Of course, anyone who is an “other” who is asking for equal treatment is trying to take away from white patriarchy. People really should just wait to campaign for equal rights until a more convenient time. /s

This was lovely, albeit in a harrowing way. Mixed in with my fury and despair today, I also feel so deeply naive. Then I feel even more foolish for asking questions like “but HOW could this have happened?” I don’t know how it happened, and I don’t know how to describe or quantify the loss I feel. This piece was a…

Yup. I actually raised my voice at a friend today who said “my theory is that Trump is a secret Democrat.” I told her she was falling into the trap of Trump supporters who say “well he certainly didn’t mean it when he said [X]. He obviously means [Y].”

Susan retweeted the clip of Van Jones that’s going around right now. To which I say, how DARE you have the nerve to do that you ignorant fool. After your simpering for Jill Stein. Van Jones has been a voice of reason this whole election season and you tuning into him now is a day late and a damn sight more than a…

Seriously, big fan of Obama, but get outta here with that today. A huge percentage of this country has been exposed as hateful, regressive, self-interested, monsters.

I want to slap the Nates - Silver and Cohn - so hard! Which I know is a horrible response and it isn’t their fault and blah blah blah I am so angry today and don’t care I’m on the warpath for everyone.

I hadn’t even thought about how this could impact Planned Parenthood yet. Was too busy thinking about all the other horrors (are we actually going to build a border wall?).

Hopeless here, too. Was texting with some of my female friends this morning and a couple of them were offering “silver linings.” Screw. That. There is no silver lining here. There is no joy in Mudville.

Fury, heartbreak, but also despair. I remember standing on the national mall for Obama’s inauguration and feeling so excited- the air was charged around us. This isn’t the opposite of that feeling, it’s so, so much worse than that. I’m not ready to regroup for the fight yet, my spirit is too broken.

Yep, that’s what I keep thinking. Set aside the economy, and global politics. Women, minorities, LGBTQ folks, immigrants, poor people...it’s just heartbreaking. And infuriating.

Urgh, I do transactional stuff but don’t think I can do Hong Kong. Too much culture shock.

I wish I had something consoling to offer. If you’re not already, texting w/ friends and fam is helping me keep it together right now.

Guessing from your name you are also a lawyer? if you find any good postings let me know. Or maybe I’ll give up law and go be a sheep farmer in New Zealand. They have sheep there, right?

TOO LATE. I am full-on panicking. And I took a page out of your stress-eating playbook and got a giant sweathog order from Shake Shack which is NOT SITTING WELL RIGHT NOW. How is this haaapppeenning.

I’m glad you’re calming down because I am horrified right now. Like, do I have to go into work tomorrow if Trump wins? Or can I stay in bed and await the coming apocalypse?

Seriously internet friend, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO!? I am so anxious right now I have been muting CNN periodically because I can’t handle it.

NY Times has flipped their projection to slightly favor Donald Trump. I am petrified right now.

I am going to be SO PISSED if Bill Mitchell has been right all along.

Update: based on the guilting/stink eye he got at lunch, my colleague found out where he is registered and left work early to vote. Hooray, democracy!

Gotta earn that Bravo $.
