I have half-jokingly floated George Clooney’s name out there. He’s a famous white guy who’s also incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable. Clearly America doesn’t give a shit about prior governing experience.

Have you seen Shaun King’s twitter feed as well? He’s been collecting stories like these as a result of Drumpf’s being elected into office.
Shaun King is doing a pretty good job of posting a lot of this stuff on Facebook if you want to follow him there.
We better start thinking ahead folks. Here’s the thing, it’s not that a Republican won that bothers me. It’s that we elected a man that’s openly xenophobic, racist, misogynist, a liar/makes shit up with zero proof, has a short fuse, and to top it off, has zero governing/military experience!!!!! And Trump has a…
It’s okay, sometimes I lapse out of acceptance-and-planning-to-undermine mode back into either rage or tears. It happens.
Stronger together.
This is definitely the worst week of my adult life. This is the first time as an adult I’ve felt the terror, smallness and helplessness I felt almost every week of my life as a child.
Yes! And wear a safety pin so people know you do not support Donald Trump and you are a safe space. (This was originated in the UK after the Brexit vote.)
Canucklehead here -
I’m through most of the stages of grief. Drank too much election night after convincing myself Clinton would still win, cried on and off for days, got pissed at Comey and 3rd party voters, and now ready to fight. Acceptance is not fucking happening.
It’s horrifying what we see before us, what this election tells us about the beliefs and justifications of our body politic. The work before us is deeper, more complex, and potentially more horrifying than we ever imagined.
I’m waiting for some high-up orgs to step up with action plans we can all jump on to fix this impossible mess. Also can we get a killer legal team to swoop in and back the 13 victim’s of Trump’s sexual assault?
I’ll be here waiting for you. In the mean time I’m just preparing for tomorrow’s protest at Union Square.
These experiences are tragic, I’m so sorry. I regret most of all that this no good, very bad week is making many of us relive and remember a lot of the worst times in our lives, because this will join it. It really does seem like something that will forever change the way we look at our worlds.
I like how they’re more bothered by us complaining than the racial attacks that are happening. It’s the definition of privilege.
This. This is all I can think to console myself. She has been so fucking strong, for so many years, she has been shamed and demonized and humiliated by people on all sides. And she kept putting herself out there. She didn’t back down, she didn’t give up, she didn’t hide. She is SO brilliantly, ridiculously strong. I…
I’ve always seen her as warm and inviting. I’ve never understood how people could see otherwise.
It may not be just about that.
She is grace, personified. That is all I can think when I see how she has handled this like the goddamn professional that she is. I’m sure she’s had her moments privately. But for the public, for us, she is showing her strength - yet again.
Also, all this does is publicize that a good deal of the country does not support Trump. Why is that wrong? Part of the opposition is to use “psychological warfare” against the enemy. Whatever we can do to hurt Trump’s image, we need to do. We need to effing destroy that white nationalist piece of garbage by…
