They’re all using each other, but let’s not pretend there’s some kind of game plan beyond gaslighting the American people, sucking the master’s dick and covering their own asses. I think it’s a mistake to treat these venal pricks like they’re playing chess as opposed to making it up as they go along; there’s no…

I don’t think it’s worth trying, because it takes so much longer than making a new burner. My best advice is checking comment histories before responding to someone grey, though it’s not a perfect solution.

I know it’s a drag to check the comment history of every new burner account that comments to you, but dude: this guy ONLY makes baiting comments about black people.

YES. Thanks for saying it more clearly than I managed to :)

Oh my god that guy is ridic

I think the child-friendly vibe and pink pussy hats were strategic in exactly that way. I just think it’s also really, really important to acknowledge that these tactics would’t necessarily prevent police violence when the majority of the bodies are black and poor.

This is a good take. It points out how the event and lack of push-back by police reek of misogyny

They don’t need any black people until the next election, when they’ll choose another thirsty moron to make white people feel better about being bigots.

I was at a similarly small event. I don’t think those are being counted in the overall numbers, but they’re no less important; if we’re participating in local actions and politics, local networking and conversations about our local priorities are even more vital than standing in a mass movement.

OMG, that gives me goosebumps! Utterly delightful.

It was exuberant!

Ya the ACLU responded to the vague threat Spicer made in that... display. You can’t even really call it a press conference because he came in, chastised the press, lied 4 times, and stormed off like a goddamned fool. If they think they’re going to keep saying up is down just to show they can, they’re going to be in…

Those are great costumes. Sometimes you have to laugh at this shit or you’d be crying.

Walked the walk, wrote the book, dragged us mere mortals along. I feel embarrassed as a feminist that she has to fight some of this horseshit all over again.

She’s kinda clueless.

I was impressed with America Ferrera’s speech and Jessica Williams’ too, but ANGELA DAVIS.

My hometown in Canada got about 1% out to the event. Not huge, but not bad considering.

You were right- there was a lady who handed out free pink toques! Alas, we kept stopping along the way to talk to neighbors and only got there just as the event started so we didn’t get hats, but were delighted to see the size of the crowd.

What I said what that she was referring to a joke someone else had already made.
