Two of them actually. Tattoos. Click here to see them. Wonder what that means?

I hope she’s staying silent just because she refuses to play the game and not because she’s either ashamed or…who knows what’s she’s feeling.

But guns….? I hope it’s a warning to any other man who ever puts his hands on her. But only Rihanna knows for sure. Maybe she meant it for people like me who won’t get out of her business. Regardless, I’m impressed by her silence. I hope I’m right. I hope she’s all right.

BTW, I spoke with some high school girls this weekend and yup, they blame Rihanna. Not for “making” him hit her but for taking him back. If she really has. They also introduced me to this.

 Ah youth. 

PLEASE—BEFORE YOU CLICK AWAY!

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things it doesn’t like—which is most things that are true.

We’ll say it loud and clear: At Mother Jones, no one gets to tell us what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please do your part and help us reach our $150,000 membership goal by May 31.
