I like to think it is encouraging to see new people coming out. Yes, it is great to see people caring enough to come out for more than one cause. But that is not a realistic standard to hold people to. Black Lives Matters woke up a lot of people to get involved and speak up for the first time. Was the right reaction…

Thank you for writing this (the post, but also the comment). As a white woman, I sincerely want to be worthy of your trust but also find myself reacting predictably without meaning to. It’s hard to admit, but sometimes I read a post of this sentiment and my first response is to feel defensive, as though I’m being…

I’ve not attended BLM or MMIW marches, because I’m always hearing how white women are a distraction from the issue, and it gets all into privilege and white washing and stuff, so I support from home however I can think of. If I’m actually welcome, I’d get on my boots and walk along.

I sometimes wonder if republicans infiltrate progressive communities just to stoke this shit. Dividing the liberal vote by promoting the idea that Hillary wasn’t liberal enough, and now this. Dismissing these marches, which as far as I can tell were intentionally very inclusive, as nothing but “white feminism,” which…

That’s a very valid conversation that needs to be had, though. A lot of progressive issues only get attention from the Left once they start affecting white people. And then white people dominate the discussion.

I’m sort of baffled by the characterizations of these marches as being ‘white women things’. The one I went to in Cleveland seemed incredibly inclusive. There were Black Lives Matter people, gay people, trans-rights and trans people, people with disabilities, young people, old people, everyone was represented.…

Liberal infighting in 1...2....3.

This isn’t at all about left vs right. This is about a man ill-suited to lead a town of 100 people let alone the most powerful nation on Earth. And he keeps proving this over and over. I thought the election was bad. But the inauguration has been worse.

I know you dumb fucks are upset that we see that you are dumb fucks, and we think that you are dumb fucks, and we call you dumb fucks, and we don’t agree to validate your ignorance and coddle your prejudice, and some people think we’re not supposed to call you dumb fucks “dumb fucks” anymore, but I’m old school. You…

If Trump hadn’t effectively campaigned on division, I’d think you had a point. As it is... meh.

1) Solid argument about Democrats being babies. The “I know you are but what am I” strategy.

Yeah, that electoral college is shit, ain’t it?

Yes! Same here for the great state of Indiana. I was a little concerned since this is the spawning site of satan’s anal fissure Mike Pence, but I was completely overwhelmed by the respect and diversity displayed by speakers and attendees. We had a state representative, a trans man, two Latinas who shared the same…

Reno where I live has a population of about half a million. Latest count for the march was 10K!

Same story here in Kalamazoo, MI. It was fairly small because most people went to Lansing - the organizer here was just planning to walk around town with a couple of her friends, and had enough interest that she registered it as an “official” sister march four days ago. We had a turnout of over 1,100. With four days…

Sounds identical to the one I went to in Edmonton, Canada! Couple thousand peeps, tons of kids, half a dozen smiling cops. An all around peaceful and joyful celebration of awesomeness.

I just want to say how proud I am of everyone who went to the March. I went to the one in Topeka, Kansas, which was pretty small compared to some of the ones around the country (around 3,000 people), but that was so much more than I would have thought for such a die-hard republican state.

Considering he doesn’t like to use anyone else’s property (which is part of the reason they think he isn’t going to use the WH) as he would not own it, I am thinking almost 100%.

I’m very curious myself as to the odds.

What are the odds that he will try and smuggle his own device back in and tweet from it, claiming it was totally the approved device (even though Twitter stats may show different).
