From what I’ve seen of Gorsuch thus far, he doesn’t strike me as an idiot, just someone with views I strongly disagree with, but speaking as an Ivy League alum, I promise you there were students graduating alongside me who were dumber than a box of hair. Some of them have gone on to get graduate degrees from…

Ooo. Bad example. We would literally go to war if the rest of the country decided they wanted water from the lakes. Hell, we had a knock-down/drag-out fight over a county just straddling the basin wanting to take water out.

You know what the thing is that pisses me off the most? The US is gradually becoming less and less reliant on oil for power. In ten years or less, that pipeline is going to be utterly useless. But you know what would probably be very handy: A water pipeline, so that the Great Lakes states could sell water to the…

Tell your stories, or call or write the staff here. We need to hear them.

We can pay attention and organize continent-wide protests. In Canada we can urge our PM to put his money where his mouth is on indigenous rights, and not participate in Keystone until the local community’s concerns have been addressed. We can put public pressure on local authorities with Amnesty-style letter-writing…

Without wishing any harm on Malia, there would be an absolute firestorm of backlash if video of her getting tear-gassed, maced or beaten ever came about. Her presence in this fight and other celebs is huge to get people behind the cause. I’m also nervous that this will escalate to a violent clash. Let’s hope it…

My husband and I took a Lyft home from the airport protests at SFO this weekend. We were speaking with our driver about it and he asked if we could also please go to Standing Rock. He grew up there on a reservation and had been part of the protests up until he moved to California just a few months ago. I asked him…

I worked on the KXL pipeline years ago when it was being built and voted against Obama since he was opposed to it completed. Being a young, impressionable, money hungry, corporate ladder climbing, the survival of that project was essential to my livelihood. I watched my project manager sign off on the 250 million…

Thanks for you principled anti-racist stand against all those horrible Asians.

I’ve given better speeches during my blackouts.

(Also, I bloody HATE Theresa May.)

oh the halcyon days of yore

Everyone knows what we’re doing (Brexit). They also know that it’s insane. Honestly, this is the sanest I’ve seen Trump all week and the most sense I’ve heard Theresa May make in a while. Maybe they will be good for each other (weeps).

These kids suck but what really freaks me out is the little kids.

They all believe that men’s rights is an important issue facing America in 2017?

May insists we’re leaving the EU, so she needs to be in Trump’s good books. If we fall out of favour with Europe AND the United States, we’re fucked. I just saw a photo of them holding hands... I don’t know whether to laugh or cry...

You’d understand it if you spoke Working-class American, duhhhhh. Here, let a Real American translate for you:

DD/MM/YYYY isn’t even a British thing! It’s an every single country except for America (and Liberia?) thing!

Can we have your husband as president? Please?

It’s funny, because my husband alleges that I generally shout, “I KNOW WHAT I’M DOING,” right before I flail blindly and make a giant mess of home repairs.

Don’t worry, guys. America knows what it’s doing.
