Today looks like it will be much better

On the eve of the inauguration, I think it’s a good time to remember that under President Obama, twenty million Americans gained health insurance, cutting the percentage of uninsured Americans to single digits; same-sex marriage was legalized; DADT was repealed; combat positions were opened to women and transgender…

Or if you are against abortion, how about making it so that everyone is given a proper, comprehensive sex education and easy and cheap access to birth control and sexual health care. Guarantee with those things, the abortion rate will drastically drop.

What is the alternative? Give up, lie down, become cynical and cry about how unfair it all is? Some of us don’t have that privilege, so we’ll be fighting and not failing until we fail!

If you’re assessing by proficiency you set a standard score to be met, say 80%, and both student A and student B have to meet that goal to be considered proficient.

Nah, Barrack Obama was not a fluke, it was us making it happen. Too many people gave their lives to get us here for us to throw up hands and cry “They Win! I give up, wah, wah waahhh!” Either join the resistance or stay out our way. It took interference from another country, FBI meddling and voter suppression to elect…

Thank you, John Lewis.

I think we can definitely say no, Trump does not know how any branch of government works.

In several Key States the difference between Trump and Hillary was lower(in some cases far lower) than the number of people who voted Stein.

Living in a ‘factors leading to’ paragraph is terrifying.

Hearing Rubio grill Tillerman yesterday was great and all, but it all feels too little too late to me.

I find this to be an unpopular opinion among my largely 35-50 year old friends, but goddam I love my e-reader and I don’t care who knows it. It has that nice e-ink thing so it looks just like a novel. I can carry a kajillion books in one tiny package. It remembers what page I was on. I needed a third book in a trilogy…

Demitra Umbridge?

Buzzfeed, Teen Vogue & Cosmo are hard hitting journalistic outlets now. Let that sink in.

But it’s perfectly fine if it’s that bitch Clinton and her emails 10 days before the election ...right?

No, the fact various members of leadership in our country were briefed on this story is not up for debate. It isn’t ‘according to Buzzfeed’ that this intelligence exists and is newsworthy, it isn’t according to anyone or anything, actually, as facts don’t need support to maintain existence. Just what can be confirmed…

fave joke thus far:

“I really wish she would have stood up last night and said, ‘I didn’t like the election results but he is our president and we’re going to support him.’”

The irony is physically painful.

But the declassified report contained no information about how the agencies had collected their data
