It is not something I really realized about our history until I lived in Brazil and learned about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malê_revolt.

Same thing happened to me. They said a phone number wasn’t required when I signed up, but then my account was immediately blocked for “suspicious activity” when all I had done was follow a couple of accounts and then I was required to give a phone number to unlock it.

I don’t know, but Homeland Security is obviously getting defensive and repeating Kellyanne Conway talking points.

Seeing someone on Jezebel or Facebook say “I just donated” can push people over the line between telling themselves, “I am going to write a check soon” and actually taking out their wallet and donating.

It just demonstrates that Trump doesn’t feel the need to consult with anyone or think through the practicalities. He could have waited a week and issued an order, vetted through lawyers and various departments, grandfathering certain visa holders, or clarifying the status of legal permanent residents. This shitshow…

I know. I read that this morning and couldn’t, but could, believe it. I am definitely praying for Reince Priebus to be the new voice of reason on the National Security Council. Then we have Bannon playing in subtle ways as well, such as omitting mention of Jewish people in the Holocaust Remembrance Day tweet because…

I came from a well-off area, and thin and blonde didn’t necessarily equate popularity. Generally, popular girls were good at soccer and socially aggressive, not correlated well with attractiveness.

Keep us updated if they need more resources to last through the “indefinite” suspension.

Very classy!

I remember buying a dress for my 7th grade dance there in California and feeling soooo cool because we didn’t have them back East. 1990? It was black floral, of course.

I am beginning to think that mocking him is a mistake. He says anything that comes out of his mouth, like “I am going to build a wall and make Mexico pay!” His supporters eat it up but also don’t take it totally seriously, then liberals troll him and make fun of the fact that he has walked back his promises after…

That is amazing.

I don’t have any complaints. I was just pointing out that if you are demanding action, I don’t have any reason to trust that Kara is going to be a source of relentless and effective action any more than the random white girls she saw carrying clever signs are or aren’t. Is writing a blog post to vent effective? …

I was referring to Kara, not you. But, I too regularly call my congresspeople, donate to the ACLU and Planned Parenthood, and spend my entire career working on climate change policy, including making sure there are protections for low income consumers in efficiency and renewable energy policies. I have worked in the…

Well, complaining that marching isn’t action on a blog post and rolling your eyes because you are assuming some other marchers aren’t marching for other causes too sure isn’t action.

I am not going to address your feelings about white women not fighting for black women’s concerns where they don’t intersect, because that is true. But ever single white woman I know who went to a march voted for Clinton. The Trump supporters, and I only know a couple, were bashing to protesters on Facebook.

Well, it is often the mostly white anarchists who love to show up at every liberal protest, break shit, and get arrested. Like they did the day before the woman’s march.

Whaaaat?

I remember when I lived in Costa Rica many years ago that some of the girls talked about taking a pill to bring on their periods if they were late. As I was only just learning Spanish and just becoming sexually active, it took me a long time to retrospectively connect the dots.

Oh God. That is awful. Like elementary school student council awful.
