Someone who’s black or supports black people and their human rights. it literally says that in the description. “You don’t have to be black, it just means you support us, you stand by us and you’re for us.”

do you mind explaining the trump scandal? i don't really understand what's happening. thanks!
So, I’ll make this post kind of my base of operations for the ensuing Trumpocalypse, which means I’ll try to explain as much as possible and update/reblog this post as new information becomes available. That’ll be hard because, like I said last week, New York Times, Washington Post, and CNN are tumbling over each other trying to break this piece leak by leak.
tl:dr - We’re in the early days of one of the biggest news stories of our generation, in which the President is being actively investigated for treason.
Okay, so this all started with that resignation, right?
That was what woke the country up to how big of a deal everything is. General Michael Flynn resigned as Donald Trump’s National Security Adviser on February 13th after it was leaked to the Wall Street Journal that Flynn was under investigation for some phone calls he’d had with Russia.
What’s so bad about that?
The U.S. intelligence community, as you probably remember, found evidence late last year that confirmed Russia had intentions of influencing our election. Barack Obama retaliated by placing sanctions on Russia. Flynn’s calls with Russia took place that same day, right after the announcement of the sanctions. Flynn told Russia “You don’t have to worry about those sanctions,” suggesting the new administration planning to lift them.
Wait, how do we know all this?
Donald Trump is a jackass who thinks he knows more than everybody, even the people who know the most about everything on Earth, the United States intelligence community. The FBI, CIA, NSA, our spies, military intelligence, etc. are currently proving the worth of their years of privacy violations. They always said “We only do this to protect America,” and while I’m not ready to say that’s true, that’s definitely what they’re using their intel for now. The intelligence community, based on their intel, believes the Trump White House is penetrated by the Kremlin, and they don’t take kindly to being insulted by Dumbass Donnie, so they happily leak intel to the press to push Congress to investigate. Some even suspect the sanctions themselves were a coordinated effort by the intelligence community and President Obama to bait the Trump campaign into trapping themselves.
Okay, so they want to lift the sanctions. Aren’t they allowed to do that?
Yes, but then comes another leak. The NSA confirms Trump’s campaign was in “constant contact” with the Russians throughout the election. Put the pieces together: Trump’s campaign in contact with Russia + Russia hacking Hillary Clinton’s emails + Trump winning + Trump campaign lifting sanctions against Russia for the crime Russia committed that helped Trump win = …
Equals what?
Equals the Trump campaign colluding with a foreign power to execute an act of espionage against the United States.
But how can they prove Donald Trump knew anything about this?
In comes the latest leak from literally less than twelve hours ago. Guess who told Flynn to call the Russians? Guess who told him what to say? It was Trump’s close friend, the lawyer of the Trump Foundation, Michael Cohen. That’s just the cherry on top of the leak last week that Sally Yates, the acting Attorney General who was fired for refusing to enforce the Muslim Ban, straight up told the Trump administration that Michael Flynn had contact with the Russians the day the sanctions were imposed, AND told them the content of those calls. That was a full month before Flynn resigned. He only resigned after the intelligence community leaked it to the press.
Yikes.
Yikes indeed.
Welp, the GOP isn’t going to investigate anyway.
It’s not up to them. The committees that would call for investigation are bipartisan. One of them, the Intelligence Committee is headed up by Senator Richard Burr from my home state of North Carolina. He’s one of the many senators, like Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio, Lisa Murkowski, and John McCain, who would salivate at the chance to take down Donald Trump. Any other president would have a decent GOP wall to protect them. Donnie does not. Even if he did, it wouldn’t matter. The intelligence community would keep leaking intel until they had to.
So, where are we in this whole process?
The FBI briefed Congress Friday on the Trump campaigns connections to Russia. Three different bipartisan committees have opened up investigations, the Intelligence committee, the Armed Services committee, and the Foreign Relations committee. These are separate investigations from the ongoing FBI probes, of which there are currently three active. Democrats want to establish a special committee to open a fourth investigation, and some even more aggressive Dems want a special prosecutor brought in to open a fifth investigation.
But they won’t impeach him, will they?
The trouble here for Donnie is that we’re not talking about lying under oath or covering up burglary. We’re not talking about conspiracy or bribery or destroying evidence. We’re talking about treason. Congress can choose not to impeach all they want. When the FBI takes Donnie away in handcuffs, it’s over.
But then Mike Pence becomes president, which is even worse.
First of all, no it’s not worse, you dumb shits. Second of all, every member of the Trump campaign who knew about any of this is going down. That include Pence, Steve Bannon, Kellyanne Conway, and the rest of the Dark Brady Bunch.
So then who becomes the President.
Paul Ryan.
Gross, but he’s kinda hot.
Dreamy af.
Anything new happened since then?
Glad you asked, disembodied rhetorical device. Attorney General and Top Racist Jeff Sessions just recused himself as Attorney General for anything having to do with Trump/Russia probes for having contact with Russian diplomats.
Isn’t that the same shit Flynn just resigned over?
Not only is it the same shit, it’s the same diplomat. The CIA leaked over the weekend that they consider this diplomat a top spy of the Kremlin and a top spy recruiter. Not only did Sessions talk to him, but he talked to him twice, and he lied about it under oath.
Why do people keep talking to this spy guy and then lying about it?
You know why.
Okay, so that’s how many people in Trump’s inner circle who’ve had to publicly get roasted over close contacts with Russia.
3.
How many is the average?
0.
Also, for anyone who says Pence or Ryan is just as bad, maybe you’d be right if we were talking about them vs trump in an election, where they all come to power equally. But that’s not what’s going on. We’re talking about them coming to power after Trump is the first president forcibly removed from office. That’s an entirely different game. Because in that situation, assuming of course we get there (I refuse to hope for the best here, I’m an optimist but the past year has made me cynical too), they are taking power after it is revealed that multiple members of their party gleefully committed treason in order to get themselves into power. They come into office with two and a half strikes against them. They come into power knowing that America is not fucking playing around any more. That’s a totally different game.
I think this brings us up through the beginning of March?
I needed this jab of hope just now.
and like if any of y’all want to jump in on this by nagging your reps to begin impeachment proceedings there’s never a bad time :)
THIS IS A BAD LAND FOR GODS

