And the rest of the Republicans are doing everything they can to shield him.

This is the problem right now, and why Trump is winning this war for the actual power in America: people are still dealing with him in civil and normal terms, as if both sides of this fight were operating inside the same boundaries of democracy and public accountability. As this Senator is doing, expecting that such a…

Calling it a “betrayal” is terrifying. She took a stand, one that is valid and defensible, and rather than even try and talk with her or convince her they just removed her and replaced her. Replaced with a stooge that will of course open the whims of the authoritarians in the White House inner circle.

2001 here.

I can once again (or maybe, for the first time) be proud of my Eagle Scout badge (1973).

Thank you for getting it. Here are some facts about the current crisis you may not have as well as some things you can do.

Because it’s clearly more than just the “redneck” or “Evangelical” who voted for him. It’s the friendly woman who brings donuts at work. The mother of your child’s best friend. The boss who loves you. The teacher at your kid’s school. And it’s the extended network of those people who didn’t vote for Trump, but didn’t…

My favorite quote of all time, from Audre lorde- the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. It opened my eyes and since reading it i have dedicated my life to not being one of the master’s tools.
There is momentum here...I will spread the work of Black writers among the people I hear talking about…

Thank you, Joanna! I know there are tons of people (like me) who live in the middle of nowhere and can’t get to protests (and have already called our Congresspeople) but still want to help. Posts like this are awesome!

The only response I can think is to my fellow white ladies:

This is why black women say, “solidarity is for white women” because these calls to “come together” always happen when black women bring up the racial dynamic and how that plays into the sexism they face.

I think they’re just testing the waters.

So much fucking smoke. Eye on the ball. The question is fucking simple: when you were presented with the choice between Clinton or Trump what did you do? Did you whine like a little bitch and stay home crying with your Bernie bro friends on /r/sandersforpresident? Did you boldly make a statement and protest vote for…

I’m so worried for the people who were coerced into signing those papers pushed on them.

The disturbing, unwritten part of this story, is that ICE agents seem to be doing their job with excessive gusto, intimidation, and cruelty, rather than any sense of caution. This compliance by the rank and file is how tyrants steamroll a society into submission.

Omg that woman was a freaking rock. Brava, and I’m so sorry on behalf of our beyond fucked country.

All these ignorant fools are jumping on this, “Not just Jews” bandwagon like they actually give a crap about any of those other, “innocent victims”. Looking at the other groups I’m going to say they hate them as well. But they hate Jewish people more.

But pretending like we all suffer the same isnt based in reality.

THANK YOU! Yayyyy a new project!

That was a hell of a mess and Selma really disappointed me.
