Armie Hammer always makes me think of an anthropomorphic box of baking soda.

Me and my friends are renting a minivan, because we’re leaning- in on this shit.

Trump is the beast, without the redemption story.

This is not the live action fairy tale remake we need right now. THIS is the live action fairy tale remake we need right now:

The big difference is that the Beasr shows he’s capable of change and becoming a man worthy of Belle’s love. I have yet to see evidence Drumpf is capable of that level of self reflection and change even if he wanted to. Also, pro tip, typing on a phone wearing weight lifting gloves is fucking HARD!

Only it’s not just the police that will back them up, but the press as well.

What about flagging them for hatespeech? Does that work?

I just changed my name to my Iranian husband’s. I’m about as white as they get. But I worry about him every day (albeit a little less only because we live in a liberal bastion).

Yes, this was a piece on This American Life. IIRC, she actually (after much hounding) recanted and confessed to lying. But she had been telling the truth. So sad. https://m.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/581/anatomy-of-doubt

I feel like I remember this, but then again I don’t. Was it some guy who was military or a cop or something? And all his victims were able to describe his eyes? He tied them up and took pictures and then took the sheets with him when he left?

I disagree with the linking suggestion. That only increases the likelihood of a nasty troll getting ungreyed. We should ignore them completely IMO.

Or the girl in Mike Pence’s Indianastan that was sentenced to 20 years for a miscarriage and had to be bailed out by the state Supreme Court

So, the racists are right when they say that the election of Trump means that they can do whatever they want and get away with. Only it’s not just the police that will back them up, but the press as well.

I should remind you that if you really want to reply to any trolls that comment on your thread, just dismiss the troll’s comment and just reply to the troll in a comment to yourself and a link to the troll’s comment.

Jesus. I almost hope she made it up, because if she’s being charged and prosecuted for the crime of being a hate crime victim ... I can’t even imagine.

The feeling I’m getting today is that Trump supporters don’t think he won—- they think they won. They think that it’s okay to be openly bigoted and hateful because their openly bigoted and hateful candidate was vilified by the masses. I’m afraid for what this means for every day Americans.

So we’re on the Brexit playbook. Good to know.

I particularly like the woman and the blonde dude on the left. I imagine their conversation:

how long did that take, 18 hours? I havent turned on the news or listened to npr, i’ve just had fantasia’s stay up on repeat.

Just...where do we go from here? I don’t even know. What can we do?
