My mother and I visited Ireland at the end of August for the first time, and we were excited to see so many people out and about wearing “Repeal the 8th” shirts. Keep fighting the good fight!

Keep fighting the good fight!

And Poles have been protesting en masse all week #czarnyprotest

It’s not a great idea to respond even when you are gray. If someone ungrayed stars or replies to your comment, the asshole/troll/bigot/whatever you responded to will be ungrayed as well. It’s why so many trolls basically have run of the place.

Read the entire thread before you comment.

Or I can at least recognize that there’s a problem. And there is. Do I have the means to fix it? No. Would I prefer an alternative? Yes. At least, at the very least, I recognize there is a problem.

There’s a difference between holding political beliefs and starting an entire company devoted to harassing and trolling people who aren’t Trump supporters.
