Never forget.

Amen. Pace yourself, seriously. Don’t give yourself a rage stroke with every single Trump story. Whether it’s an intentional strategy or simply the result of a constant flow sheer dumbfuckery and evil, there’s a real danger that we’re all going to get burnt out before this motherfucker’s been in office for a month.

Yes. Everything that’s gone on in the first week of this presidency, from the seemingly trivial like lying about crowd size, to the major, like sparking a humanitarian crisis, ought to scare everyone who sees any value in American democracy and professes any fealty to American ideals. It is astonishing the speed with…

The ACLU just got a year’s worth of donations in a month. My congresswoman (Feinstein), who I disagree with frequently, just introduced legislation to roll back the “travel” (read: Muslim) ban. The Women’s March was by many accounts the largest protest ever.

Worse, it doesn’t appear that this was run by the Office of Legal Council (OLC). That leaves all government agencies (federal, state, local) possibly reacting to an illegal order.

Take a gander down to the Justice Department and you might get a clearer idea of why there was no consultation. Homeland Security and the State Department, too. In the week that he’s been ruling by executive order and grandstanding at a GOP retreat, Trump has still not named appointees to fill *hundreds* of positions…

Somewhat unamusingly, an edict came down from our airline management via email about this. They were going to start holding the flight crews accountable for anyone who got on board who was turned away from the USA (it costs the airline an enormous amount of money when this happens.)

He was hoping for “heroes” or “God-Kings of the Undying Lands.”

Anyone who says this isn’t straight up fascism, is a straight up fascist themselves. Our right to peacefully assemble, which means anything short of actually smashing shit up, is guaranteed by our 1st amendment constitutional rights. Don’t think for a second that this law will not be used by a federal agency at some…

Thank you for this. A woman isn’t lacking in agency just because she’s making decisions you don’t agree with. I might concede that she’s in over her head, but to cast her as someone so blank that she can’t muster up the power to make her own decisions is a disservice to both her, and other women like her. Just because…

oh, but we didnt demoralize him, sean - he came to us, quite honestly, without any morals at all.

I hate hijacking comment sections but so many things are coming at us that it’s hard to find the place so this is OT but pretty funny.

You know who was my favorite speaker at the Women’s March? A man, one who used to annoy the hell out of me. Michael Moore. He kept it simple: he provided the number we call to voice concerns to our representatives. Then he told us: call every day. Put it in your schedule along with brushing your teeth and showing up…

VitriolicShampoo has got some legit shop chops.

The whole speech is one of the most jingoistic piece of shit I’ve heard in recent history.
