is dangerous—plain and simple, full stop. And, when I refer to “their ideology,” I’m referring to their self-proclaimed positions.

Buckle up, buttercup—it’s time to march

Buckle up, buttercup—it’s time to march

Tuesday night, November 8, 2016, it became clear to the millions of Americans that the country they thought they lived in, the one where women, people of color, members of the LGBTQIA community, and people with disabilities were considered actual people, was just an elaborate illusion created by the “Matrix.”

Wednesday, the 54% of women who voted for an intelligent policy wonk, with years of relevant experience, a spine stronger than steel, and an actual plan, woke up to the new reality of a Donald Trump presidency, and also to a terrible hangover. As it happened, in a shocking twist, the group complaining the loudest about the “trophy generation,” and the delicate nature of millennials who demand “safe spaces,” were the ones who needed the most hand-holding, and when they didn’t get the exact amount of love and adoration they were used to, they opted to show their displeasure and voice their grievances in the only reasonable manner available—they cut off their hands and threw them at Democrats. Hillary, they claim, did not understand their specific needs, or if she did, she didn’t cater to them exclusively. They didn’t feel included in her message. They weren’t the most coveted group, and that hurt their feelings. This of course begs the question, who is the special snowflake now, middle America?