mail call,paul ryan: you are a lousy catholic,by the way
From a friend- If you close the door in my face, I will go through the window. If you bar the window, I will try the chimney. If that doesn’t work, I will get a battering ram and blast my way in. Whatever obstacle you put in my way will not stop me. Paul Ryan has turned off ALL of his public telephones & fax machines in response to protests in favor of Obamacare, Planned Parenthood, Medicare, etc. And he is NOT accepting signed petitions; instead he’s TURNING AWAY voters who deliver the petitions. So, let’s see what 67 million postcards looks like in his driveway. Please start mailing postcards to his HOME: PAUL RYAN 700 ST. LAWRENCE AVE. JANESVILLE, WI 53545 For a larger audience, kindly copy & paste this to share. Let’s bury this inept son of a bitch in an avalanche of mail. He works for US, not the other way around.

View this case and other resources at: Citation. 62 N.Y.2d 651; 1984 N.Y. Brief Fact Summary. Defendant was indicted for the rape and sodomy of
In case anyone wants more info on why those Second Wave feminists were sooooo “crazy” and “hysterical” about rape and whether patriarchy ever really “hurt” anyone:
Defendant Mario Liberta and Denise Liberta married in 1978. Defendant began to beat Denise shortly after the birth of their son in October of that year. In 1980 Denise received a temporary order of protection from Family Court. The order required defendant to move out and remain away from the family home and Denise. It allowed defendant to visit his son once each weekend. On the weekend of March 21, 1981 defendant did not visit his son. On Tuesday of the following week he called to request visitation. Denise agreed so long as he picked up the son and her and took them to the motel he was staying at under the understanding that a friend of his would be with them at all times.
The defendant and his friend picked the two up and drove to the hotel. Upon arrival the friend left. Shortly thereafter defendant attacked Denise, threatened to kill her, and forced her to perform fellatio and engage in sexual intercourse with him. He also forced Denise to tell their son to watch. He allowed them to leave after the incident, and Denise reported the incident the next day.
Defendant moved to dismiss the following indictment asserting that he came within a marital exemption to both rape and sodomy. The People contended that because the couple were living apart pursuant to the temporary order of protection, they were not married for purposes of the statute. The trial court dismissed the indictment. The appellate court reversed and remanded, finding that the couple was not married for purposes of the statute. The defendant was convicted and appealed, asserting that both statutes are unconstitutional.
Note that the law was so fucking evil back then that the argument initially isn’t over whether allowing men to do whatever heinous sexual violations they want to their wives (and force their children to watch) is legally okay, but whether this lady might not be considered *not* is wife due to the separation and therefore allowed some protection.
Men like Donald Trump remember those days; they weren’t that long ago. And they want to go back.
It bothers me that this era’s questions of women’s rights are remembered primarily as being about “bra burning” and going into the workplace - beauty culture and work were significant. But finally, finally dethroning the hellish rights men had to legally abuse, degrade, humiliate, and terrorize women was kind of important too.
Incidentally, many states still treat spousal rape differently (i.e. with lesser punishments or different standards).

WASHINGTON -- When Christin Davis, an acting instructor in Austin, decided to contact her senators for the first time, she was excited and nervous....
Rep. Bill Flores, R-Bryan, said he believed at least half of the calls his office has received are not from constituents but rather from “activists from other parts of the country.” The onslaught of calls has not dented his confidence in the House GOP agenda.
“I know where my district is, and those calls are not representative of the district,” Flores said, noting that many calls to his office had come as a result of the Indivisible project.
Heeeeeeey Texas! Our reps think we’re faking! Give ‘em hell, y’all.

