Ana replaces John for SCS. A high school kid is catching hell after releasing a video saying Black Lives Do Not Matter. A new service called Ihearmob looks to deter online harassment by giving loving and caring messages to those bullied online.

Talk about Carly Fiorina’s past where she was on the board of a company that profited off of aborted fetuses. A malware spike occurred in states buried by the blizzard a couple of weeks ago. It is believed that since people were stuck at home, more people visited porn sites and downloaded harmful viruses that came with it.

  1. Speaking of MSNBC hosts with balls, TYT should put a rope around Dylan Ratigan and drag him away from his garden and have him guest host the show on a regular basis.

  2. does Misogyny get normalized. Yes, even on TYT. First let me say I LOVE TYT BEST SHOW EVER. But the guys think nothing of calling Trump a “pussy”, who “cries like a bitch” when he doesn’t get his way.

    Yes, they are saying that about a guy, (who is horrible) but that really doesn’t make using those words OK. Would you call a white guy the N word and think nothing of it?
    If you want to know if something is sexist, switch out the sex for race. If it doesn’t sound OK switched with race, it isn’t OK,

    1. I don’t disagree, but I’ve been thinking lately specifically about the word “pussy”. Bitch used to mean a female dog, and dogs of both sexes whine, but it has since been totally transformed to be associated with women. so it doesn’t matter its origins. But “pussy” used to just mean cat, and when you’re saying someone is a “pussy” you’re saying that they are scared, and there’s this whole idea of cats being skittish and scared. It’s only later that the word gets associated with vaginas and therefor women, but of all the stereotypes of women in our sexist culture, is the idea that they’re always scared a big one? Or can this still be thought to reference cats?

  3. I didn’t think I would like the “iheartmob” conversation as much as I did. You guys did a good job, and left me feelin’ good.

  4. Hey Ben, never mind Carly Fiorina, the problem is all the other women that got a little bump from taking on Trump…..
