How nice would it have been to have woken up today with an alternative President instead?

“We’re stronger when you shut the fuck up and do what I tell you.”

“I want to unite everybody because as a team we’re stronger together.”

Of course you know that everyone here will love it, and now I’m wondering what Sir McKellen’s user name is here on Jez;)

Tangentially related but how cute is Ian mckellen’s sign for the women’s march?

You mean, like roads? Should all of our highways have tolls on them?

“...an education system flush with cash”? Are you fucking kidding me? Since when? My father was a teacher and there are several in my family, and they have to pay for classroom supplies with their own money all the time, or go without. Salaries are abysmally low, and many schools don’t have the funds to even make…

Well it’s good that his intense desire to be president occasionally leads him to do something decent.

Betsy DeVos reminds me of all the terrible parents my public school teacher father has told me horror stories about. Over his career, he’s experienced parents who have yelled at him, patronized him, asked him how much his salary is, tried to bribe him to give their kids extra time on tests or better grades, people who…

No fuck this lady. Her child being disabled does not get her a pass on trying to fuck with other women’s rights.

she knows Herr Drumpf tried to get Tiffany aborted, right?

My argument has always been that pro-life is your choice. The choice of others is none of your damn business. If you want the right to choose life, you have to be prepared to let others make their own choice.

It’s like being furious about amputations. It’s an unfortunate medical procedure that is sometimes necessary, but no one gets riled up about Hippocratic oathes to “do no harm” when a surgeon is holding a scalpel (or even a bone saw).

“We’re feminists, just ones that don’t agree with feminism.”

The abortion rate is currently at its lowest point since Roe v Wade passed. Because we had Planned Parenthood and access for free birth control.

“I knew that with Hillary, there would definitely be no hope for the unborn,” she explained. “But with him, I was very hopeful.” I’m so sick of these idiots.

This “preborn women’s rights” line is the newest argument the anti-abortion crowd is pulling out of their asses. I just had a guy try and pull it on me this morning. This along with the “okay, we’re gonna be feminists now, only pro-life ones” (oxymoron much?), is obviously the latest strategy coming down from the…

They were there to reclaim feminism for the anti-abortion movement, to use the language of feminism, but to recenter on “pre-born” women and the abortion industry. “We’re marching for the pre-born,” Lori told Jezebel. Both of them were unhappy about the unapologetically pro-choice stance of the Women’s March.

The whole speech is one of the most jingoistic piece of shit I’ve heard in recent history.
