Yeah, “Cheer up, things may be getting worse at a slower rate!”* is getting pretty old.

But here’s the thing, all the doom and gloom the Right ranted about Obama never happened. No gun control, he was not a Muslim, nor a Kenyan etc etc. However, just in the last week the Republicans voted in the middle of the night to strip millions of their health care benefits, already introducing legislation to…
I made this the other night because fuck this guy
Good for her, I hope these kinds of things get more visibility. The more they see the light, the less we can stop hating on each other. Games should be enjoyed by everyone
If your post starts with “I think of myself as pretty open/open minded”. You’re not.
Loved that movie and the theme about bad government controlling the media and society.
Correct. It isn’t “good,” it’s “great” and “a movie that all Americans should be watching right now.”
This proves that activism; especially by badass tribal members, women, queer folks, PoC, etc.; fucking works. This is amazing news and I’m elated. But: we can’t get complacent. We still have to keep fighting. Keep donating to conservation charities. Keep calling your representatives. Keep being loud. Keep up the good…
I am not a big fan of pageants, but I think, given that they exist and will probably continue to exist for some while, there’s nothing wrong with using a pageant as a forum to spread a message of inclusivity. A lot of people who watch pageants are probably the same people who have never met a Muslim and only know them…
The ability to differentiate between genuine hate and just trolling assholes is going to be key in the upcoming years.
I literally don’t give a shit if it was a troll or an actual nazi.
“If you’re able to volunteer, volunteer...if you’re a musician, write that anthem. If you’re a writer, write. Take what you’re good at, and what you truly enjoy, and lend your services to the causes you care most about. ‘Cause we can’t, and we won’t, and we don’t stop.”
“I would be very careful about exercising your First Amendment right to freedom of speech. Free speech in a Trump administration extends only to fawning praise, not to criticism or dissent of any kind. You knew this when you voted us in.” -said the scorpion to the fucked democracy.
I’m reflecting on how lazy and comfortable I’ve been, hating myself for it, and figuring out how to locally do some good. Immigrant advocacy seems like a good place to start for me, but really so many causes are potentially screwed right now so pick your passion and go for it.
And you know what’s going to be even better: he’s not going to be able to do his stupid fucking rallies to boost his ego anymore.
I keep thinking of the many-worlds interpretation of Quantum Physics and how I feel like I ended up in the wrong branch of the universe, like Time made a wrong turn or I jumped into a parallel universe.
As I’m comforting my Muslim spouse as she sobs about what this means for her, I don’t have time for nausea. I just want her to be okay. I want to live in a place where an interfaith lesbian couple with disabilities aren’t seen as the enemy. I’m tired of our lives hanging in the balance every goddamn election because…
Easy. Your country is full of terrified, racist, sexist assholes.
I had a nosebleed last night when I was trying to get to sleep. I’m pretty sure it was due to stress.
I can see the fedora in this post...
