It means that Trump was not the choice of the majority of American voters. It means that for the second time in 16 years, a Republican president has been chosen against the democratic will of the people. It means that Donald Trump cannot honestly claim a mandate to rule according to his whims. It means that calls for…

I started reading these and then had to stop and start scanning them briefly because I would be full-blown sobbing if I continued trying to engage with each one.

I told my 4 year old son, through tears, on the drive home yesterday what had happened. I said “Hon, Hillary didn’t win the election yesterday. Donald Trump won and he is going to be president.”

Yes! I need to DO something. Commenting on the internet is not gonna be enough. Action must be taken and it needs to start now.

Yes. Yesterday I was beyond functional. I literally canceled a work call because I just could not do it (the person it was with wrote back and said thank you). I work with mostly women, and we sat in our office and cried while watching her speech.

Let the rage flow. Let it be a constructive rage, but let it flow.

I... I’m just speechless about this. What the everloving fuck, People.

It’s like we’re safe in the cities but utterly hopeless against the teeny municipalities that take up so much space in our state.

There’s no reason women should have to take all of the risks and responsibilities for preventing unwanted pregnancy.

I’m getting a vasectomy.

I’m really grateful that I avoided all coverage last night but waking up this morning to it was heartbreaking. I didn’t sleep well but I enjoyed the extra hours of hope.

My best friend and I are going to join the League of Women Voters. It’s a small step but it’s the best we could do today.

I saw a great meme today that said her 1st act as First Lady will be to find moose and squirrel.

It took me a second to realize you were referencing your username, not your boss just being racist since Trump won.

Got a better one. Get to work. Volunteer. Donate your time and/or money at organizations that support the same causes you do. Run for local office. Protest peacefully. Protest not-so peacefully.
