I have, on numerous occasions, not seen a text until an hour or two (or three) after it was sent. I’m not the easiest person to pin down and, sometimes, it’s just due to an indifference to checking my phone all the time.

Well please know that some of us genuinely don’t have the ability to check our phones at all times and when we text that, we mean it.

He doesn’t see women as people, I think it’s really as simple as that.

It is absolutely killing him. Howard Stern gave an interview recently talking about he believes this is going to destroy Trump mentally if not physically. Trump loves Hollywood and it kills him that the people that he wants to hobnob with the most now openly despise him.

I’ve wondered what kind of outcomes it would take to make Trump voters regret their choice. The thing about the Muslim ban is that it doesn’t have to work to convince people that it works—we almost certainly aren’t safer for it, but I’m sure plenty of people feel safer. Much the same is true for policies like the…

and here goes time magazine

The media won’t. You how the exchange goes:

Don’t look to past leadership. Look into the crowds. Find the NEW leaders. They’re in there, shouting next to you. Find the eloquent ones, the ones who have experienced this struggle. Find women, find POC, find queer people, find disabled people, find Native Americans - all the people who have been fighting for this…

exactly. they are purposely trying to make this all feel immediate and terrifying and like much of what he is doing is going to happen right now and the world will actually explode at this very moment.

This just occurred to me: I’m going to buy whiteboard paint, paint it onto foam board, and use dry-erase markers for signs. Then I can reuse the signs.

“It also feels like we have no true leadership.”

Rachel Maddow had a good segment on last night’s show talking about how the protests are actually working far better than comparitive tea party era ones. Public opinion is with us.

I think he’s testing the waters honestly. I don’t recall a president speaking out so soon after a new administration has taken office to encourage people to continue protesting. I imagine there are some very serious, high-level conversations going on - and even the Koch brothers aren’t happy about this shit right…

What do we do though? I’ve been protesting, signing petitions, donating, calling my representatives, trying to get more involved in local politics, etc., but the frustrating thing is that it seems like no one can stop him. It also feels like we have no true leadership. Honestly I wish Obama would come back into the…

Oh good point! I remember reading some memoir by a german teenage heroin addict when I was about 14 - I was so innocent and it was quite the shocker to Little Miss Sheltered (me). I read that book 5 or 6 times. Now that I’m a jaded adult? Big ol’ meh.

she always looks so fucking dirty. no thanks.

As an immigrant seeing these stats (and peoples comments on threads sometimes) is truly disheartening. I’m not affected by these bans, but whether an immigrant or not – not being affected by it was literally just a result of winning the birth lottery. And being a brown, it’s still quite disheartening seeing what…

This is the same bullshit you hear when protestors block traffic. Like, stop with that whining. I’m sorry it took you an hour extra to get home. You know, that hour where you turn on the television and ignore parenting your kids. You know, that hour that you claim was for cooking dinner, but you and your spouse just…

Really, the best way to protest is to go sit quietly in a corner. Not that corner, the one waaaaay over there. Where no one can see you. And no signs either.

My dad bought a gun. He said it was the first time he’s held one since the late 70's, but his aim wasn’t too bad. He’s been crying on the couch off and on since the election. He’s 61. He was a lifelong Republican until they started running down his precious Union. He voted for Obama twice. He voted for Hillary even…
