There’s not much more that I can add to this that my colleagues haven’t already said; I’m fixated on how everything plays out, and what horrors await us. But in this day we’re taking to mourn before we organize, it’s important to pay a little attention to taking care of ourselves. If you’re bawling at work, this…
“Women can’t walk outside at all, to say nothing of running,” Jessica Wright told me. They’re not supposed to be seen. Particularly as a foreigner, you literally can’t walk anywhere, not even covered. So I did all my training for the marathon on a treadmill in a tiny room in my boss’s house.”

Republican strategist and open Trump hater Ana Navarro appeared on New Day Wednesday morning wearing a #TGIO shirt. That stands for “thank god it’s over,” she explains to host Chris Cuomo, who asked her, “Is it over, or is it just beginning?” Navarro responded, “Well, one nightmare is over, another is about to begin.”
On Wednesday, Hillary Clinton gave her concession speech and reminded little girls everywhere that they are “valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity” to pursue their dreams.

While we’re here mourning an earth-shattering defeat of Hillary Clinton by President-elect (hork) Donald Trump, the Ku Klux Klan and their former leader David Duke are feeling much more celebratory. “GOD BLESS DONALD TRUMP!,” Duke tweeted, adding, “It’s time to do the right thing, it’s time to TAKE AMERICA BACK!!!”…
“The sun is up,” Barack Obama said in his first public remarks since Donald Trump was elected president. “I know everybody had a long night. I did as well.”
Last night, the hidden factions of white supremacy fully emerged, though we know they were never really hidden. You could call Donald Trump’s win a shock, but that’s also another lie. The blinding red map last night that looks so much like blood, and feels so much like a relapse, is simply the reality of existence.…
Garnering just over 1.2 million votes, Jill Stein is arguably slightly less responsible for giving us Donald Trump than say, fucking Gary Johnson, but not by much! Please join me in wishing a hearty “fuck you” to Jill Stein and all who voted for her.

Donald Trump has been a vocal advocate of sexual assault, Islamophobia, xenophobia, and violent racism. Early Wednesday morning, America voted to elect him our president.
