I really do not understand why the entire country isn’t completely freaking out and demanding a new election or an early impeachment or something ANYTHING because this is actually so so so so fucking bad.

Right? Like that pictures proves that immigrants are a part of our country and that DACA recipients have bright futures contributing to America.

Thanks for posting this so I didn’t have to. I have been hearing so many people lately saying “just do it legally” in regards to immigration. Its pretty damn hard to become a citizen. My boyfriend is a DACA recipient and still the easiest way for him to get citizenship is if we got married, and that still can be a 3-5…

This is like when people got pissy at Mad Men for being sexist. Um...its a period piece set in New York City in the 60s. Its just being realistic.

One of my very funny friends and I hung out the other day for the first time in a while. We were joking about door holding and chivalry and he goes “Is that why there’s always a long line at the women’s restroom? Because there’s no guy around to open the door for you all?? How do you go anywhere?!?!”

The few clips I’ve seen of her I’m always struck by how obvious it is she’s reading off a teleprompter.

Oh, for sure. I grew up in and still live in Miami and people are going wild here. Growing up as a kid in South Florida, we’re essentially taught that Castro is almost to the same level of evil as Hitler. I am not being sarcastic. The man is utterly reviled down here. It is SO interesting to watch Miami Cubans’…

This is NOT snarky, I swear, but did you watch the episode of Girls where she says “I am the voice of a generation.”?? To me, it was always clear that that line was a joke and meant to display how narcissistic and clueless the character was. I guess a lot of people took it seriously, ran with it, and here we are,…

Nailed it. I swear, the sheer hatred and disgust directed towards her has baffled me for years at this point. I really think that a few people on the internet had issues with her and it ballooned into this huge witch hunt that she, frankly, doesn’t deserve. That Instagram post is so innocuous. She’s really just not…

“I really wish Dems would make a bigger deal about how far ahead she is in the popular vote.” Same here. I am actually somewhat surprised that this isn’t a bigger deal. The interesting thing is that in a way, the Electoral College was created for expressly this purpose - if the American people elected an imbecile, the…

Yes, and I think this goes for a lot of voters in general. I am a Clinton supporter and happily voted for her in the primaries and general election, however, I do come from a social scene that was allllllll about the “lesser of two evils” stuff. All the way up until the election these people were posting about how…

Thank you for saying this. I’m confused at all these comments - West berated two people on stage multiple times and encouraged a fascist for president. These are two narcissistic people who live for the camera and have contributed nothing. How come this Trump supporter gets a pass but all the…

Yeah, I saw that twitter picture of the three of them doing the Hitler salute with the caption saying “Seig Heil!” and I just...don’t...understand...????

And just such blinding privilege! As a straight white American woman I am “safe” from Trump’s presidency, but my boyfriend, a DACA recipient, will most definitely lose his job come January and god forbid may actually get deported. Sarandon has nothing to lose, millions of others do.

Yeah, what is up with that? I don’t really watch much Bill Maher but I watched his season finale recapping the election results. He said the two biggest problems with contemporary liberals is being PC and accepting Islam. I thought it was very odd.

Yeah I know, that is one of the things stopping me. I’m also considering moving to a deep red state and continue teaching, and maybe run for school board there. I don’t know, just trying to figure out what to do from this point forward.

I am considering a move to DC so that I can be in the center of everything. I am currently a social studies teacher so I’d like to continue teaching, and then just dedicate every second of my free time to volunteering for PACs and interest groups and any organizations working for immigrant rights, reproductive rights,…

I was 9 when Bush was elected to office. I remember my mother viscerally hating him but didn’t specifically know why. Now that I am a history teacher and active political American, I know. And I watched Fahrenheit 9/11 for the first time the other week and it kind of terrifies me because I see (some) similarities…

This is exactly what I was talking about with my boyfriend recently. No one really reads anything anymore and the internet is, in a way, kind of a negative in that regard. People just see headlines and biased articles and make their decision off of that.

I am going to the Inauguration as a chaperone for the high schoolers I teach. I was so sure it’d be the inauguration for the first woman president. The other chaperones and I are pretty grim. I’d love to participate in this but I’ll be working of course. I send my best thoughts and encourage every woman to join!
