I'll never not repost this message: They never burned witches. They burned women.

Be clear: This is happening because bad people feel emboldened by Trump, but Trump is very much NOT the root of the problem.

These stories have the same roots. If you aren't happy about LARPing Handmaid's Tale, it's time to get into the streets, to get loud, to get disruptive.

Almost 100 years ago the @nytimes.com both-sides Kristallnacht, the night when the Germans killed hundreds of Jews, torched thousands of synagogues and basically teed up the Holocaust

Quick reminder: FY,NYT

Get a load of THIS fuckin guy!

Ferrous doesn't really sound like the metal it describes, which is ironic

A spark of light in the darkness

They only have the one play in their playbook and it's "all-out attack, no holding back". Look for our first military conflict to go the same way.

Vote them out.

This story makes me hopeful. Specifically, I am hoping that each of those law firms suffers a catastrophic loss of business as a result of their cowardice, with a side hope that every partner of every one of the firms sees Trump's smirking face every time they close their eyes.

My lilacs smell especially wonderful this year

17 miles in 5 days has my baby well tuckered

Wait, am I supposed to think the leakers/hackers are the bad guys in this story? Because I sure af do not. "Among the leaked documents is salary information that, if accurate, would reflect vast inequalities that continue to plague Morocco despite its strides in economic development. ..." (1/2)

Hey, just in case anyone had convinced themselves that the GOP wasn’t attempting to exterminate an entire class of people, this just in from the official White House press secretary: “As a matter of policy, we do not respond to reporters with pronouns in their bios.” #TransErasure

Getting my MD so I can heal something

Ah. Yeah, that would explain it.

Come the revolution, remember Gannett goes up against the wall.
