When you discuss the wage gap, here are a few things to keep in mind:
Only white women make $0.77 to a man’s dollar.

Latina women make about $0.58 to a man’s dollar.
Intersectionality matters.
And men of color make less than white women.

let’s not freak out just yet, alright? There’s still time to stop this, and we must do all that we can to do so!
I believe we can win this.
I mean, we stopped SOPA and PIPA, right?
I have a bad feeling that SOPA and PIPA was a one-time thing…the internet is like a child with severe ADHD, it can never concentrate on something for long.

I hope Rick Santorum creates an awesome Powerpoint presentation for school, but when he brings it in, the font he chose isn’t compatible with his teacher’s outdated version of Microsoft Office and his entire presentation is now in Comic Sans.

Can we just declare abstinence-only education a failure and a sham and be done with...
