It’s not just People - all of the mainstream media (aka White media) is doing this. Why? Cause they don’t have much to fear from a Trump presidency - they aren’t being assaulted on the street just for being Black; they aren’t having people try to rip their hijabs off; their children aren’t being told by their…

Something occurred to me yesterday when I realized that I felt the same as I did on September 12, 2001:

I’ll join you in that prayer. I’ll pray to Loki, too, because he’s likely to break shit and start fires and stuff.

I’m in NZ. The Dominion Post (our paper) had the headline of “WTF?” on a picture of Trump.

It’s a bit different here in flyover country. While I haven’t had any face to face nastiness, my FB feed is literally half people being actually scared and half gloating “suck it bitches or gtfo”. I am physically ill.

Same here, in DC on the metro, this morning. Could hear a pin drop. Security guard in my building told me it’s gonna be ok. We locked eyes in solidarity. I was on auto pilot all day.

Like Jesse Ventura and Arnold Schwarzenegger before him, Trump will demonstrate that electing a celebrity with no actual knowledge of how government works doesn’t work out that well. Ventura and Schwarzenegger both pissed off legislators of their own party so badly that they couldn’t get much of anything done, and…

I am from Mississippi, and due to the oil industry tanking, a whole bunch of red necks with high school diplomas went from making all kinds of money and living king of the trailer park to being as dirt poor the rest of the white trash. That’s trump’s base. White, pissed off early 30/late 20 something men and their…

Seriously I want to slap those rural white voters and yell at them that no, just because Trump is president doesn’t mean an unskilled high school dropout will magically get a $25 per hour factory job in the middle of cow pastures and soybean fields. Yes your benefits and food stamps will get cut some more like what…

I don’t mean to pick one of the things that isn’t a massive human rights tragedy, but I just think this exemplifies how fucking bizarre his ideas are at every level. What if all the existing regulations are good ones?? Do we just have a standstill on progress?? Who chooses which go??? Will regulations be impossible to…

Thanks, friend. I had a lot of faith in the American model. I immigrated to this country because of it. I wanted to participate in the melting pot experiment so bad.

Well, he did start by saying she might be a current senator - I took the “or in college” as a lead-in to the punchline “please don’t let her be a toddler”. That said I hope like hell she’s already 35 and well positioned for 2020 or 2024.

When you say “read up” on Pence, do you mean “The Handmaid’s Tale” or “The Man in the High Castle”?

Last night, I was walking home while sobbing from my friends’ election party-turned-funeral-for-America, and this guy was walking in the opposite direction, crying, and we just stopped and talked for a minute and then hugged (not in a creepy way at all).

You guys are being unnecessarily snarky. Alot of these protest are happening in cities where the states went blue. Most of these people voted for Hillary and are rightfully angry.

What kills me is that he got his highest support from women age 44 and up. Like, the demographic that Trump would consider the most completely disposable, the age where he replaced all his wives, that’s who was like “sure, I’ll vote for that guy.”

I participated in the New York protests. This morning I woke up literally wanting to die, feeling like every tiny bit of mental health progress I’ve made in my life had vanished. But now, there’s hope back in my heart. My brain feels clear. My love of feminism feels like a fire in me again, not an awful burden. This…

Stop saying shit is meaningless. That’s why people sit at fucking home and don’t vote, or vote third party, or elect a hate-spewing racistmisogynisticpieceofshitasshole for our president.

You know how things that other people have liked will pop up in your FB newsfeed? I saw someone that I went to HS with (and hated even then, the pretentious asshole) saying that you can’t complain about what Trump does when you’re a ‘violent thug’ that’s ‘basically asking for political retaliation’ by doing things…

Something hit me today. Considering that white women came out strong for Trump last night, was he really lying when he said:
