The man who should have been our president. I weep every time I see a photo of him. He’s the only candidate that could reach out to anyone regardless of their political beliefs because he was pure and not corrupted.

I feel so betrayed by neo-liberals who STILL don’t get it. You can’t be on the right side of civil rights issues if you’re beholden to the corporations and industries that are on the wrong side of those battles. “Identity politics”, a.k.a. civil rights, and economics, are inseparable, and I’m pretty much done with…

Born in 1980 and convinced barely out of childhood of the impending disasters of climate change and corporate capture, I think many of us have seen this coming our whole lives. Being able to say, “I told you so” is empty. I can’t live in hopelessness or despair. I will resist until they physically stop me, because…

That would just be a move to placate people, delay and hope they move on and forget about this. If it happens at all. There is simply too much money in play for people who are suddenly in charge of the US government.

This is why you don’t trust populists, kids. I don’t care whether they have a D, an R, or an I next to their name, the only thing a populist is good for is telling you that you’re right to be angry and that they can make it all better. They are not good at actually making it better.

Even a cursory look at the Standing Rock protests shows that it’s not about just a pipeline or water. The US government and white America has always considered the needs of us POC or even our right to exist and our dignity as people secondary to not only their needs, but their wants. Native Americans have borne a…

Yes. A lot of state capitols, including red states, are organizing marches as well. So for those who can’t afford to travel to DC but happen to live near a capitol city and can take a day off work there is a second option!

It cannot be overstated how contingent this infrastructure is on banks. ALL of them. Everyone who can should transfer their mortgages, credit cards, savings accounts to local credit unions, and their investments to oil-free funds. These alternatives exist, and are often better products than their filthy counterparts.

ARE. They ARE about more than water. They are ongoing; none of the protest camps are closed. For why see also here (additionally, he’ll reverse this):

Two jobs and too far. SO yes, please... in spirit is all I got.

Truth. If you go, know that you are representing so many who wish they could be. We will be wishing you well. We will be thankful to each and every one of you for pissing on his parade. Every piss counts. There is not enough piss in the world. Godspeed.

On the other hand, the President-elect is a man with a long history of antipathy towards Native Americans and the very notion of sovereign Indian nations.

YES. And paying for an increasingly small pool of hotels? That’s ANOTHER reason why I encourage people to explore if there are inauguration protests happening in their own state that day. Let’s remind out state reps that Trump doesn’t have a mandate, and not just fill the coffers of D.C. and MD hotels.

Lots of us will be marching in other cities - I will be at the Austin march because while I can afford the plane ticket, I don’t have the time to take off work, and I honestly feel the money I would be spending on travel could be better used for donations. But - I am hopeful that there will be thousands of people in…

Take some time to talk to the Water Protectors that are facing hostile racism and threats from locals. There have been multiple reports. Some have already filed complaints.

I hope this is the beginning of our civil rights movement. Especially with Trump coming into power, we need to band together.

Jesus. I’m sitting here in my nice warm house, about to take a nice hot shower...and I’m crying :(

Those pictures are amazing, for both what they literally show and the story behind them.

The US Army is currently handing out blankets....
