I’m gray, so I don’t know if this will end up cheering anyone up, but I need this.

FOIA THE SHIT OUT OF EVERYTHING, PEOPLE.

Anyone who says this isn’t straight up fascism, is a straight up fascist themselves. Our right to peacefully assemble, which means anything short of actually smashing shit up, is guaranteed by our 1st amendment constitutional rights. Don’t think for a second that this law will not be used by a federal agency at some…

The GOP can approve all of these without the Dems help.

Likely the political capital to get rid of someone else.

Yes. Burn down the political opposition to Republicans. Great idea.

Reactions like yours are why national politics is as dysfunctional as it is.

There is a small part of me that thinks this is part of a “lose a battle; win the war” strategy. As in let this one go in order to stop a worse pick, then go back and get rid of him after he has hung himself.

You see it on the other side too. Like you can’t be Republican and denounce Trump unless you want to called a traitor. You have to be with him for everything or be left out in the cold. (Hello, Romney.) Because of this we ended up with the GOP as it is today. A monster on Capitol Hill.

Agreed. An activists job at a large successful action is not to whine about why the people who showed up weren’t at the previous actions, but to do something — other than whining — to make sure as many of them as possible come back to the next one. This article is not helpful.

Likewise: I was at the march in DC, and I loved the diversity of purpose: women’s rights, Black Lives Matter, pro-disability, Support Your Local Sex Worker, trans visibility and rights, pro-immigrant. I got the chance to talk with the people carrying those signs, and now I know more about what these movements (not all…

I work for an advocacy organization. We all went to the march, with our friends and our families.

Yeah, that’ll make the first-time marchers feel great. Can we stop picking at people who gave enough of a shit to come out and march in January, and then tell them it isn’t good enough? I think all women need to be respectful of the new-to-protest women who are now galvanized. Coming together on commonalities and…

What’s with these purity tests that people on the left require of one another?

Can’t this be a first step? Let’s encourage people to join and listen.

Spencer did nazi that coming....

“Write a note to yourself about what you would never do. And when you come to the line, don’t cross it.”

I love that this painting gives us direct and confrontational eye contact, a hopeful glance upward, a watchful but open gaze outward, and a wistful but determined side-eye. We’re going to need all of these visions and voices moving forward.

This fucker is the least intellectually curious person I’ve ever seen.

I think realizing what this job entails already has. He somehow had no fucking clue, even on November 9, the enormous responsibility that would be heaped on his shoulders. I’d be appreciating his misery if it didn’t mean that anything he does will badly fuck up the country.
