Apples and oranges + a dash of lies.

You can take bigly from my tiny orange hands.

And here how much the DeVos family has contributed to the senators that will be voting on her:

I was thinking the same thing. And the Right are the ones insisting that we need all these voting restrictions to combat an apparent flood of perfectly executed voter fraud perpetrated by the left, but the only people who got caught trying to commit voter fraud in the last election were Trump supporters...

And the right wing constantly accuse the left of using payed protesters. Project much?

Expecting black people to be grateful to white people for ending slavery is like asking a woman to be grateful to her rapist for getting up off of her once he’s done.

Not only that, but Lincoln only truly did it because it was a more politically useful way to help bring an end to the war. Most European countries had already outlawed it and would be seen as hypocrites if they continued doing business with the Confederacy, so Lincoln helped force their hand. I just don’t like Lincoln…

I now find myself wondering, “why even bother with the charade?”. These guys don’t care about anything aside from their own self-interests, and Congress doesn’t give two shits about what they say or do because they can finally do whatever they want without having to worry about the executive branch vetoing their…

What the fuck is up with the obsession that black people thank a white person for the fact that white people “ended” slavery? That seems to be one of the biggest grievances I hear lately coming from white people. Well, the least they could do is THANK us for what we did. All those good ol’ boys who died freeing slaves…

Me: He’s actually banning people based on religion, holy fuck!
Trumpers: It’s not based on religion, it’s only 7 countries full of terrorists. Remember 9/11?
Me: The guys that did 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan. No one from those countries are subject to the ban.
Trumpers: 9/11 was 15 years ago, what…

I may end up having to avail myself of Samuel’s services. I don’t know yet what sort of un-American thing the CiC could order us to do at the VA, maybe refuse treatment to LGBT/Muslim vets or identify any patients I have that fall into those groups but haven’t declared it, but I have zero intention of following any…

Sure thing. I’m still mostly focusing on the non-disobedient pressure points because I’d like for norms to hold up as long as possible, but there are millions and millions of us and the more angles we come at them, the better. We absolutely out number these shits, by 10 million votes (not just Clinton, Stein and…

This is the only thing that gives me hope. I was absolutely ashamed of this yesterday but seeing everyone come together, seeing the lawyers pour into airports and the courts doing their job gives me hope. People in my very conservative red state have gone off the rails with organizing protests, letter writing events,…

This is how a police state is established, by law enforcement agencies refusing to obey the law, and make no mistake, when an executive action is unlawful, particularly if there is a court order staying the executive order, then refusing to obey said court order is unlawful in itself.

Things will only get more hopeless, especially if we allow ourselves to be complicit with assembling the scaffolding of tyranny. We have to push now, and keep pushing, and refuse to comply.

The border patrol and ICE have raging hard ons for Trump. A lot of people in our government would love nothing more than to be part of a fascist police state.

I’ve seen some calls for a general strike on February 20th, President’s Day. I live in SW Europe where general strikes are an occasional thing but when was the last time the U.S. saw such mass action???  Like for reals. I know a lot of people don’t have the job security to do it, but dang, it would be huge if…

I made a donation to the ACLU this morning. That was the first political donation I have ever made.

General strike. Shut EVERYTHING down. We cannot let this go any further. Everyone in the streets. See you there!

CBP officials at Dulles airport are reportedly still refusing access to lawyers for people being detained, including green-card holders. They won’t let the lawyers talk to anyone, and they’ve even ignored calls from local lawmakers.
