DNC: Ugly, but “rigged”?

November 3, 2017 By Charley on the MTA 38 Comments

Breaking the bubble

January 17, 2017 By Setti Warren 19 Comments

ONCE AGAIN, I am asking @massgop candidate for Secretary of State Rayla Campbell (@RaylaForMA) to tell us who told her child this. #mapoli

.@RaylaForMA, accepting party endorsement at @massgop convention, tells crowd: “You can’t just sit and say … ‘That’s not so nice.’

“I don’t think it’s nice when they’re telling your 5-year-old that he can go and suck another 5-year-old’s Dick. Do you?” #mapoli

Thank you @leung for the opportunity to share our story. No one should be forced to leave Massachusetts to access compassionate abortion care.

Christian dominionists think God sent Trump to "save" the US as a Christian nation.

The Majority wants majority rule in a Republic that respects minority rights but does not enact minority rule #mapoli #hnpolitics

MP Arizona@AzPetrich

Sooo, an Oklahoma bill would fire teachers for "offending Christian morals" by teaching biology. WTH?
