This must be the “third comment in before I stopped reading” that people were talking about.

Kara, I don’t want to derail this piece. I am glad you wrote it. But please get Jezebel to write about how POC are being marginalized within the Democratic party.

this, right here.

So we can expect you at the next Farmworkers march right? Or the next immigrations march? Or at Standing Rock (which IIRC, you did not attend?).

Hm. And you aren’t?

THIS EXACTLY. I really don’t understand the need to point out “why weren’t you here earlier?!” They’re here now. Welcome them, answer questions they have and fucking strap your boots on because we have work to do.

Said the (potentially white) male. I found this sign unnecessarily condescending. This is not how you win people over to helping in the fight.

Do you hold black people who are only involved in BLM to the same standard?

53% of white female voters voted for Trump. But only about 25% of white women voted for him overall when you take into account non voters. Trump’s presidency may very well be the wake up call that nonvoters need. Right now is not the time to attack people who have been politically disengaged. We need to be more like…

I support Black Lives Matter, but I ask you: Where are the black men who support anti-sexism? Their silence, just like white men’s, was deafening.

I don’t think she’s saying she was “triggered” by that sign. I think she’s saying that telling protesters coming to a demonstration for the first time don’t need to be told that because they were too nice/white/Christian/congenial there presence wasn’t appreciated.

What about the whales? Will we see the nice black ladies at the next whale protest? Will we see the nice white ladies at the end anti-war protest?

You make a good point but...

I guess my question to this is: what if the answer to this question is “no, you won’t”? Then what? What if, hypothetically, I marched for reproductive rights, and I disagreed with literally everything else that other people were there for? Did I not belong there, then? Who’s the gatekeeper to a “women’s march” who…

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…

It is called the electoral college and the votes are distributed based on population

⭐️Starred for making me laugh

Nanny here, we all get paid under the table, that’s one of the perks of the job. Don’t get me wrong I fucking hate everything about trump and his supposed ‘administration’ but even my sister who is a nanny in beverly hills and makes over 30/hour gets paid in cash. There are bigger fish to fry.

Trump’s cabinet is like one big Opposite Day.

Trump’s DOE nominee wanted to abolish the department, his HHS nominee wants to end social security and Medicare and repeal the ACA, his WH budget director didn’t pay taxes, his SOS ran a shadow foreign policy as the head of Exxon-Mobil, his DOE secretary never attended a public school... Who’s he going to nominate as…
