To all those who told me they prefer to politic not with politicians but with activists or something roughly to that effect over the course of this election: well, now because of your refusal to do the former, you'll get your chance to do the latter.
Unfortunately while we're fighting the good fight now meanwhile Roe v. Wade, the EPA, Department of Education, Affordable Care Act, Dodd-Frank, gay marriage, the Iran nuclear deal, the Paris climate accords, food stamps & extended unemployment insurance will all be eliminated; Medicare & Social Security will be privatized; filibuster will be repealed; laws restricting the 1st amendment will be passed and journalists will be jailed.
But I sincerely hope I'll see you at all the rallies & protests like the one last night in the coming years, since I conspicuously haven't seen you at any events before the election…
Signed,
An aging but reactivated activist.

Aww c'mon Donald, don't be so modest!
Aww c'mon Donald, don't be so modest! Aren't you going to tout this endorsement at your rallies?! When you only have 8 paper endorsements (to your opponent Hillary Clinton's 415) you've gotta play up what you have!

The short version is Trump used a dubiously legal loophole where he lost others' money, strongarmed them into forgiving the debt, then claimed their losses as his own.
The loophole was later closed by Congress. Among the Senators voting to finally do so: Hillary Clinton.

Just a friendly reminder that only one party still has a 35-year-old consent decree in place against it for voter caging and other illegal acts of systemic voter suppression and violations of the Voting Rights Act.
Guess which one?

Barack Obama's right.
Barack Obama's right. The lesson of this campaign isn't that Dems were too mean to pre-Trump Republicans—it's that they were right all along about Republicans.
Other Republicans would be non-apocalyptic presidents, but they all tried to appeal to the Tea Partiers, Birthers, Trumpers, et al. Marco Rubio, a man with no views other than that he ought to be president, and his ilk incessantly said that the first black president was intentionally harming the country to try to win these psychos' hearts.
Meanwhile, Donald J. Trump for President's speech used rhetoric straight from the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" accusing Hillary Clinton of meeting "in secret with international banks to plot the destruction of U.S. sovereignty in order to enrich these global financial powers," along with a warning that the election could be "stolen" by people "in certain areas…you know what I'm talking about."
He's priming his supporters to believe the election was stolen from them by a cabal of Jews, blacks, bankers, and media. The inevitable conclusion is that normal democratic institutions no longer serve them. This stuff is way more dangerous in defeat than it is in victory. Things have taken a far more serious & dark turn from 18 hours ago when Trump was going to try to turn Bill Clinton into Bill Cosby.
How is Littlefinger described in Game of Thrones season 1? He would see this country burn if he could be king of the ashes.

Remember that this is the sack of shit that began his campaign by insisting we can't let immigrant men in because they'll assault women.
Remember that when Donald Trump says, "This is nothing more than a distraction from the important issues we are facing today," not having their pussy grabbed is important to over half the population of human beings in our country.
If you're still sharing cringe-y memes & unfunny jokes about "ELECTIONS LOL LESSER OF 2 EVILS" or not doing absolutely everything within your power at this point to elect Hillary Clinton as the next POTUS, you're just as despicable & sub-human as he is. You're dangerously immature & stupid, and your soul is dogshit. If you're even partially still on the fence about voting for Trump or not voting for Clinton to keep his openly-racist, openly-sexist, openly-fascist ass out of office and you haven't already done so, please unfriend me or don't friend request me in the first place.
This plus his racism is beyond despicable. This plus his racism is beyond reprehensible. This plus his racism is beyond whatever reservations you may have as a privileged person about voting for the most qualified presidential candidate in U.S. history (who happens to be a woman).
If you have a problem with this, remember my Facebook comments section isn't a forum for free & unrestrained debate. Please engage me in person and I'll happily tell you what a repulsive piece of shit you are for supporting this monster.

A lot of the time, America seems pretty bleak. But every once in a while, you see something that makes you think, "You know, I think we're gonna be just fine." America's actually really dope, and we're on the right track to be even more dope. Here's to never stopping improving our republic. 🍻
Now everyone remember to get out there and reject that repulsive racist subhuman fucking animal Donald Trump this November.

If you want a more progressive Democratic Party, start electing progressives at the local level, take over state parties and key stakeholder interest groups. This is what really works. It's how Republicans moved their party to the right. It's hard and it takes a long time. If you want to be a preening douchebag, support a third-party bid at the presidential level. It's not principle, just acting out. #TimKaine #ClintonKaine2016 #ImWithHer

To quote Howard Dean, "This is exceptionally stupid."
Rep. Rebecca Chavez-Houck, D-Salt Lake City: "I understand the passion with which they are approaching these issues, because they are the same I have been fighting for for many years."
Rep. Carol Spackman Moss, D-Holladay: "The truth is we probably agree on just about everything. Just not tactics."

Q&A segment after the #SLCPunk2 premiere. I can't stop grinning ear-to-ear. Listening to this group of people laugh & share stories about this scene & city that we love, makes me really appreciate all the people & places I've had the amazing fortune to cross paths with in my life—from the various artists & athletes I met writing for SLUG, to all the owners & regulars in the bar scene my friends & I met when we essentially lived at the Sandpiper; from my friends in academia I made at the U, right on down to my badass mom who went to a Misfits show when she was pregnant with me. I love this city, our subcultures, my life & all the people in it. And oh yeah, I loved this film!
