"By painting #MeToo as hysteria or ‘politicization,’ the guests invoke an old patriarchal trope: that women’s anger is dangerous, that our insistence on justice threatens civilization itself."

When the Headline Gets It Wrong: Feminism Isn’t the Problem—Patriarchy Is
When I saw the headline “Did Women Ruin the Workplace? And if So, Can Conservative Feminism Fix It?” in The New York Times, my heart sank.

Sandwich verdict wasn’t jury nullification. It was failure to prove the required “reasonable fear of physical injury” in a case where the agent was wearing A BULLETPROOF VEST. The only crime was the waste of resources on this case. My thoughts in @MSNBCDaily.

Opinion | The sandwich thrower was wrong. But Jeanine Pirro was, too.
To establish a forcible assault, jurors were required to find that Dunn caused “reasonable apprehension of immediate bodily harm.” That allegation was laughable.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

They’re wrong.
New York is the world financial capital — home of Wall Street & billionaires from across the globe.
