Trump is going to build pipelines through Native First People’s land. He is also “othering” all non-white men and crimes against Native First People has already increased.

Two things I think should be required in every high school class: transdisciplinary critical thinking and substantive statistical analysis.

I really want some Native Americans to form a parody ethno-nationalist group and call for the peaceful repatriation of all immigrants. Watch the white nationalists’ heads spin.

“To other people, it may seem like nothing is happening,” she says while on the bus. “But we feel it, you know? These looks that inhibit you, that make you feel uncomfortable deep down inside.”

Our 3rd grader asked us, point blank, “how could people vote for someone who is racist?” the day after the election. Besides being heartbreaking, my wife and I really had a tough time giving him any sort of answer that wasn’t just “some people do stupid/terrible things”.

Yeah, that pissed me off, too. Um, the Clintons’ charitable foundation donates million of dollars each year to really useful projects that help people. And Cheeto Mussolini manages to convince a goodly number of people that he’s more upright and charitable than that?

Several of them denied that there are fewer black people than white people in the US. And the school, city, and state were without question NOT anywhere near majority black.

A few days after the election, a family member in high school found swastikas scrawled on some books he had left in the library. The Cheetolini supporters in the extended family were twisting every way they could to insist that this had nothing to do with the election. It was just a coincidence!

I’ve shared before, but I was out at a bar in NE DC with friends and as soon as Trump won Ohio a group of college students started doing Nazi salutes and cheering. Fun fact? These were Gallaudet students, so they are all hearing impaired. Pretty sure neither Trump nor Hitler respected the deaf. Obviously wenleft the…

Wasn’t the whole point of the Lord of the Flies that when the adults wage war the kids will too? I think what we seeing is that if adults act like assholes, kids will too.

But they act like shitheads in part because they’re testing boundaries—they’re developing a sense of what is and isn’t an okay way to act. And they’re learning, now, that it’s socially acceptable to be hateful. So, like, yes, kids are always assholes, but that doesn’t mean that this isn’t cause for concern, or that…

This was one of my many fears about Donald Trump being elected: that racism would be “normalised”. It’s really hard to tell kids that racism is wrong, when Donald became President in part by appealing to racist behaviour.

Middle school teacher here: I have had five major racist incidents (That we know of) this year, which is five more than my previous nine years of teaching combined.

“The incidents BuzzFeed collected didn’t just occur in states where Trump won; they were documented in even “liberal” cities that overwhelmingly voted against him, proving that his rhetoric is pervasive and damaging beyond his frenzied supporter rallies.”

I’m announcing the founding of My Dad Thinks Gays Are Bad and Trump is Good Foundation. Please donate your used cars and old socks full of horse shit so I can lob them at his face.

Yup. By getting jobs at coal mines and making America great again.

I fantasize about forming a squad of women who beat the ever loving shit out of a few leacherous men and abusers to give the rest of their gender a little something to think about.

A lot about the election and Trump made me angry, but the differences between how much negative spin the Clinton Foundation got in comparison to the Trump “charitable” foundations got just might piss me off the most (besides the result... and the sexual assault accusations not getting much play... okay I really can’t…

Yup. Well-meaning words I actually heard from my own mother, when I complained about the cat-calling: “You should wear a full-length raincoat when you have to walk there.”

And how (well-meaning) people react often makes it worse... they don’t respond well. I went into puberty and “developed” really early, and my dad would constantly say things like “don’t wear that skirt,” “wear a sweater,” or “show less skin,” like the Powerpuff Girls t-shirt and skort I was wearing were too mature for…
