I can buy this. I’ve seen it from not particularly cerebral adults over the age of 40 over this past weekend, both men and women. One woman in my office went walking by another Trump-voting co-worker’s office yammering about, “DAY 1!! DAY 1 OF A BETTER FUTURE!” or some horseshit, like she’d just won the lottery. This…

This is only weird if you assume that a husband and wife are literal extensions of each other, rather than two distinct human beings.
We talked endlessly about Bernie Bros this election cycle, but not a lot about the bros who backed Trump.
My favorite picture someone took from the Seattle march had three middle-aged dads, each with a little girl in a pink pussy hat on his shoulders. These are the dads we need!
There were a few times at the DC March when people started chanting Black Lives Matter and everyone joined in with the same enthusiasm as all the other chants. It was awesome!
I’m of two minds on this. On one hand, yes, where was this level of visible outrage around black lives matter and standing rock? On the other hand, does the very nature of being a woman automatically include you in the outrage of ALL disenfranchised peoples? Is one only given “cred” when they express outrage and…
Uh... you know that diverse groups have diverse opinions and people get to voice them. Progressive people tend to get this. It’s not “infighting” or “eating your own” or whatever else detractors want to call it. Our diverse movement can support and respect multiple opinions at the same time - even ones individuals…
I’ve said it before, but I loved the effort my local march (in lily-white Kansas) made to make sure that the speakers were diverse- in their race, gender expression, sexual orientation, religion, abilities, class, age, and point of view. The crowd was respectful and receptive to all the different speakers, and…
That’s because it’s not *always* wrong. It’s *almost* always wrong in *almost* everyone’s daily life. Violence is just a tool in the toolbox. One does not use a hammer to drive a screw, or a soldering iron to cook scrambled eggs. Violence is the tool of choice for dealing with Nazis and other such low forms of life,…
He was already saying the left is as violent as we accuse the alt-right of being. The only thing that changed is that he’s scared now.
I’m all for celebrating the awesome men who attended the march (all the men I met there were cool as fuck) but JFC THAT HEADLINE.
I have been watching the various incarnations of the nazi punch pretty much non-stop for the past day or so and they still have yet to get old. Personal fave:
HAHAHAHA!!! Oh, my God, sorry, I know this has nothing to do with the subject of this article, but I need to share in hope that maybe Jezebel or one of the sub blogs make a post about it: I’m the translator for the Brazilian version of the @RealTimeWWII account on Twitter (the Brazilian versions is @2aGM_TempoReal).…
“Leave it to the states”, Republicans so often say.
“Challenge accepted”, says Cuomo.
What’s interesting about all this is the potential for Jesusland states to have an utter exodus of young, intelligent, educated people as they go to college and leave for states more in line with their values, making Dixie even more of…
The most surprising thing is that Cuomo didn’t exclude New York City residents from these measures. It frequently seems like he believes his primary gubernatorial duty is to punish the city at every opportunity for the crime of electing Mayor DeBlasio.
Governor, we applaud this action on its own for what it is. And no, you still don’t get to be President in 2021. That’s reserved for Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris or Tammy Duckworth, thank you very much.
And the Trumpers wonder why liberals flee the rustbelt? THIS IS WHY!
California, Illinois, Maryland, and Vermont all did this as well yesterday.
Well it’s good that his intense desire to be president occasionally leads him to do something decent.
