I did a volunteer shift as an “local ambassador” at Union Station in DC this morning and now am eagerly waiting for everything to start. Everyone I talked to was super friendly and excited to be here. And I didn’t encounter any Trimp supporters/assholes. So far, so good :-)

FWIW, a report from a liberal bubble coffee shop I go to every Saturday morning, within spitting distance of DC. There is NO ONE here. Usually by now the place is packed, but right now there isn’t even a line at the counter, and it’s only about 25% full. It’s very stark. I can only imagine a lot of my neighbors are…

If you’re old and don’t care, I completely support taking whatever action you feel is appropriate within safety parameters. My WWII grandpa on a scooter wrote to the president and DoD for as long as he could hold a pen. He would have tried to run people down with the scooter this weekend, but he died.

Seeing both couples so much in the past few days has driven something home: There is much joy in the Obamas; there is very little in the Trumps.

She married him for his money. I think we all know this - even Trump fans admit this. Hell, she half-joked about it herself on The View. She doesn’t love him. Her end of the marriage deal is to stay attractive and obedient. She probably does know all about his infidelity and doesn’t care, cause it keeps him off her. I’…

Yes. Also, Michelle is allowed to have more emotions than just love for Barack (although obviously important). She’s allowed to poke at him, mock his dancing, display displeasure, and basically, be a fucking human being. All Melania’s allowed to do is say how amazing her husband is, how the media hates them, and wear…

Look for the Jezebel commenters’ delegation: they will be marching in a phalanx, wearing purple sashes with “Jezebel” written on them. I sewed the sashes!

Hooray for all and half hooray for Peter Sarsgaard!

In terms of style, time & place appropriateness, and sheer gamesmanship:

Wow. Let me point out that the weather in DC right now is rather warm for January. It’s in the mid-40s with no wind chill. I left for work wearing a hoodie, which just doesn’t happen in January. I did a bit of quick research, and on January 20, 2009, it was clear and in the 20s. So more people came out and froze for…

Hillary Clinton, Ivanka Trump and Tiffany Maples are all wearing white. I think The Mall is wearing it best.

You know WMATA will release the numbers. I can’t wait

I once heard someone describe Timberland as the mustard of the rap game. I think that applies to Miguel Ferrer, as well. I wouldn’t want to eat a big old spoonful of him; but, damn, if he didn’t make a sandwich sing.

no snark, no fun, no claiming that we always knew kristin stewart’s intelligence was artificial from me today...because miguel ferrer died, and thats very much not ok. he didnt make one thing i loved, but he made nearly everything i loved better, and i will miss him terribly.

At least Melania looks like she’s having the time of her life.

I can’t wait to see the difference tomorrow when the crowds descend for the Women’s March. I mean, I can, because I’m zero percent looking forward to dealing with the Metro, but I can’t because BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

There’s something immensely likable about Laura Bush. My father who hated the Bushes didn’t dislike her, but he wished someone styled her hair better.

Not to mention it’s not peer-reviewed and was posted on a forum with other straight-to-online published, non-peer reviewed papers, so it’s not even academic. Getting real academic publications takes time, education, and thick skin. So fuck you, Kristin.

Fuck that paparazzi asshole.

While she won’t be FLOTUS anymore, if she stays in the public spotlight (please Michelle Obama, I beg you, please stay in the public spotlight), I would hope she could essentially act as a muse to fashion designers.
