When I write about sexual or domestic violence, I really want all comments to be under men’s real names, so potential dates can read them.
http://www.slate.com/articles/podcasts/gist/2014/09/the_gist_speaks_with_a_prosecutor_about_the_ray_rice_case_and_john_dickerson.html … Great interview with a former prosecutor, now domestic violence activist putting Ray Rice video into context.

Just learned today that the Ravens put the Rice wedding photos up on their website, like nothing had happened. Jesus.
Suggesting @WendyDavisTexas made up her abortion is a new low, even for @NRO.
