A Round Up of Resistance to Trump (Part 1)

]The UFC star made a secret trip last week to deliver supplies to Standing Rock protesters.

I’m hoping those 4000 veterans are planning to go back.

I’m pretty ambivalent about that one. And I’m wondering too how many people considered “subhuman” by neo-Nazis have already been punched or worse in response. There’s not much that they want more than for the “race war” to finally start.

Edit: ah, deleted…now I’m wondering what your second thoughts were…

I think it was just photos from either the same incident on Saturday or a different incident on the same day.

And it’s perhaps a bit o/t.

I can’t be bothered with the ‘is it okay to punch a Nazi?’ conversation again, either :slight_smile:

And some not-resistance:

Gillibrand is the only one who gets it. And she’s another centrist, I suspect she’s setting up a narrative for 2020. Not sure why others aren’t.

Good old Feinstein.

Why would she decide what to do purely on # of phone calls, anyway? Wouldn’t it be likely that people would expect her to opposing Trump by default?

And she’s the Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. What a fucking waste of space.

Wrong thread, yo.

We have plenty of WTF threads to express how shitty we feel.

At least one needs to stay uplifting.

We can not “go gentle into that good night.”

And this is what is wrong with the whole representative ideal. Ideally, they run on a platform, we vote for them, and then we go to work, pay taxes, and in general get on with our lives, while they are supposed to behave according to the platform on which they ran, in Feinstein’s case the DNC platform.

In practice however, I am supposed to monitor her behavior more closely than I would an untrained puppy, and call her 3x per day to tell her what to do. Seriously what is the freaking point?

I refuse to use the term “alternate facts”. It’s not a joke. If it’s used so much as a joke, it ends up in long-term vernacular. I’m not fun at parties.

Pussyhats are in fashion, see Pussyhat Project for more info, patterns, etc. Two more protests are in the planning stages, Scientists against tRump and Show Us Your Tax Returns, Trump!

I would love to find some like-minded people to hang out with as we work on the next batch of pussyhats and make phone calls/write letters

Agreed. I also won’t use it, even jokingly.

But I am quite fun at parties, however.
:wink:

I just don’t abide with the flagrant bullshit…

The ACLU does a lot of amazing work, but let’s not forget about the CCR. An organization with an amazing track record that litigated many of the cases around Guantanamo Bay under both President Bush and President Obama.

The Resist Party is another feed that is keeping a list of alt|rogue .gov twitter feeds
