Yeah, the real problem (for LGBTQ rights) are the many people surrounding Trump—and whoever is able to be most persuasive.

He’s just one of those politicians who seems like a Damn Good Person—through and through.

I do not want to dismiss your hopes (they do not seem ill-founded).

You didn’t actually contradict anything. You just displayed an ability to make reductionist historical analogies.  

Just curious what you would like her to do?

I will be honest and say that I am also conflicted in how I *feel* about this too, given this woman’s past actions & given how many transgender men and women do not receive appropriate treatment when they have NOT committed a crime. . . . but I am resolute in the decision I have made about this issue—because, really,…

That is not the definition of mental illness.

The answer to this would be to improve health care for all Americans—not make it worse for inmates.

All the editors were allowed to ask 1 question—and their questions ranged from abortion to Russian to racism.

Not to mention the debts he and his family owe to foreign banks. . . .It’s all legitimately terrifying.

White women have been breaking at about 53% for republicans in the past 3 cycles—so the 52% for Trump shows that white women cared more about their party (or conservatism) than they did about racism. They pretty much voted along party…

I didn’t get the email . . . or at least not that I noticed. That is awesome to hear. Do they have a website or Facebook page?

If you feel entitled to force a baker to make a wedding cake for everyone no matter how they feel about them, then you should feel entitled to force a Rockette to dance for everyone.

YES. THIS. I’m also so tired of the false equivalencies between “hate” towards Trump supporters and the “hate” exhibited by Trump supporters.

This is a great guide about how we, as progressives (or even moderates), can resist the Trump agenda. It’s modeled after the very effective model of the (gag) Tea Party: Indivisible: A Practical Guide to Resisting the Trump Agenda.

Have you seen the Practical Guide to Resisting the Trump Agenda? It’s modeled after the Tea Party’s rather successful tactics.

UPDATE: Josh Marshall (who is the best), has just posted a tally of who voted yay vs. nay.
