It’s important to call out the lies of the administration.
I don’t know where Sen. Merkley was with his petty self all these years but now that we’ve found him, we are never, ever letting go!
This is some petty shit and I am living for it.
I feel good about the direction this country is going in.
Remember, President* Trump will personally benefit from the pipeline. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: it’s a good thing that his conflicts of interest aren’t over something truly sinister, like helping African children with AIDS.
My Trump-voting colleague has spent the last year interviewing and going through the motions to enroll in a particular federal job training program that would have guaranteed him a significantly higher salary and better benefits than our current job. Hebjust told me that he can’t get hired now because of Trump’s…
LMM will never be insufferable as long as he is using his powers for good, like increasing minority visibility in theater and raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for Planned Parenthood, for example.
I want to be with you on this, I want to say that we should encourage the people who came out to keep doing the same thing, but on the other hand things like these are meant to be challenging. If you go there and you’re triggered by truth in the form of people noting on their signs that 53% of white women voted for…
Just so you know, you can support both at the same time.
I think your instincts about many protesters not being previously involved in BLM protests is probably accurate... although I’d wager many had never protested before in any capacity for any cause at all.
Yeah, that’ll make the first-time marchers feel great. Can we stop picking at people who gave enough of a shit to come out and march in January, and then tell them it isn’t good enough? I think all women need to be respectful of the new-to-protest women who are now galvanized. Coming together on commonalities and…
“I also know several people who felt excluded ... and I think it’s because it was about so many things at once.”
What’s with these purity tests that people on the left require of one another?
Can’t this be a first step? Let’s encourage people to join and listen.
Agreed. Yes, the marching was a great way to signal President Comacho that nobody likes him. But at the same time the real work is yet to come. I have a few FB friends who are doing that 10 actions in 100 days thing and I’m glad to see it.
“Ain’t I A Woman, Too?
I’m not advocating for abstinence, but I do wonder how all these men would feel if their wives and girlfriends began taking the whole “abstinence is the best method of prevention” advice to heart and started a No-Sex Protest against them until they changed their minds.
The focus on “white women” seems odd to me; weren’t the main organizers white, black, Hispanic, and Muslim? Is it more focused on participants?
