I’m a high school English teacher, and I plan to punch one of my colleagues in his throat when he makes his first condescending or misogynistic (or both) comment.

I’m not working, not shopping, and wearing red, and then I’m giving a talk about what women’s marches and protests have accomplished in the past. Then leading a discussion about what we hope to accomplish now. It’s scheduled for 7pm so that women who do have to work tomorrow can still attend. I’m stoked. I just hope…
Last year, when I was invited to sing “O Canada” at the NBA All-Star Game, I was happy for the opportunity to…
The largest police union in the country endorsed Donald Trump. This is on them. When they get no coooperation from communities to solve crimes they should remember this case. The officers who stayed silent and just went along and did not speak up should remember this when the community balks at their attempts to…
I think this is meant to be more of a single act of protest - it’s different to a strike against a particular employer. If you are a member of a union and you strike, the union will formally negotiate with the employer for particular demands, which isn’t the case here. Happy to be corrected on this, but that’s my…
That’s a solid chant.
Wow. Aren’t you a horrible piece of shit. You see a woman who has lived in this country since she was 14, being deported in front of her children and all you can think about is “breaking the law”. When laws are more important than human beings, then the laws are nothing more than oppression. Don’t hide behind the…
I would also be very worried if I were in your shoes, and I am worried for my friends, relatives, neighbors and fellow citizens.
Thank you so much for that link. I’ve been wringing my hands over who to call, and what to say, and which issue to talk about. That site helped and I just was able to leave 2 voicemails about banning and the SCOTUS to one of my reps and the Dept of Homeland security. I currently live in a blue state but Im registered…
i did this today! The chap I spoke to at my local conressmans office admitted they had been hearing a lot of comments on Jay Clayton today, which was what the message was! It works! Well, it made me feel useful, so it worked in that way... whether it actually changed how my Independent member of Congress votes, who…
Angela Peoples did not come to the Women’s March on Washington to play. The 30-year-old co-director of the LGBTQ…

What a beautiful picture!
As a queer, I want to say that I fucking love our goddamn community.
With the fresh horror of the inauguration merely days away and a long, hard road ahead of all of us, members of the…
It scares me nonnative people can come to my reservation, and other reservation, assault me, and my family, and they may not get persecuted for it. The FBI can decide to not go after the person and my court can do nothing about it.
Uh, white people will come out of this administration far less scathed than folks of color. We’ve got to call them out on that. White nationalism got Trump elected. If white women are afraid of black women asking them to consider their needs, then yes, we’ve got to address it. It’s mockable. Addressing it is the only…
The book can be made, he can self publish for all I care. It is disappointing that a major publisher was like “hey I can make money off of this guy’s racism and hate speech that makes the world an objectively worse place!”
You’re trying to trot out the “paradox of tolerance”, but you are late to the game. It’s already been solved, amigo. Philosopher Karl Popper brought up this exact point in 1945:
