“The reality is that women are treated differently by society for exactly the same reason that children and the mentally handicapped are treated differently. It’s just easier this way for everyone. You don’t argue with a four-year old about why he shouldn’t eat candy for dinner. You don’t punch a mentally handicapped guy even if he punches...

bradicalmang:
The U.S. Senate voted Tuesday to maintain provisions in a bill that would allow the military to apprehend U.S. citizens, including those on U.S. soil, without charge, and hold them indefinitely if they are labeled as terrorists. President Obama has threatened a veto.
The vote comes after attempts by the American Civil Liberties Union and others to strip the massive National...

So now they have resorted to secretly tracking protestors through invisible, UV light pens. Perhaps they will move to simply tattooing people with an identification number in the future.

Tumblr amazes me on a daily basis. The amount of love and support we show for each other rivals what I have with people I see every day. I was blown away with the donations that we raised for Rosa Sparks and I am hoping that we can do it again.

stfuhypocrisy:
A funny thing has happened when it comes to women’s rights and reproductive choice. The more women are cut off from having access to safe, legal abortion, the more anti-choice protestors’ rights seem to trump everyone else. The right to protest outranks the right for young children to attend their schools without coming face to face with gruesome graphic posters. The...
