He was already saying the left is as violent as we accuse the alt-right of being. The only thing that changed is that he’s scared now.

Correct. It’s not like we cared how many people showed up at Dubya’s inauguration compared to Clinton’s. For all their flaws, they were men that were about issues (in Dubya’s case, mostly the wrong issues, but still). Trump is about image.
But that’s what makes it great. It is petty, but people are only focusing on it so much because HE cares so much.
This was my favorite from the Philly march. Well done, person!
On the eve of the inauguration, I think it’s a good time to remember that under President Obama, twenty million Americans gained health insurance, cutting the percentage of uninsured Americans to single digits; same-sex marriage was legalized; DADT was repealed; combat positions were opened to women and transgender…
She pisses and moans that she’s somehow made to feel lesser than her pro-choice counterparts, but then she turns around and categorically dismisses all of us as being some kind of mindless stooges for a “pro-abortion movement.”
This. If you don’t want women to have abortions, there is feminist work you can do. You can advocate for free or very low cost birth control given out to both women and men. You can advocate for bumping up money to programs that support single mothers. You can advocate for practical sex education starting at an…
“This is what we conservative women live with all the time, this idea that we somehow aren’t really women and we just reflect internalized misogyny [...] I don’t think they represent women. I think they are a wholly owned subsidiary of the abortion movement.”
Autonomy over one’s own body is a right.

If you’re anti-abortion but respect that it’s your personal decision and are cool with letting others do whatever they want because they ALSO get to make that personal decision, by all means join us.
Feminism is about equality through legal rights and changing outdated cultural attitudes. When you try to take away other women’s rights, you aren’t a feminist.
Seriously I’m so sick of people ignoring and suppressing discussion of all the horrid unending controversies because talking about the room being on fire is somehow divisive.
Gots to agree, Livia. Cheeto Hitler is not a normal candidate, he is not a normal President-elect, he is an active danger to the republic, our shared values as a people, and to our national sovereignty. Selling out our government to Vladimir Putin, and arranging his campaign and his office-holding for personal…
My democratic ideals also tell me to raise fucking hell when someone is attacking our civil liberties and frankly attacking our democratic ideals.
Since Jane who very much is an ignorant slut dismissed my comment, I’ll repost it here:
I agree that it’s not an immoral act. I also would state that the inauguration can happen without fanfare or even an audience. It’s perfectly acceptable for him to be sworn in at ceremony at the white house quickly and quietly for there to be a “peaceful transition of power.” So, there’s no real obligation to attend…
I am always uncomfortable at the thought of Trump anywhere near children given his comments about his daughter, a young Paris Hilton and all of his other creepy comments.
My brother-in-law works at Leavenworth, and we visited him and my sister for Thanksgiving. My openly feminist S.O. saw the protesters outside the facility there for Manning and voiced her support....
