*”If racist acts don’t make you racist, what does?”*
If you benefit from racism while you vote for a known racist, how do you then find yourself in the “I’m not a racist” column?
A lot of people found it impossible to vote for a known racist, why didn’t you?
#TrumpProtest in New York City. 9th November 2016
On Election Day, hoards of students from Arizona’s North and Maryvale high schools staged a walkout to campaign against Donald Trump and Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. A local ABC station captured the stunning moment in a Facebook live video Tuesday afternoon.
I’ve seen a lot of people asking why Hillary Clinton’s suits are referred to as ‘pantsuits’ all the time. Like, why not just ‘suits’? The answer is more infuriating than you may realize.
Until very very recently – more recently than most people my age can probably believe (it was a shock to me) – ‘a women’s suit’ meant a suit jacket and a skirt, full stop. As in, guess when female Senators were last required - REQUIRED - to wear skirts on the Senate floor?
Fucking 1993.
NINETEEN NINETY-THREE. I was six years old and female Senators were still required to wear skirts! And it only stopped when two female Senators showed up in pants to protest it.
1993. Women wearing suits with pants was still controversial 23 years ago. And Hillary Clinton has been a woman in public life for almost 40 years.
And she was a woman who wore pants, who at first didn’t wear makeup and didn’t change her last name, and kept her career after her husband entered politics, and got involved in politics herself, and had strong opinions which she freely expressed.
This made her fucking Satan as far as conservatives were concerned, and she’s been Satan to them ever since.
The use of the word ‘pantsuit’ to refer to Clinton’s suits, which she began wearing long before it was broadly socially acceptable, is a leftover dogwhistle from a less tolerant time. The very phrase ‘pantsuit’ basically means, a suit worn by an uppity woman. A suit worn by the type of woman who doesn’t care that skirts are PROPER professional garments for ladies. A suit for goddamn rabble-rousing hippie bitches.
Can’t wait to see what color pantsuit HRC wears when she’s the goddamn president.
At around 8 a.m. Tuesday morning, Hillary Clinton cast her ballot in Chappaqua, New York. And, as far as we can tell from a close-up screen grab journalist Peter Maer tweeted out, she was pretty excited about it.
it’s exactly like that lol
MAKE IDRIS ELBA PROUD, FOLKS
Don’t be complacent. Don’t take it for granted. Do your part to protect our nation from a dangerous man.
And we’re STILL suffering under the changes that Reagan wrought. The losses and changes he caused will never be repaired. Reaganomics was an utter failure and a disaster for the country and destroyed the middle class. But it’s worshipped by the right and by Trump supporters.
omfg
This is so relatable, I’m dying.
While the FBI investigates Hillary Clinton for recently discovered emails, Republican candidate Donald Trump is simultaneously being investigated and has been for more than a year. Issues surrounding Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort launched the FBI questioning.

AND VOTE EARLY IF YOU CAN
okay so hear me out. i know this looks weird but this is not actually my fault, when you think about it; this is @gyzym’s fault for telling me about the existence of this particular slice of dumpster_fire.gif. anyway the actual story here is that the crew of “this american life” commissioned a song — by kristen anderson-lopez and robert lopez, also known as the songwriters behind frozen; sung by neil patrick harris, also known as i’m having dr. horrible flashbacks — about the 2016 election
as seen from the perspective of paul ryan.
I honestly don’t know that I’ve ever been happier (or sadder) to show something to someone.
