You are not my enemy. Stop that line of thinking. Just because I have different priorities than you, mostly stemming from my race and ethnicity, does not make you my enemy. But POC have been dealing with this, since like, the dawn of time. You know POC experience when liberals and Dems tell us we need to fall in line?…

I agree - I loved that the march in Raleigh that I attended had an unapologetic progressive platform. The speakers were a diverse array of fantastic and involved women activists. We all get mired in our own issues, but it was a great chance to get exposed to volunteer groups and organizations doing good work who…

I was at the LA march too and I’ve seen a lot of discussion of race, but none about class. I had this very strong feeling that the average marcher had at least a college degree. That was what stuck out to me. You couldn’t have rolled a bowling ball down the march without hitting ten PhDs. There was a fairly vocal…

I think the point was to bring attention to the fact that people have been protesting for a while now with little to no help. If the new people are truly wanting to make a difference and are committed to shaping the future, I doubt they would be discouraged reading this.

Seconded.

I think your cynicism is well-placed, sadly. I really do hope that this is a sign of the resistance forming and continuing to fight.

No. Nobody is picking apart something for the sake of it.

I’ve decided to start hosting at my house for these 10 actions things: people come over, I feed them, and then we do the thing. I need the external accountability of being in a group, and it helps make things less scary for those of my friends who are less familiar with political engagement.

I work for an advocacy organization. We all went to the march, with our friends and our families.

I agree, so many people think this was the first step. No, no it was not. Just because it was your first step, certainly doesn’t make it anyone else’s first in a long line of hardships. I too had some side eye, at who might of thought Jill fucking Stein was less “tainted” than Hillary. It is extremely healthy to ask…

Agreed. I was on my way to the march and a white lady on the train told me “If I am out here doing this, something better change.” Almost as if this one act of showing up and marching by someone who already has a great deal of privilege ought to make the difference. I understand the sentiment and I think a lot of…

I attended in Little Rock, which was much, much smaller, but I also thought about the “woo-hoo” girls more frequently than I expected. I don’t know. On the one hand, a lot of people seem very confused about the intentions, which I don’t think is a sign of a super successful march. I also know several people who felt…

Here’s the deal: either punching literal Nazis in the face is morally acceptable, or America has to stop jerking itself off over WWII.

Perhaps you’ve never been called a nigger and told you were gonna get hung from a tree. When you were 10, and in Southern California, in the early 90s. So yes, punching a white Hate terrorist in the face is the right thing to do.

Reasoning with them hasn’t helped anything, treating white supremacy like another idea at the table is what got us here.

That’s because it’s not *always* wrong. It’s *almost* always wrong in *almost* everyone’s daily life. Violence is just a tool in the toolbox. One does not use a hammer to drive a screw, or a soldering iron to cook scrambled eggs. Violence is the tool of choice for dealing with Nazis and other such low forms of life,…

But is it when that person advocates “peaceful ethnic cleansing,” something that has never existed in the history of the world? Genocide by any other name is still fucking unacceptable.

You guys, it is totally not appropriate to be excited about Spencer getting punched in the head. Him getting punched in the balls would have been so much better!

It’s also perfect that he was punched the precise moment he showed off his Pepe pin. It’s like the antifa heard our prayers.
