I guess I’ll have to take your word for it. I’ve only seen people noting that Bernie couldn’t have won in response to people posting accusations of Democrats ruining the country by running Clinton, myself, which seems like a reasonable response given that context.

Like you’re doing right now?

I think it might be time to give the “but Bernie!” a rest.

I donated and joined the day after the election. This is so encouraging.

AND HE STILL COULDN’T FIND A WAY TO DO IT LEGALLY. As the chants in New York stated, this shit is I.L.L.E.G.A.L.

Rudy Giuliani divulged that “when [Trump] first announced it, he said, ‘Muslim ban.’ He called me up. He said, ‘Put a commission together. Show me the right way to do it legally.’”

Bravo. Keep questioning, keep pushing, keep driving the movement forward. A lot of us nominally-liberal white ladies got very complacent for a very long time, and this wakeup call has been urgent, sharp, and much-needed.

I absolutely agree and I am with you 100%. Black Lives Matter and I will support them more loudly and be present at as many more events as I can than I have in the past. The targeting of black men and women by police is hideous and inexcusable. And in a lot of places, it’s never spoken of at all, or if it is, it’s…

Honestly, if they are marching for and committed to acting for an issue they care about and are willing to fight for, I don’t really care if they show up for my own separate pet cause before or after, as long as our causes generally align.

I’ve seen branches of the armed forces treat new recruits more gently than some of these protest movements do. I understand the pain and anger, I do. But when you take someone full of determination, energy, and drive, who’s asking ‘how can I help and what can I do,’ and turn it into hesitance, apology, retreat, and…

I think he’s a home pooper.

Definitely easier to take care of! I find them less breathable and comfortable, though, and less likely to properly wick sweat away. Either way, though, nothing is worse than cotton baselayer. NOTHING.

Function definitely comes before form when the alternative is frostbite. My Carhartt insulated overalls and quilted duck coat would get me through an ice age, but they sure aren’t pretty.

Once you’ve got the right gear, it’s actually kind of fun! The battle keeps me young. :D

Merino wool base layer, insulated mid-layer, wind-repelling and waterproof outer layer. Two layers of socks with toe-warmers in between, and Pac boots with ice cleats. Neck and wrist protection to prevent drafts. Snowmobile or ski goggles to keep your eyeballs from freezing. Fellow Upstate NY here, we got 7 foot snow…

Ignoring or denying facts doesn’t make them non-factual. A nuance that seems to have escaped Ann Coulter 2.0 up there.

It’s strange, but living in the frozen tundra like I do, I find my harshest predjudices are being saved for Subaru drivers these days. Around here and on my 30-mile commute to work, they’re inevitably driven by middle-aged or elderly ladies with hands at 10 and 2, who think that 10 mph below the speed limit is a…

I cannot imagine a universe in which I could possibly care less.

No Firefox extension yet, but I hold out hope.

THANK YOU.
