Anyone want to meet up later and just scream? We can get food after. And maybe a beer.

If you’re feeling despair today, I understand.

But Trump’s second term will expose a reality that's been hidden from many Americans: the raw, stinking power of the American oligarchy.

I’m hopeful that America will see this reality for what it is and respond to it. youtu.be/bepjl3orz1A?...

Feminism is a daily revolution

FEMINIST GIANT Daily Dose: 68 www.feministgiant.com/p/daily-dose...
Text: Feminism is a daily revolution. It is not a coat I pull out of the closet whenever a man has been a shit to me. White supremacy, misogyny, genocide, capitalism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, ageism, and a host of bigotries will not disappear, regardless of who occupies the White House for the next four years. And feminism is how I fight them all. Feminism is not easy or nice; it is fire and a fight. I am not playing; I am here to destroy. I want to be free. That is a daily demand. To be free, I practice Feminism in 3D: Defy, Disobey and Disrupt. Everyday.

Important note for reporters covering the GOP's effort to ban trans women from bathrooms on Capitol Hill: while Sarah McBride and Nancy Mace both have private bathrooms in their offices, the trans people who are not elected officials who have to work there every day do not.

On a blue background and in white letters, text reading: We must make patriarchy fear us. We have a right to declare war on patriarcchy. As long as patriarchy holds the patent to violence, it knows it can rely on women’s real and legitimate fear of patriarchal violence. It counts on its use of violence to keep women scared shitless.

Never forget this. The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.
