Look for recommendations at a voters’ advocate group for your area... Pick a group that leans in your general direction, and see who they endorse. Better yet, pick several, and comparison shop. (League of Women Voters, SF League of Pissed Off Voters, etc.)

Get out to vote. Get everyone you know who is doing the right thing out to vote.

Is that you, Senator Collins?

The problem is that even the worst Democrats (Manchin, for example) count towards who is Majority leader, and therefore who sets the legislative agenda.

This is so awful. It is also the reason why I will never disclose my own sexual assault to my own mother. Her reaction to the whole Kavanaugh debacle is to feel more afraid for her son than for her three daughters.  

I’m a PA voter. Hillary spent a fuck ton of time in PA in 2016. Wisconsin and Ohio not so much, but she was here all the fucking time and had some good infrastructure here as well. It just so happens that half the state is populated by Pennsyltuckians who were energized by Trump because they relate to his bigotry and

My poor little cousin shared her story of assault with her Trump supporter mother only to be told ‘So what?’

I told her that unfortunately, her mom got hers, retired, and fuck everybody else.

This is some weak ass bullshit. The Democrats had no power. We’ve known since Kennedy retired that this was a losing battle, but it was a battle that the Democrats had to fight. They mounted as effective a campaign against Kavanaugh as could be made, and they lost, which was absolutely to be expected. This loss was

Oh fuck this.

Susan Collins should’ve had to make that condescending, trashfire speech to Dr. Ford’s face.

Ford spoke out for nothing. That’s what she was worried about all along: That she would re-live her trauma and ruin her life for nothing.

If Maine doesn’t vote out this attention-seeking sack of shit, shaped like a woman, we should vote them out. 

I feel fucking terrible for Dr. Blasey Ford.

The most sickening part is how this had to come just when it was almost starting to look like were were getting somewhere. First black president! Gay marriage legalized! The beginnings of health care for everyone....   Naah, guys, just kidding-- we’re going back to the racism and sexism stuff.

fuck Joe Manchin

Fucking Manchin voted no.  

Lisa Murkowski voted no on cloture.  *Bites knuckle.*

Just in time, third season of The Man in the High Castle has dropped.

God the layers of fucking IRONY that this ad was put out by a CATHOLIC organization about MEN who could be ‘falsely’ accused of sexual violence.

“She took a wacky guy’s place, he was wacky,” Trump said. “Boy did he fold up like a wet rag.”
