I love this, all the stars for you!

This is SO true. Who knows if the corporation will issue a statement, or just sit back cashing checks. It’s the rank-and-file baristas who will be dealing with all these self-righteous morons, and the clusterfuck that ensues when 5 people in Omaha or Palm Beach or wherever all order drinks under the same name. By all

Word. I feel the same way about the Pence outrage. I know we’re capable of rage at multiple things, but let’s keep the focus on calling senators to oppose the appointment of Jeff Sessions. I can’t believe how much the Hamilton debacle is overshadowing Trump’s $25 million settlement!!!!!!

“Did you hear what those Dixie Chicks said about our president? Let’s buy their albums and then burn them, that will show them!”

This is not a “protest”, it’s a statement!”

It’s times like this I really wish that there WAS a Gay Mafia, and that their Beverly Hills chapter could make her life a living hell.

I just went to one yesterday. It was an interesting mix of women. Some have zero experience in politics or grassroots organizing, others like me had spent a lot of time organizing and protesting before. There are lawyers, city planners, mental health providers, teachers, it was a pretty good crew. I could envision

I was seriously just considering paying for WaPo since I relied on them so much this election season. FUCK them. I’ll just donate to ProPublica instead.

It’s far more costly as a society to have so many people be uninsured. Think about the toll it takes on ERs alone. So supporting ACA makes fiscal sense in addition to being ethical.

So much true to all of this. This is why I buy 85% of my clothing secondhand. You shouldn’t be able to buy a new shirt or shorts for $5. If you can, it means they were made in deplorable working conditions. And yes, if Trump himself condemns jobs going abroad while manufacturing his clothes abroad, it’s going to take

Trump and his supporters are so goddamned shortsighted. Do they realize how much it will cost to deport or incarcerate that many people (in money, not even talking about the fucking emotional toll to the families and communities that will be dismembered)??

1) To be clear it was NOT just about race, it was also about sexism, xenophobia and Islamaphobia.

That has crossed my mind...

Ahahahaha cool. Great. They’re probably women who can also afford to go to Canada if they need a safe and legal abortion. Fuck poor women, right?

HER TIME IS FUCKING VALUABLE. This is why the “professional protestors” shit ENRAGES me. When I think about the hours I have spent marching in protest, planning for protests, running teach-ins about preparing for protests, planning teach-in about preparing for protests, renting vans to drive people to protests in D.C,

I think it’s easy to be impressed by such maps, but the blues areas ARE more populous. My state (MI) went red, which is impressive until you remember that the counties of Metro Detroit are most populous and voted Clinton. The red portions are comprised of a few rednecks and lots of badgers and wolves.

I hear you, I grew up in the conservative South and had to fight a lot of social influences to become the radical feminist I am today. I try to keep that in mind with my students. My university is a bizarre combination of students of color, Muslim students (SE Michigan has a large Muslim / Arabic population), and

I fear that too, as do my female students. No one ever told me in grad school that someday I would be explaining how IUDS work to female students scared of losing their reproductive rights. I’m 5 months pregnant, a choice I made with my partner, but it’s only made me more prochoice. I’m an adult woman, not an

And now I’m crying too. FUCK.

I’m reminded again of the gapping chasm between what could have been and what will be. I’m 35, will there be a female president in my lifetime???
