Effects are already being felt in my sector (non-profit). We are collectively shitting ourselves. Since last Tuesday, there have been press releases, frenzied emails and requests for meetings to strategize. We can’t afford to wait. When they repeal the ACA, there is a going to be a major overhaul of social services…

you know what i will miss most about obama?

I used to be a federal employee, I’m married to one, and know lots. And one thing I can tell you is that there are a lot of conservative federal employees and I have no doubts that many voted for Trump. They’re a sizable minority, but they’re out there. And in my experience, they are going to be stunned when Trump and…

I heard some brief interview with a women and she just owned it “I’m a black person in America, I always have to be the bigger one!”

I just reserved 2 rooms that sleep 4 for $119 (refundable) at the Washington Hilton in Dupont Circle on Hotels .com.

I’ll be there. What are personal days for?

It’s Power.

I so hear you. I write about rich people for a magazine and do not think I can handle doing this month’s piece on beauty tips for the wealthy and conservative. I just can’t. FIX YOUR UGLY SOULS FIRST.

Same. I worked from home on Tuesday, which consisted of drinking wine, until the results started coming in and I switched to whiskey. Finished the whiskey Wednesday morning, which I had already requested off. Thursday I was too hungover and depressed, so I took that off, and today I made it in, but I was in a bad way,…

Why did it take a white woman on the ticket in order for so many white Democrats to register a fact that has been true for 50 years? I’m fucking serious. Instead of fussing over all those other white people who voted for Trump, maybe this is a good moment for self-reflection. If it surprises you that a majority of…

Just a note:

She is so right. I really have been laboring over that question with every fellow white person I run into: did you vote for Trump? 

nah

“Santa is white.”

We didn’t.

I’m starting to think that maybe we shouldn’t have elected this fella President, you guys.

It’s like each rust belt person who lost their job now equals 2 million voters.

At that age teens can be such narcissists, and they all think their experience is the norm. Not to mention that we have all been guilty of cloistering ourselves in echo chambers this election season. So it’s important for them to be reminded of experiences and voices other than their own. And as I tearfully told my…

I’m a high school teacher at a conservative boarding school in Virginia. Here is the letter I wrote to my (mostly Trump-supporting) students.

Yesterday, distraught, I called my parents seeking some kind of solace and wisdom. They kindly reminded me that they had watched Nixon get re-elected in 1972, Reagan get re-elected in 1984 and Dubya get re-elected in 2004.
