His own party just rubber-stamped all of his batshit crazy cabinet picks. They don’t have the balls to impeach him anytime soon.
Our president is fat. And?
I’ve seen a few things about how the marchers are fat and it’s like ... so? I mean, clearly, to these people fat women aren’t human and thus don’t count. It still takes a certain level of stupidity to not be able to come up with a better insult than that. Like, it’s not saying our policies are wrong, that we’re…

Let me know when it is, and this white lady will be there
Can we not with this “elite” business? You do know the majority of Clinton voters made $50,000 or less. Can we stop with this divisiveness against Clinton voters, who are more often less wealthy and more often women of color?
So we can expect you at the next Farmworkers march right? Or the next immigrations march? Or at Standing Rock (which IIRC, you did not attend?).
I support Black Lives Matter, but I ask you: Where are the black men who support anti-sexism? Their silence, just like white men’s, was deafening.
Yup. That’s why I had a pretty great high after attending our tiny hastily thrown together march. In an area that went hard for Trump in a swing state it was downright heartwarming seeing hundreds of like-minded individuals. I made a ton of acquaintances with progressives in an area I ALWAYS felt alone in.
Serious question: does the Black Lives Matter movement have a set position on whether they want white people at their protests or not? I’ve read several high profile articles both ways. I’ll admit to staying away, in part because I’ve read several impassioned pieces saying that I shouldn’t go.
After the march my wife and I attended a conference called ‘Rise Above’ sponsored by ‘Lawyers for Good Government’ which was designed to help people continue the movement beyond just marching for a day. One of the speakers from Black Lives Matters talked about the importance of being an ‘accomplice, not an ally’…
I work for an advocacy organization. We all went to the march, with our friends and our families.
Just so you know, you can support both at the same time.
Yeah, that’ll make the first-time marchers feel great. Can we stop picking at people who gave enough of a shit to come out and march in January, and then tell them it isn’t good enough? I think all women need to be respectful of the new-to-protest women who are now galvanized. Coming together on commonalities and…
Agreed, it seems wrong to be so cynical and mistrusting of people who are new to activism. They are in many ways “the middle” that activists spend so much time trying to convince and get involved. Well, they did, now let’s work to make them follow up.
What’s with these purity tests that people on the left require of one another?
Can’t this be a first step? Let’s encourage people to join and listen.