It’s astounding to me how obvious it is that GOP reps don’t actually want to engage with their constituents. They’re so confident they can gerrymander their way into victory that they don’t even bother to hide their contempt for the people they supposedly represent.
Hey, guys - you can and should ALSO CONTACT THE GOP IN STATE HOUSES.
Because they never hear from constituents - so each call is super-amplified.
@fickleobsessions
Hello! If you live in Texas and have the misfortune to be represented by these and other Republicans it’s time to start mentally preparing to vote in the Texas Republican primary in March 2018. Texas has a semi-open primary system. That means you don’t have to be a registered Republican to vote in the primary, but you can only vote in one primary.
Very few Texas Republicans have any fear about their general elections but they are terrified of their primaries. Do you know how many Texans voted in the 2014 midterm Republican primaries? 1.3 million. Broken up by individual district your vote could have a huge impact. Typically the voters who turn out for primaries are the most religious, most extreme, most engaged. So because most of Texas votes Republican, you end up with the wackiest, craziest Republicans chosen by just 4% of the population running your state.
Here’s the good news, Texas went for Trump in 2016 by a smaller margin than it did for Romney in 2012. There may not be a lot of progressives here but there are a lot of moderates and they’re not all agreed about Trump or even the Tea Party. If you vote with the moderates in the primary (and then vote Democrat in the general), you can end up with fewer Ted Cruzes and Lamar Smiths and Bill Floreses. You’re not going to get people you fully agree with, but you will hopefully get people who aren’t going to fiddle for tax cuts while America burns.
And at the state level, holy crap. Moderate Texas Republicans do exist. They don’t want the bathroom bill any more than you do. But the more of them that go down in primaries to wacked out Republicans promising Evangelicals prayer in school, the more likely it is that we’ll get the bathroom bill passed. The more nuts we put in at the state level, the more insane bills that get filed, and the more Republicans have to sweat about voting against constitutional carry or abortion restrictions. They pull EVERYTHING right by being crazy. We gotta stop it.
It’s not fun! It’s not fun to vote in the Republican primary. You have to tell a sweet old lady poll worker that you want the Republican ballot (she doesn’t care.) You have to choose between an idiot who is rabidly against abortion, denies climate change, and wants to bring back the fucking gold standard, or an idiot who is politely against abortion, is neutral about climate change, and would prefer small government. I want neither of those things, but my district votes 55 - 60% Republican, every time. If my Democratic candidate is likely to lose I’ll take the lesser of two evils, please.
If you have robust Democratic primaries in your part of Texas. Kudos to you, I’m jealous. But mostly that’s not the case, the Democratic party is Texas is so weak that if you vote in the Democratic primary you will often be voting for just one person per seat. That’s right, many Democratic candidates are often running in Texas primaries unopposed. Voting for them is technically a civic duty, but it has very little impact. Voting in the Republican primary does mean you can’t vote in the Democratic convention but most voters won’t be doing that anyway.
But again you can vote for whoever you want come the general. I’m going to be doing The Most to get people to vote Democratic in 2018, but if the Republican candidate wins, I want it to be a Republican that doesn’t believe that because of the End Times we shouldn’t bother with climate change, or that Republicans shouldn’t investigate other Republicans. SO VOTE IN THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY.
good to know
I know it’s 2017 and this is all far beyond said and done but
Cats is a really bizarre fucking musical
You’re not wrong.
OKAY WHAT GETS ME more than the plot or anything else is that there are absolutely no solid rules for the way cats exist in relation to humans in this story world.
Mungojerrie and Rumpleteaser are able to go into a family’s home and essentially torment them by means of petty thievery, and the family just brushes it off with “it’s that horrible cat!” And then they move on!! So you think, alright, so in life the cats look like regular cats, and humans don’t give them much head.
But you would be WRONG because MACAVITY is out here breaking “every human law,” and his exploits are being investigated by SCOTLAND YARD. Macavity has apparently literally killed a man. Maybe more. Almost definitely more. And also, he steals the milk from people’s houses.
And when the police show up to a crime scene “Macavity’s not there.”
Why does he need to flee? Would the police actually suspect a cat when they show up to a murder scene? Is Macavity the true scourge of Scotland Yard? Or are all of the cats just exaggerating??
I NEED ANSWERS, ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER!!!!
All the other cats are regular cats but macavity is actually just a furry
I HATE THIS!!!!!!
I’ve never seen cats and always wanted to but now I can’t because this is going to absolutely ruin it for me THANKS
“Macavity is a furry” is indeed a compelling theory, but consider the implications of the alternative: that somewhere in the same fictive space as Cats, there exists a straight-laced police procedural drama where the recurring mastermind is an ordinary housecat, and nobody questions this.
Mr. Mistoffelees is a fucking wizard and no one questions that
The very existence of the Heaviside Layer calls into question a lot of cat theology. Like, is Old Deuteronomy God, or merely some sort of high priest? Is Grizabella being selected for cat sainthood, and ascending body and soul into the Heaviside Layer, or is she being sacrificed in some bizarre ritual? Is Macavity Satan, since he’s working against Old Deuteronomy? And if so, does that mean, since Macavity briefly overpowers Old Deuteronomy and takes him away from the other cats, that Satan can be, at times, more powerful than God?
But what then is Mr Mistoffelees, who brings Old Deuteronomy back? Not forgetting, of course, that the name Mistoffelees is a play on Mephistopheles, another name for Satan?? Has the Devil been split into two halves? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?
