If a woman leader is under 40, she's called "kiddo."

If she's between 40-60, she has too many family responsibilities.

The Venn diagram of folks denouncing a “two-tiered system of justice” today & people who justified summary extrajudicial killing on the New York subway last month is a circle.

Meanwhile, elsewhere on social media: we wanted people to know the backstory on that Woburn, MA police officer who was suspended, let go, and then decertified by the state's Peace Officer Standards & Training (POST) Commission.

Facebook blocked this story for being "against community standards."

A journalist is writing a story about the trend I've talked about before -- defamation threats and lawsuits against women telling #metoo type stories of their experiences.

The journalist is interested in talking to people who've received such threats. If anyone is interested email me. I can put you together with the journalist. I've talked to her and she's serious about the story and has a good outlet for it.

Harlan Crow Bought Property from Clarence Thomas. The Justice Didn’t Disclose the Deal.

The transaction is the first known instance of money flowing from Crow to the Supreme Court justice. The sale netted the GOP megadonor two vacant lots and the house where Thomas’ mother was living.
