I’m calling for responsibility and maturity and decency from someone who has held one of the highest positions in our government.

God yes. We need people to use their anger constructively to get progressives in control of congress in 2018.

I’m doing okay. Not great, but okay. Thank you for your kind words!

Sorry for being defensive, but it’s been surprising to me how many people on the left are being hugely critical of the protests. This moment in history is unprecedented and people need to express their pain now and make plans when that’s out of their systems.

I can’t give you that advice because that is legal advice. I strongly encourage anyone who has DACA now and who is considering renewing to talk to the lawyer that they filed DACA with. What I can say is that no one really knows right now. if Donald Trump decides to end the program but decides not to revoke anyone’s…

It’s like every person you hate assembling to form an Asshole Voltron.

So, it’s a few separate things. Right now DACA holders have two things; a grant of deferred action for two years (which promises that the government will not attempt to deport them), and second, because they have been granted deferred action, a regulation gives them the ability to receive work authorization. If Trump…

I would only say: Why can’t I do both? I honestly can’t believe how many people are saying “don’t protest” as it isn’t my right to do so because right-wingers will complain about it later. I’m also sick of people assuming that all I’ve done to contribute is hang a sign in my window, which is ridiculously untrue. Years…

It’s that look... like when you squeeze out a fart, but maybe shit yourself.

I hope Chuck Schumer is ready. He’s going to be the most powerful Democrat left in our government after the inauguration.

I’ve certainly been around!

I’ve been here!

And think about his short attention span... 12 hours a day of meetings, that’s going to be insane for him.

I was heartsick this week when more than one of my students came to talk to me, scared they’re going to be sent away. Since I’m the English teacher in a French school they assume I’m American. These children are legal Canadian immigrants, but all they understand is that a scary man who hates them now has power. I can…

I need to hear The Noble Renyard’s take on all this. He (or she) works directly in this field.

10 years seems like 9 years and 364 days too long to me, but I’ll take your word for it. I just don’t believe that he has the mental ability to do more than an hour of listening and thinking in a single day. I think he’ll delegate the whole thing. We shall see!

exactly. I have signed up to follow all the various democrats in the house and senate. I am throwing my support behind them, Kaine, Sanders, Warren, Tammy Duckworth - I am excited to back them and try my best to get people to actually pay attention to the midterms for f**k’s sakes.

I’ve been telling every Trump voter in my life that any time a right is taken away from me, my quality of life drop, my insurance goes up, they will know about it.

You know what pisses me off? I know a LOT of people who are fucking rich white Southerners who haven’t felt SHIT for pain from the recession. Their kids aren’t on meth. They haven’t lost their jobs. They’re just assholes who want smaller government because that means they’ll pay less taxes. Those people tipped…

I hold out hope that Trump actually won’t be terrible on this. Remember, that’s NOM’s stated position, not his.
