Can we start a foundation for women who have to travel for abortions that pays for the cost of transport, accommodation, medical costs, child care, and lost wages? Because I want to do that!

Absolutely. The Slot has been a gift.

Can we just have a round of appreciation here for the Jezebel writers, who have been ON THIS SHIT like nobody’s business? I am filled with love right now.

Agreed. Too many people seem to believe that having the Right Feelings is the same as fighting for progress.

Coming from someone with a family that sounds very much like yours, my advice is to pick your battles wisely. When they’re going full crazy, I ignore it. You can’t reason with full crazy. When they make offhand comments stating things that are easily proved wrong or simply say something bigoted, I confront them as…

We won’t see a presidential press conference of this caliber once Trump takes over.

CALL THEM ANYWAY.

“If your relatives voted for Trump, you have to respect that.”

This is vile. Millennials, YOU have a lot of power right now. The holidays are coming up. If your relatives voted for Trump, you have to respect that. And they have the right to disagree on policy. But if your dad, uncle, whomever is using misogynist language or being a bully, you have a choice. You can call your…

Harry Reid is supposedly addressing this on the floor tomorrow.

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.

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…

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…
