Constance Wu is a badass. Doing the thing your conscience tells you is right even if it could hurt you (career-wise, in this case) is honorable and beautiful and I am really impressed by her speaking up. I also agree with her re: Casey Affleck. What a turd.

Same with your upvotes for their unqualified/terrifying/dangerous nominees.
Get used to this. The Democrats will stonewall few, if any, of Trump’s appointments no matter how staggeringly inept and corrupt they are. They’re too afraid of seeming “obstructionist” in the eyes of the public if they attempt to stop too many horrible things. Because as you know the public hates obstructionists,…
It does feel like a betrayal, especially considering how the Republicans have deliberately blocked every.fucking.thing Obama has tried to do for the last eight years. Fuck them. I want them to concede NOTHING.
I’m getting really fucking tired of living in a world with so many bad guys that we have to let some of them win, just to keep the worst at bay.
It is a betrayal. And it’s why we lost, and are continuing to lose. Because we let fucking cowards be our representatives. They should be fighting tooth and fucking nail on every one of these nominations. Not a single one of them is even a quarter of a percent qualified. Our only chance at this point is if we can…
Well, the Nixon administration is starting to make a lot more sense now. I’m young enough to have only learned about it in the history books and I never really understood how Nixon could have been so paranoid, so small, even has he achieved the Presidency. Now that I see it playing out, I get it. Some people are just…
This shit is so dangerous. It erodes our faith in our democratic institutions. We may survive a trump presidency but the US won’t be able to survive a complete loss of faith in things like our elections and our press for example. It will breed widespread corruption and authoritarianism as people will think trump is…
thus questioning the legitimacy of his own presidency
‘He’s very comfortable with his win’
As a fat woman, one thing I noticed after the march on the way home is that all day I didn’t think about by body once. Now, I am pretty body-positive most days and don’t obsess or diet - but I’m an (almost) 300 lb woman and it’s hard to get through the day without thinking about it. But all day, it just didn’t…
When a lot of conservatives were shouting, “Why aren’t you at work?” at people who were marching on a Saturday, I realized yes, they think the majority of Democrats/liberals are poor. They think most Democrats are service workers who should HAVE to work Saturdays. They think of Democrats and liberals as takers, and…
There’s an element of the right wing that refuses to admit the existence o legitimates difference of opinion. They’re so convinced of their righteousness that they can’t accept the idea that any normal, intelligent person wouldn’t hold the same values they do. So obviously anyone who doesn’t is motivated by greed or…
I always wondered how I’d die. If this week is any indication of the next four years, it turns out it’ll be an aneurysm.
SOMEONE FETCH ME MY SMELLING SALTS BECAUSE I AM SHOCKED.
One of my mom’s cousins kids posted something that said, “TFW: Trump got more fat people to walk in one day than Michelle Obama did in eight years.” I posted, “so you’re calling your sisters fat? Your cousins fat? They’re not, but hopefully someday you’ll be less of a dipshit.
“But I do have a question: if they can afford all those piercings, tattoos, body paintings, signs, and plane tickets, then why do they want us to pay for their birth control?”

Requiring people to pay for their own healthcare and higher education keeps “the poors” in their place and allows them to concentrate all of the wealth at the top generation after generation.
