I work for an advocacy organization. We all went to the march, with our friends and our families.

Yeah, that’ll make the first-time marchers feel great. Can we stop picking at people who gave enough of a shit to come out and march in January, and then tell them it isn’t good enough? I think all women need to be respectful of the new-to-protest women who are now galvanized. Coming together on commonalities and…
What’s with these purity tests that people on the left require of one another?
I think the reasons for this are kind of obvious: most Trump supporters don’t live in the DC area and don’t have the money or time to travel to the coast for events like this. Most Trump supporters also don’t generally march at protests, dance in the streets, or otherwise attempt to make themselves visible- one of…
Tribalism and nationalism combine to create super-racism. You can’t question it because Holocaust. You can’t fight it because political fundraising.
I am not an anti-Semite by any means, and I am not opposed to helping Israel however we can; however, it has always seemed to me that Israel is only interested in what is best for the Jewish people, and they want everyone else (i.e. other governments) to be interested in what is best for them as well above other…
Why is the prosperity of Israel more important than fighting anti-semitism in the rest of the world? How do people like Netanyahu speak of the lessons of the Holocaust in one breath but then not care when genocide is being committed against other groups and support people who incite it?
I would say what a war mongering piece of shit this guy is but I’ve been told that any and all criticism of the Israeli government is tantamount to give the Nazi salute.
I happily voted for her, but she and her campaign deserve the blame. I have no idea how they couldn’t figure out how to beat that guy but sitting around and not campaigning in formally industrialized states and just hoping he’d shoot himself in the foot was not a good strategy (obviously)
No. I am part German, and I can tell you with whatever authority that fact grants me that the Nazis were just people, not some supernatural evil incarnate. And for many of us it is still quite personal and relevant: I still have a few living relatives who were in the Hitler Youth as young children. Hitler wasn’t a…
Yes. We. Do.
First, I am a woman. Second,
Isn’t it a bit problematic to concern ourselves with micro-aggressions against a privileged and powerful white person who orchestrated the election of a fascist which has resulted in MACRO-aggressions against POC, especially Muslim women? This bitch is a fucking Nazi (or worse- an opportunist who promotes neo-Nazism)…
This.
I’m glad that Morocco is progressive (I actually didn’t know this, so thank you) but America ain’t that far off from giving advice on covering up DV bruises.
I was in Marrakech for a week not so long ago. Admittedly, I was there as a total tourist so I really have no background knowledge but I was pleased to see how intergrated women appeared to be within the workplace etc in the city. Everyone was so incredibly friendly and welcoming, many people my friend and I spoke to…
Or maybe they just faked the injuries with make up because they are make up artists?
...how does it suck to be a woman in Morocco? You do realize our country just elected a sexual predator for President, right? Can we please get off our high horse now?
Thank you so much. I’m part Berber (that is: from North Africa) and we are in no way connected to the Gulf (nor is my family on that side even Muslim). The video is reprehensible (hearing the woman say ضرب with such sang-froid was chilling), and yet (and I know that chritter means super-well) Morocco is about as…
Morrocan women stood up, demanded an apology and got it. That is, in itself, hopeful.
