Nasty Women fight for human rights!

Yep.

FUCK TRUMP

Time to revive the Thinking Liberally blog. So exhausted by all the horrible things happening since Hillary lost the election. I cannot believe this malignant narcissist is our president. I go between rage and depression, wanting to fight the destruction of so many of the values I hold dear, and wanting to just hide my head in the sand, plug my ears and sing "LALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"

Sigh.

Mostly, I think blogs are pretty much dead, and Facebook has taken over the internet. It's where I share everything. But I can use Diigo to bookmark, annotate, and tag political posts so they will auto-post here again.  Not too hard, with a Chrome extension and a phone app. So here we go.

#RESIST!

Political Readings of the Week (weekly)

  • 2012 offers nothing like the ecstasy of taking part in a historical advance: the reĆ«lection of the first African-American President does not inspire the same level of communal pride. But the reĆ«lection of a President who has been progressive, competent, rational, decent, and, at times, visionary is a serious matter. The President has achieved a run of ambitious legislative, social, and foreign-policy successes that relieved a large measure of the human suffering and national shame inflicted by the Bush Administration. Obama has renewed the honor of the office he holds.
