It really makes you appreciate the situation we’re in when you’re actually hoping for Mitt Romney.

It kind of makes me feel like our parents are getting divorced, Obama’s our real dad, and we have to go live with our drunk, grabby, step-dad. Real dad is trying to make us feel better about it, but we know step-dad is going to get trashed and hit on our under-age best friend. And by that, I mean round up muslims and…

I believe someone on Tumblr described the first Obama-Trump meeting as something like “The first day of law school, and homeboy didn’t do the readings.”

I can only take her in small doses. I don’t want to be critical because she does some great things to really change peoples lives (together rising, refugee fundraising). I agree with so much of her message. I just don’t need to hear it over and over again.

So I read Glennon’s post this morning and I am officially putting myself on notice, no more social media until properly caffeinated. I just thought “aw, that is so cool that she has found such an awesome new bestie. Making friends as an adult is hard.” it never occurred to me that she was saying they were together. I…

Oh, there’s no way in fucking hell the electorate would have voted for a Jewish socialist from Vermont. And aside from the alt right- Even Hillary got more moderate Republicans like Anna Navarro and probably the entire Bush family. But very, very few moderate Republicans would have gone for an actual socialist.

I blame both. I blame those who didn’t vote, and those who voted for Jill Stein but who are now out in the streets protesting. What on god’s green fucking earth were they thinking? Did they think this was some kind of game? Did they think this was an episode from House of Cards, where they could shut down the…

I do not blame those that voted third party as they got up and stated their view. I do blame the 45% of Americans that couldnt be bothered to get off their ass and vote. Just pisses me off that we end up with this dangerous clown because of it.

I’m just pointing to stuff like this every time someone says Bernie would have won. The antisemitism was pretty flagrant this campaign season and the “elite media” is a damn dog whistle that’s been trotted out by everyone who’s feeling even a little resentful, so on what planet do you think they would have gone for…

I want to leave. God I want to leave so bad. But my community is getting better every day, in part because of the people who refuse to leave and who are taking a stand. I know leaving and self segregating myself to a bluer city won’t change anything but on days like today it’s hard.

Thank you for the work you’re doing. Keep going. We’re here if you need internet support.

Some days it is hard to stay in the South and keep fighting the bigots. Today and yesterday have been those days.

It’s ridiculous that anyone believes that Bernie could have won when Drumpf’s campaign was using anti-semitic language and symbolism to attract these people. People need to stop looking for excuses and overlooking the obvious reason which is bigotry. White people had it good, thanks to Obama who pulled them back from…

It’s like each rust belt person who lost their job now equals 2 million voters.
