Yeah this bodes suuuuper well for the fourth estate and the First Amendment, doesn’t it?

God I hope the second gif set is what happened in Hillary’s war room.

I am so sorry to hear this. You have been through so much. I hope you can talk to a professional - self-harm and panic attacks are no joke, and you may have PTSD as well. Sending you lots of love and hope.

When my fiance’s younger brother committed suicide two years ago, his mom called me and I had to go get him at work and tell him. That whole week, bouncing all over the country making funeral arrangements (and managing a team of field organizers remotely because election year) was pretty horrible. My high school…

Thanks :( I guess it’s my privilege as a white woman that I was shocked at the treatment she received, not just as a candidate but as a sitting Congresswoman for god’s sake.

I worked myself to the bone for an amazing black Congresswoman running for Senate last year. It was a stunning master class in the misogynoir that isn’t uncommon in the Democratic Party, as much as we’d like to foist it all ont the GOP. A few days after she lost the primary in April, I was drunk, sobbing, and told my…

My best friend was inconsolable because she desperately wants children, and now they’ll likely be born during a Trump presidency. As we were going to bed (before the Rust Belt was called because I just couldn’t anymore), my fiance turned to me with crazy eyes and said, “Let’s just get married tomorrow, everything’s…

What do you do when your entire extended family (save one lovely 19-year-old cousin who is now worried she’ll never be able to get a job as a geologist because no one gives a shit about the earth) voted for Trump in a SWING state? My answer has been radio silence, not going home for Christmas, and dreading the fuck…

My aunt, her husband, her son, and my grandparents all voted for Trump. I’m angriest at my grandparents, because they apparently survived their childhood in nazi-occupied Denmark to come here, watch FOX News all day, and vote for spray-tan Mussolini. They fucking know better and it’s disgusting.

Same boat. I honestly do not want to see my grandparents until their funerals. No way I am going home for Christmas, and it seems impossible that this feeling is going to change by the time I get married next fall.

I also love that they’re invoking the “long healing process” of WOUNDS FOR WHICH THEIR CLIENT IS RESPONSIBLE.

I’m going to blame any white person who votes to uphold white supremacy, regardless of party. And I don’t think it’s liberal elitism to have expected that rural America would be smart and empathetic enough to not blow up our entire country, but here we are.

Interested in hearing what Democrats could possibly do to win over people who don’t think that racism or sexism exists or disqualifies someone from the highest office in our country.

I mean, I feel like a lot of them disappeared because of voter suppression.

A handful of Klan members celebrating this is proof that millions of people care less about the well-being and safety of black people than they do about the deadly spread of political correctness. Still not great.

Economic anxiety is the new states’ rights, it seems.

Well I’m just relieved this election wasn’t about race.

When my old boss lost her Senate primary, she called that out in her concession speech. She asked the Democratic Party when black women were going to get to sit at the table and speak for themselves instead of propping up the tent from the outside. This election gives me no satisfying answer to that question.

This is why I’m so unwilling to let the racism/white nationalist variable of this shitty equation to be overlooked. White people were not the only people who lost wealth and jobs in the recession, but they are the only people who voted overwhelmingly for Trump. “Establishment” politicians won overwhelmingly in House…
