SUPPORT THE ACLU

Well. The Second American Revolution just keeps getting closer and closer.

I was talking to a good friend of mine who thinks we’ll see a wave of white supremacist candidates elected in Europe (Marine Le Pen, Norbert Hofer) & this could seriously be a run-up to WWIII.

Not only has 2016 been such a shit year, with megalomaniacs on the rise to power across the globe like we haven’t seen since the lead-up to WWII (when dozens of world powers didn’t have nuclear weapons), it could also be our last year!

I just got a notice I was unfriended by a relative for not ‘playing nice’. I have not insulted anyone, merely displayed concern for people being terrorized and rights being taken away and engaging in conversation about these topics. These people have their fingers in their ears and unless drumpff decides to start…

They won’t care. Facts don’t matter to them.

Yesterday I went out and was super paranoid. Today is no different. I want to fight back but this is a spectacularly painful blow. I feel betrayed by my neighbors even. Its hard when you arent in a big metropolitan city like NYC and youre a POC in a small white suburb. The threat is so much larger. Ugh. I am so…

Everyone’s asking why so many white women voted for Trump and Emily’s post reveals exactly why. Their shrugging off of the idea of privilege is the very definition of it.

We all underestimated just how racist and misogynistic our country really is

This is great! It would be awesome if we here in the US followed the example set by Iceland’s women. In 1975, 90% of the women in Iceland took the day off- by terming it as respect and respite for all the work that women due they were able to bring together both progressive feminists and conservative…

If one more person says to me “he hasn’t done anything yet, we don’t know what he’ll do” as if that’s supposed to be comforting I’m going to go on a rampage. That’s exactly what’s worrisome. We’ve either got a president who believes 100% in the shit he spewed to get elected and will (try to) follow through on all his…

Despite the overwhelming narrative, Trump voters skewed rich, not poor. And the biggest demographic that voted for him wasn’t poor people or people in stagnating areas, it was white people.

We ARE addressing the concerns of white working class voters. It’s just that the concerns Trump voters were having weren’t actually “economic anxiety” but more “I want to feel superior to others.” Democrat Presidents are often the rising tide that lifts all boats, but it’s considered not enough because they’re not…

Sorry Brody, they are exactly racist pacifiers. They had at least 3 other candidates they could have chosen and they went with the racist/misogynist one. And now acts of hate seem to be spiking across the nation. I have zero empathy fucks to give.

*Cracks knuckles*

I will have nothing but a giant middle finger for anyone that suggests we “need to put aside our differences and come together as a country.” NO. FUCK YOU. We aren’t divided on tax code or trade deal details. These are assholes who literally want to force me to carry out a pregnancy I might get from being raped, these…

I have NO time nor patience today for those who are shrugging and saying “well, maybe he won’t be so bad” and “maybe this has all been a brilliant ploy”. I mean, I obviously have none either for those who gleefully hope he continues to be exactly who he has seemed to be, but for those who either voted for him thinking…

It’s especially unnerving because it places people into a passive role, as opposed to the active vigilance that this moment requires.
