At the same time, 300,000 people were thrown off the voting rolls in WI due to our backwards voter ID laws passed since 2012. It’s not unreasonable to suspect that at least 60,000 of those voters were in Milwaukee County.

Walk into the midterms? It’s been three days since the election. None of us is walking into the midterms “looking like crazy people.” But you are right, it does sound like a condescension.

Even more infuriating than the Republicans (because Republicans are nakedly bad and make no bones about it) is the straight white male Democrats who are being way too cool about this election (and white male supremacy generally) instead of actually getting fired up on behalf of the women and POC they proclaim to care…

People like you need to step up and start doing the heavy lifting. Stop leaving it up to women and minorities to exhaust themselves fighting for our rights and recognition as humans and Americans. Of course your reaction isn’t visceral because it’s not your neck on the line. And for that reason you should be acting to…

I think all right minded people have to wake up. Please don’t blame this on Hillary Clinton. Please don’t blame this on the democrats. Blame the Bernie Bros’s—and blame half of a country of racists, misogynists, and ignorant evil people. There is no song and dance that wins these people over. They’re hateful; they’re…

I thought the one silver lining from this catastrophe would be that this country would finally have to accept its systemic white supremacy but nope. 48 hrs later and we’re talking about unity?! Fuck that! I understand Hillary conceding and Obama meeting him for the continuity of our democracy but what about everyone…

When they tell you to calm down they mean “be quiet so I can pretend I’m not a horrible person!”

As usual, you’re dog-whistling that turnout among blacks and browns was down from 2012, so Hillary lost. Don’t black and brown people do enough for this thankless country? We gotta shoulder building the democracy too??!!! One that barely recognizes us? Please.... 2008, 2012 were anomalies...due to the gifted and…

FUCK OFF. It’s not their fucking bodies. And no. Men can leave and pay some fines. They can put the kid up for adoption. Imagine being told you had sex and now you are forced to grow that child in your abdomen for almost 10 months experiencing nausea, vomiting, sluggishness, visibility by everyone around you, possibly…

And stop telling me libertarians aren’t against women’s choice, only against the government spending for it. If the government covers men’s viagra and penis pumps then it needs to cover women and protect women. The entitlement those who don’t have a uterus has never been more on display in my lifetime than the last 3…

THANK YOU FOR THIS. I will NOT calm down. Although I won’t violently protest, I will continue to, loudly, state my opposition to this shitbag. It was bad enough when he got elected, but having my twin 16 year-old daughters crying and asking me “How can someone who says it’s OK for rich white men to grab my genitals be…

I think the people who feel this is only a four year nightmare are sadly kidding themselves. With unfettered control of all three branches of goverment, the republicans can enshrine in law all the tools they use to cheat. It will be very very hard to unseat them. Certainly, the house will be out of reach, so any…

I keep seeing it all over social media, long missives along the lines of - “I voted for Trump, but I’m not a racist, misogynist, homophobe and here’s why- how dare you label me as such?”

I’m all for finding hope wherever you can but I read stories about that incident at DNC HQ too, and the young staffer sounds like an idiot. He also railed that it’s Brazile’s fault climate change will “take 40 years off (my) life!” He said she’ll die of old age but he’ll “die of climate change.” Drama queen much?

Before we blow up the establishment (which isn’t necessarily a bad idea), it should be noted the Democrats had more votes for president, senate, and congress.

I greatly appreciate anyone right now who reiterates how NOT NORMAL this is and has been. Anyone who treats this as a “you win some, you lose some, lets work together now” election can shut the hell up. The fact that this happened means we know nothing- and anything can happen.

Yeah, I just had to tell a young woman at work, that yes, her “nice” white friends who voted for Trump because they wanted “change,” not because they’re racist, can fuck off along with the KKK. I told her that to people like me, there is no difference between an openly racist person and a person who simply doesn’t…

I have a tiny but hopeful story too. Just s little instagram comment on NatGeo’s picture of a gay couple embracing. A lot of vile comments were being posted as you might imagine. Some elderly looking white lady just commented ‘God makes no mistakes❤️’. Seems kind of silly but I was touched by it so I thanked her for…

lol wakes up the Dems by taking out their anger on a black woman?

Thank you, Harry Reid. The second worst thing about this election is how quick the Republicans- who hate Trump - have been to normalize his presidency. This is not normal, this is not right.
