I feel you... I got rid of my social media the day he won, but on Insta before I was unfollowing anyone who said something positive about him. Maybe that makes me a “child” but I can’t emotionally handle the racist and sexist rhetoric.

My sister teaches at a charter school for immigrant children. Most of them are documented, but many of their parents aren’t. They are terrified, and they have good reason to be. Everyone was crying yesterday. All they could tell them was, “he’s not president yet. We have time to make a plan to protect you.” So think…

I wish the men that did vote for him could be marked - I need to know before I end up dating one of them. So many men in my life fooled me and that’s the worst feeling ever.

Yeah I’m still waiting for God to do whatever it is these people are afraid he’s going to do to us for legalizing gay marriage.

Ding ding ding! They don’t give a good goddamn about actual sexual assault victims, just the hypothetical ones they conjure up in their fear-soaked brains.

Did the lawsuit of all the women represented by Gloria Allred who came forward to accuse him of assault get dropped too? And will the president-elect still have to go to trial for Trump University? Can they assign a president-elect jail time? I haven’t heard anything about Trump U and assume it would be settled…

Jim Crow is not coming back, Muslims aren’t being deported.

This is my attempt to engage those supporters in a conversation. To turn the gloating into dialogue. I can only hope it will help, a little.

his dangerous “gender identity” directives

We now have definitive proof that gay marriage changes fuck all in people’s lives. But apparently 2016 is the year that common sense, decency and actual facts have left the building so these NOM assholes will probably do well.

I’m not trying to convince them to convert to anything. I’m asking them, regardless of whom they supported in the election, to listen and try to understand those who are scared. If I can’t ask my students to think, listen, and learn, then what kind of teacher am I? I certainly don’t believe that all they need to…

“The majority of Americans who voted” is the part that terrifies me a bit. Like you, I’m heartened by the fact that Hillary won the popular vote, but I’m saddened that voter turnout’s downward trend has seemingly continued. If this election didn’t embolden you to make your voice heard, I’m not sure what will.

The number of people who have told me recently that the electoral votes are proportional to population makes me sad.

It doesn’t mean Trump can’t declare a mandate to rule at his whims. He not only won the Presidency, but his party won Congress. Even if we look at him losing the popular vote as a hindrance, we have to accept the fact the American public handed him a second branch of our government on a silver platter.

I tried to say this to adult humans today and they just laughed at me. I hope your students fare better.

It does mean something: that a majority of voters chose Hillary Clinton. It’s a way for us to understand that half the country is with us, regardless of the Electoral results.

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…

At that age teens can be such narcissists, and they all think their experience is the norm. Not to mention that we have all been guilty of cloistering ourselves in echo chambers this election season. So it’s important for them to be reminded of experiences and voices other than their own. And as I tearfully told my…

I’m a high school teacher at a conservative boarding school in Virginia. Here is the letter I wrote to my (mostly Trump-supporting) students.

He DID NOT GET THE MOST VOTES. Hillary Clinton did. She has every right to be sitting in the White House today, meeting with Michelle and Barack, enjoying the act of planning the future of our planet and our children.
