If you have a problem with punching Nazis, I’m here to collect your copies of Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Hamilton, X-Men, and Firefly. Someone else will be by later for Star Wars, LOTR, Captain America/Marvel, etc. I don’t make the rules; you’re the one who thinks it’s wrong to resist oppression by violent means.
“The president has used his position as commander in chief to advance a radical social agenda, when he should have used it to advance legislation that would unequivocally support our troops.” Because, you know… these things actually correlate. His complaint was also that this would curb freedom of speech.
So we can reasonably deduce here that our fluffy Q-tip of a Vice President thinks that the literal murder of people based on their gender identity, disability, and sexual orientation is okay under the First Amendment.
All the links from the White House website are gone, but the Affordable Care Act is still in effect, and you can sign up for health insurance until January 31.
Trump and his cronies may want to kill it, but that takes time (especially now that key players are waffling and the insurance industry have noticed that it will rain chaos down upon them). So sign yourself up. Get in a free checkup, a round of antibiotics, a birth control implant, while you have the chance.
If anyone needs help applying, ping me.
Todavía puede inscribirle en Obamacare. Si necesita auyuda, pídame.
Would you all mind boosting this? I don’t usually ask, but Obamacare is a big deal for me. I haven’t had to dose anyone with veterinary antibiotics in years, and I really want to keep it that way.
Right now, the black bloc protesters from the D.C. protest are facing a decade in jail and a fine (each) of $25,000. No one was hurt during their protest, but Starbucks and McDonald’s had to replace some windows and a limousine, a symbol of America’s wealth disparity, burned. And meanwhile, liberals are gleefully making memes of a black bloc protester engaging in the great American pastime of punching Nazis. Lots of people secretly really like the black bloc. If you doubt that, just Google ‘Richard Spencer gets punched in the face’ to see just how fond people are of the black bloc’s direct action approach to stopping Nazis in their tracks. And that’s what we need to do right now. Many progressives have been raised to tolerate outlandish ideologies in the spirit of inclusivity, but the far-right is now exploiting the sanctity of safe spaces in order to advance fascism, which will destroy our democracy. You don’t hug and coddle Nazis. It doesn’t work. Fascists only understand aggressive defeat. Radical protest creates the space for actions like the Women’s March. By pushing the Overton Window left, the black bloc makes the Women’s March look like a hyper-reasonable movement. ‘We’d better deal with these nice white ladies,’ some in power might say, ‘They’re nothing like those crazy kids dressed in black.’ I promise you: the Nazis don’t fear peaceful liberal protests, but they may think twice about marching in public if the black bloc is there to meet them.

If you want to talk about their tactics, talk about their tactics, but if you enjoyed seeing that asshole get hit in the face, put $5 into their legal defense fund or the NLG defense fund. Your meme hero could easily have been among the ones arrested.
As far as I can tell, the white male twitter left spent today complaining that the women’s marches were nothing but liberal, corporatist nonsense, or as one pile of stinking dick cheese put it: “vapid and petty.” Also, not enough cars set on fire.
Ok but the guy describing it as ‘vapid’ (because as we all know, True Protest means whipping out your dick and banging it on the table while you boast about how you’d love to set fire to a car and if the car-owner complains you’re a pussy neoliberal) is only my THIRD favourite type of white leftist today.
The second prize has to probably go to the leftists currently swearing blind that women as a culture have no tradition of direct action, women activists need to be mansplained to about how to protest, women protestors are never attacked (apparently forcefeeding, water torture and r*pe-as-punishment-tactic are just imagined), and there is simply no incredibly large, varied and historic movement amongst women that might even have the slightest idea about politics or political theory. Basically, How Dare women be Better at this protest shit than us, don’t they know we’re inherently more woke???
But tbh all of those guys pale into comparison before the glory that is White Male Leftist Who Is Suddenly An Expert on Women’s Rights Abuses in the Middle East, just as american women decide to have a march. (But only in Saudi Arabia, Never Iran, you see, because then you can work in an edgy woke attack about how lame liberals sold arms/bought oil. Iranian women’s rights abuses are the Good Kind of Abuse. Anti-Imperialist, Culturally Relative Abuse.)
Nope, wait, I forgot one – White Leftist Woman who insists that there would be “no space for actions like the Women’s March” if it weren’t for her noble manarchists. Women have never had a march on their own, apparently, and fear retribution to be heard, because brocialists did it for them. (The fact the women’s march was more powerful, better attended and changed more minds than anarchists hiding their faces and burning shit ever could is actually really just a sign of how wrong the children public are!)
Also, apparently, the Women’s March was 100% made up of “nice white ladies", who those in power automatically loved, and would never fear, because they were all soft liberals. All of them And White Leftist Woman isn’t like those girls, you see. She’s a Cool Girl.
The fact that this was the biggest march in inaugural history, and the inconvenient fact that there were smaller marches happening in middle america as well as the coasts wouldn’t worry lawmakers at all, because the only way to achieve lasting change is to Let the Big Strong Leftist Men take credit. See how Cool and not naggy she is, guys?
no, you’re not part of black tumblr just because you support us, just like you not part of the lgbtq+ community if you’re just a cishet who supports us. youre just an ally. support us outside of our safe spaces ffs.
