I watched her speech in a restaurant on CNN or something and right afterwards, the commentator pointed out how emotional she was, and compared it to all the other times she’d been emotional. It was very hard not to flip a fucking table.

I’ve actually heard people in the muslim and LGBTQ communities in more rural areas say that they really appreciate the safety pins. It’s both a sign of solidarity and helps them feel better. If nothing else, it starts conversations among white people and that’s going to be important. As a WOC, there are conversations…

Okay, so white people (and others, including friends of color, and men in general) should not try to let vulnerable people know they are on their side?

It’s not just happening in the US. Brexit and Trump have made racists and fascists around the world braver. This is one of the reasons why the US election impacts on the world at large.

Here it is, the tweet that starts the story.

Oh please. I’m a teacher and a white male. And if one of my students is in distress, I will help them. If my wearing a safety pin enables them to recognize me as someone to turn to, then I goddamn well will wear a safety pin. I’m in a good position to know resources to which they can turn. Of course there will be…

A friend of mine on the day after the election stated that he planned on flossing his teeth first, because he couldn’t see any way that could be bad, and figuring out through next step after that.

I love my sister and her husband is like my best buddy. My kids adore them, we have holidays together, and we vacation together. They are racist, sexist bigots. We normally don’t talk about politics, and if we do, it is fleeting. Although the supported Trump, they were too lazy to vote.

While I am still going to try to treat people with respect and dignity, I am also going to claim what is mine. MY space. MY body. MY time. If you want to infringe upon any of those things, be prepared to face the consequences. Otherwise, we should get along just fine.

Yesterday I went out and was super paranoid. Today is no different. I want to fight back but this is a spectacularly painful blow. I feel betrayed by my neighbors even. Its hard when you arent in a big metropolitan city like NYC and youre a POC in a small white suburb. The threat is so much larger. Ugh. I am so…

You should post Kumail’s entire story. That one tweet is a little confusing and not as effective on its own, without context. I thought his series of tweets were important to read.

Time to go look for those Horcruxes.

I’m very disappointed with Bernie’s responses and nearly broke my tv and remote the other morning when Michael Moore was going on about poor misunderstood white men.

The “it was about class” idiots are delusional. I think a lot of Dems would really “like” it to be about class, when Hillary *won* on the economy. The number one concerns of Trump voters cited were Immigration [dogwhistle: Mexicans] and Terrorism [dogwhistle: Muslims]. And that’s it. That’s why he won very simply.

You get the feeling people have fed him the facts but they just run out of his brain like a sieve.

Seriously. Obama was so young when he took office and now looks like he’s aged twenty years.

my stepfather broke down on the day Trump was elected and confessed to us that he is undocumented. he was able to leave safely today morning and he’s returning to his home country via Canada. my mom will leave soon after to join him. we’re fortunate to be economically stable, and i have to stop myself from thinking of…

My FB feed is filled with the hot takes of white guys blaming the Democrats like that screaming British head video they keep posting. They sure showed us for fronting a woman candidate! (and white women share in this to our shame)

Although maybe part of the wall will actually be “fencing”
