I would be a little hesitant to do it, given I’m Black and female. Honestly, I would wait and see what happens to others before feeling comfortable enough to paint an extra target on my back with law enforcement. I am completely open to changing my mind about that, though.

Also, this: https://twitter.com/Stl_Manifest, which has me nearly in tears at my desk.

Primeminister May is currently visiting.

My county (Montgomery County in MD) is staying a sanctuary city no matter what and I’m so damn proud of the people representing me right now. I will say it’s a wealthier county so it won’t be hurt as much as some others from the lack of federal funding.

I’m sure he’ll say, “we had the biggest crowds ever!!” But deep down it kills him that the crowds are small, just like it kills him that he is perceived as an illegitimate president.

You know its 150th birthday, right?

Except this time, when they point their gun at the Exxon-Mobil mercenaries protecting said corporate land, they will be shot dead instantly and no one will give a shit.

As a queer, I want to say that I fucking love our goddamn community.

It’s hard for me to say this is a good idea when I just want men to STOP GROPING WOMEN. How fucking hard is that?

The gap between Obama, a true scholar, a man of unwavering integrity, hope, a profound sense of what the word justice means, (see his nonviolent crime drug related charges pardons) and then the comparison to the vile filthy, racist, mysoginist, that makes a living off shorting anyone and everybody that he ever met.

I’m torn between my belief in freedom of expression and my sheer annoyance towards a certain type of vegan.

At this point, I wish this too. I genuinely think that Pence would be better, because I don’t think that Pence would get into a nuclear war over a few insults.

“We can still speak in this country, and what you’re doing to me... I make an appeal to all you people,” he said as he was escorted off the plane. 

Except that I think you’re characterizing the “some people”/”bunch of howlers” criticizing on Boyden Twitter are “outsiders,” and for that reason should not get a voice in this conversation. But a LOT of the people on Twitter who have been keeping this issue alive in the media ARE indigenous people. So why are we not…

Agreed. I don’t have status, but my mom does. It would be an easy thing to show my connection to my band. He likely doesn’t have any proof.
