Hey, I’m totally with you that yt ppl need to stfu on matters such as this, and definitely the privilege to somehow hold “ART” above actual oppression is some grade-A bullshit and reminds me of the FREEZE PEACH crowd all day long. I’m a white self-described progressive, and trying to do and be better. Can I ask you if…

I’m just here to say thanks for writing this. I’ve read it a few times but just now I needed it as a way to step back from the overload of well-wishes to Moms everywhere on my feeds today. I don’t begrudge those folks their warm relationships filled with lifelong lovingkindness, and I now know it’s useless to wish my…

WE DID IT! We had a Citizens’ Town Hall in NJ-4th district. Our guy (Chris Smith, anti-choice, anti-LGBTQ, basically the worst ever) didn’t show, but it was really great. Hundreds of people, I spoke about sexual assault in a way that was super unnerving for me but ended up being really great. It was great. And now…

The First Amendment Defense Act is coming, folks. He may leave this intact and then immediately create outs for people who want to discriminate and have the federal government back them up.

And... Corey? Core-ster? Cor-a-rino? Core-meister?

Me too. I laughed so loud and abruptly that it jolted the sleeping dog right next to my lap into farting herself awake.

“He has not been a person to do staged events for the sake of doing staged events.”

I had a related thought. I know this will seem twisted and controversial, but hopefully I won’t totally botch explaining myself:

everybody knows better than to get a gun and fire it up in the air

same, except WV.

a) I knew something was up when the mom, after bursting in, didn’t grab Santa and rip him away from her son’s body, screaming “WHAT THE FUCK!?”

There’s a google chrome extension that replaces Trump family w/pictures of kitties! Personally, I think that it would be better/make more sense if we used pics of Satan, but ok.

I’m thinking about something more aggressive than a tag. I’ve said before that social media should come with a breathalyzer. You’d still be able to post, but depending on your results, your status might automatically have between 1-5 martini emojis added to the end. Just fair warning for your followers.

Ok. Just spitballing here. What if fake news providers were able to bug their decks with some feature so that each time someone shares a link, it automatically changes the sharer’s headline to “THIS IS A FAKE NEWS STORY” and the sharer’s status to “I AM AN IDIOT FOR BELIEVING THIS- DO NOT TRUST ANYTHING I SHARE” or “I…

Cuban Americans maybe? See also: Cruz, Rubio, the response to Fidel’s death of Cuban exiles... conservative leanings in general. I wish I could have a heart-to-heart with one of the most fervent Trump supporters I know, daughter of a Cuban immigrant, to find out how she can justify her anti-immigrant and even more…

“How come you aren’t writing down anything that I’m saying?” he asked 

I want a $14M loan NOW, Daddy!

Y’all.... I wish this mattered. I want it to matter. I worry that it doesn’t matter. I was writing elsewhere about that clip from TrumpLand that is circulating (among conservatives, which just shows how f’ed this cycle is. Conservatives sharing Michael Moore. I mean, I’m pretty sure next up it’s frogs and locusts and…

In speaking with an Indian-American colleague a few days later, I learned that the organizers of the event represent a particular right-wing anti-Muslim faction.

Take heart. I am in a true-blue state and I have seen ONE Hillary sign. ONE. Lots of Trump signs, and no matter which way I go out of my neighborhood I have to pass at least one. I am not worried in any way, shape, or form about my state going for Trump on Nov 8. So, sure, this election has been the Luminol to make…
