perhaps:

I have found that I have absolutely no interest in anything but politics now. Everything else is meaningless and meant to distract us from what is important. People keep saying “lets move on” but I say “To fucking what?”

I am terrified.

Isn’t there a Federal Hiring freeze anyway?

I say that the Democrats should do everything that they can to filibuster.

If every single Democrat doesn’t vote against DeVos, I will snap. She is a horrible monstrous person.

There MUST be something like that going on. Unless it’s just a case of “we’ll, we can’t oppose all his picks, who are we, Mitch McConnell?”

This is some petty shit and I am living for it.

While women’s rights activists are (and should be!) still riding the high from Saturday’s global women’s marches

I’ve been using “Pro-Forced Birth”. Better to highlight the aggressiveness of their goals. Nobody reacts positively to the term “Forced”. Play the game the way the GOP does.

I’m encouraging everyone to replace ‘pro-life’ with ‘anti-choice.’ It’s a more accurate term to describe opponents of women’s right to choose, since they don’t care about the lives of pregnant women.

Guys GUYS I am so angry because my in-laws are Catholic and they think abortion is a sin- except when their daughter got in vitro and had to have some embryos selectively aborted. But they didn’t call it “abortion,” did they. I just can’t anymore. People are URGH

We’ll be well into this presidency when we start trying. I go back and forth between thinking ‘I can’t wait to hold CB baby in my arms and smell his/her sweet baby smells’ and ‘Literally we might all die in the next 4 years what is the point’

Love the hat. Ask yourself; had the BLM movement decided to brand the movement as “Stop Killing Us” or “Stop Killing Black People” how different would the discussions be from people on the other side? You’d eliminate the Blue Lives and All Lives trolls pretty quickly.

For years and years and years I’ve been saying that the right will never actually make a move - a real move - to overturn Roe. The logic is that whipping up anti-abortion voters is more valuable to them than actually doing something about the “problem” that they all claim to care about. And so far, that logic has held…

I’m in north East Tennessee, our march in Jonesborough was listed as “the heart of Appalachia” on many national stories. 250 people were expected and over 1000 showed up! The crowd was very white but our organizers and leaders weren’t. The primary organizers did a great job of making sure we had a diverse group of…

I said this downthread, too, but I read that tweetstream and was really disheartened by the women asking for advice in how to do better, how to be an ally, how to not make these mistakes—and were promptly told to go away and educate themselves. How will we draw people in if there is a minimum bar for entry? These…

This was the most exciting aspect for me of my local march (Oakland, CA). My kids have been to several marches/protests but the Women’s March was by far the most inclusive, positive, family-friendly event they’ve been involved in.

If they want someone from New York, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand seems a much better choice. To my knowledge, she doesn’t seem to have a lot of baggage and I’ve been generally happy with the job she’s been doing since elected Senator.
