Good point. Our opposition party right now is selecting their leader and there are a couple of Trump-like candidates leading the pack. We are definitely not immune to this here.

Maybe I am naive about everything, I don’t know. However this extent of violent crime doesn’t typically happen here in Quebec. I’m obviously aware of racial undertones of many of our leaders statements towards Muslims and other minorities, or police actions towards First Nations people. However to my memory we haven’t…

Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply that I was judging the entirety of the US for this. I have been amazed at the ability of many thousands of citizens to quickly organize and show they won’t stand for this shit as exemplified by gatherings at the major airports.

Wow. I am shocked. As a Quebecer (from Montreal) I have been judging the US hardcore this weekend and have been served some humble pie. Apparently this type of hate does exist in my backyard :(

That’s the most brilliant idea of all time.

Seriously. He could have just listed those other groups too. Maybe his small hands couldn’t type them all, but more likely he couldn’t paint black people or LGBT as victims or his Nazi supporters would turn. BRB to continue reading by grandfather’s Holocaust story while crying and drinking vodka.

THIS. Thank you.

I feel ya. I was pretty depressed earlier in the week thinking of the impending inauguration and stressed because my sister has been having severe panic attacks and suicidal thoughts recurring recently (unrelated to this, she’s had this on and off for years.) I thought, “can this week get any worse?” Then, I got fired…

I want a picture of my kitty like this to frame.

I’ve been wondering this too. We need to put more pressure on mainstream media to continue covering this.

Total cost is the issue. Maybe not individual cost. You are arguing semantics unnecessarily.

Why don’t they raise taxes by 0.50$ and feed starving families? Give more grants to scientists looking for cures to terrible diseases? Fix a crumbling bridge?Cost is absolutely the issue here. It is not a huge burden on each taxpayer but the VALUE is huge. Why do 300 million Americans need to pay 0.50$ to help one man…

I am literally always DTF and have a much higher sex drive than my man so I supplement with the rabbit. Literally havent even had the slightest desire for either this week.

This has been a terrible week, and I just found out my twin sister who lives in a different city is having dissociative experiences and suicidal thoughts again and is going to the local mental hospital ER. My heart hurts so much

I’m not sure why- I’ve decided to take the ignore approach for now and let myself feel! Thanks for being supportive- we should go catch up on sleep, lord knows we all need it, but I look forward to more discussions with you and other Jezebel readers soon- my favourite comment section online !

Thank you for that, you rock! If you need anything from me let me know :) I’m going to go relax now.. ;)

It’s not what he can do, it’s that he has emboldened and validated millions with transphobic, ignorant, racist, viewpoints. Also, suicide is never rationale and it’s unfair to criticize someone’s reason behind it.

I have a question as a white ally-I have a friend (who is also white) who has been making me feel so bad all day for feeling so terrible and outraged and sad for humanity- she said that as whites people we need to give space to marginalized people to grieve. But I feel like the fact that i care and want to help isn’t…

Same, I legit called in sick because I only slept an hour and knew I wouldn’t be productive, and I’ve been crying on and off all day. Some of my friends are acting like I’m crazy and are saying things like it’s over now, but it is nowhere near over. The most racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic members of society…

I had the same with my sweet kitty :)
