Out of curiosity, what do you hate about Baker? I’ve met the dude but didn’t vote for him FWIW

I have RPL (recurring pregnancy loss), and had five miscarriages before I had my son. I’m scared shitless for all women, those who might need an abortion and also for those of us who miscarry and end up getting investigated and persecuted for not being able to prove our loss was outside of our control.

Canadian here. I’m switching my monthly donation to Amnesty International to Planned Parenthood USA. And giving them an extra dollop of cash this xmas because FUCK.

I’m an Indiana old, and I just wanted to mention that it was relatively cheap and relatively simple to get an abortion in Indiana TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO. I never needed one, faulty plumbing, but I went with friends.

The current laws are reprehensible. This proposed law is whatever 10x reprehensible is. I am running out…

There’s long been a thought process that runs, if we all just stopped talking about race, racism and such it’ll just go away! If we continue to harp on it (talk about it), the matter will only ever get worse. Why can’t we just move past this?

As a protester with not one, but TWO jobs, fuck those people.

But cities are where the people are. Money invested in cities goes much further than money invested in rural areas. When the money that the government has is finite (limited stimulus pacakage for instance), it’s easy to see that putting money into urban areas will do more good for more people. Living in a rural area…

Nobody is asking whether America *feels* great to people who are struggling. Nobody has illusions about whether people struggle. Or whether those struggles make them long for some kind of change.

How great do you think it is to live in a city where the cost of living goes up every year and your pay doesn’t? Where you worry about being forced out of your home because people from out of town insist on over-paying for your shitty ass apartment and your greedy ass landlord is perfectly willing to neglect repairs…

I’m in a similar boat. Conservative older generation (parents/aunts/uncles) that may have voted Trump or didn’t at all and my cousins/sibling. All HRC voters. It’s a beggars choice to separate yourself from the family that you love or compromise your values and continue the relationship. We’re taking the second…

There was a farm in the valley where I live who had what basically amounted to a Trump billboard... Drove me nuts every day when I would drive by it. Then someone came and spray painted “Racist” across it. I cheered out loud in my car... Even better, the next day below the trump billboard the owners posted a sign…

Yeah, I’ll be damned if I’m required to both be a victim of racism and teach white people all about racism and why they shouldn’t be racist, all while giving them hugs to make them feel better about how hard it is to be white and have racist friends and family right now.

This is a fair response, and I definitely hear and respect what you say. There has just been an interesting sentiment in the comment sections lately that all relationships with Trump supporters/voters should be severed. One in particular that has been nagging at me describes a person (can’t remember if it was a man or…

I sit and think... do I tell them they are protesting after work? I tried to explain WHY PEOPLE PROTEST to my little cousin who is not the sharpest tool in the drawer, and she says “well they should of voted then”.

If this was about politics that would be valid. But it’s not. It’s about racism, misogyny, islamophobia, sexual assault. It’s about installing a Neo Nazi in the White House and making a mentally deranged liar Attorney General. It’s about Stop & Frisk and Roe v. Wade and discriminatory bathroom laws. It’s about white…

Of course you would say some shit like that, mekki. No, my friends aren’t carbon copies of me, but I’m a Black woman so I can’t be friends with people who support a racist and his policies, no matter their bullshit reasoning why supporting a racist doesn’t make them actually racist. I’m sorry it hurts the feelings of…

If you think this is just about “political leanings,” you are in denial. I’m a Black woman, so I CAN’T “be friends” with an Orange Man supporter. Those people at worst are straight-up racist, and at best, don’t give a fuck either way but are cool with it to get some other thing they want out of the situation. Their…

I heard one person say, “there’s just so much more racial division with Obama than ever before.” Which from that line of reasoning, not only did Obama cause racial division, but, now that Trump is in charge, all those unhappy black and brown people are going to “go back” to enjoying life and getting along with…

We can throw blame around until the end of time, or we can focus and neuter that sack of rancid pigeon meat in two years and then get it out of the White House in four.

Good craft beer makes America great.
