One of my ex-girlfriends is going on about "how other countries see us". As if the United States was some paragon of worldwide respect prior to Trump being elected.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

I for one am quite concerned with how Europeans who routinely elect parliamentarians from the White Supremacy Liberation Front will view us. I'm stitching a Canadian flag to my backpack as we speak.

Finally, there are people sitting in federal prison for careless mishandling of classified communications. This woman brazenly ignored all protocol and then told the FBI to go fuck itself rather than turning over the materials. Not only was she not behind bars, she was thisclose to being president. There was more outrage over Clinton's belief and the establishment's confirmation that she was above the law than there was over Trump's constant lies and pussy talk.

On the bus in this morning I felt terrible for a young girl. She was clearly a student of some young age and probably hoped and worked her ass off for HRC. She was sobbing uncontrollably as she looked at her phone. Other HRC supporters that are blind as well as arrogant I do not feel sorry for at all.

Trae Young will be a bust. Book It!

Wasn't most of (if not all of) his campaign just shock and awe to get the meters moving and people talking about him? I don't think that even Trump believes everything he said over the past few months.

That economic advisory team of his are the same group of people that led the Free Trade movement that everyone keeps bashing. The exact same group. Wait til working class whites discover that little nugget.

And when THEY realize that, those of us being sneered at for calling his voters uneducated, amoral, racist or just stupid will simply shake our heads in disgust.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

This email "scandal" can be dropped now. It was bullshit from end to end. Let it go.

That's not true. If you were the parent of some petty officer who mishandled a a classified communication and was court-martialed for it and you saw someone who ran an entire unsecured server loaded with classified materials running for president, I think you'd be pretty upset. Plus the fact that she destroyed subpoenaed materials rather than turning them over. It's far from "nothing". And part of the reason she lost.

It was determined that Rice and Powell did exactly the same thing and it was not illegal.

Thanks for playing along with the "Lock her up" narrative.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

Maggie R., high school teacher, New Jersey:

I woke up crying this morning but made it to our 8am normal, weekly faculty meeting, where our headmaster said “well, we live in interesting times” and then got on with the agenda and I felt dirty and sad and like something had died but we couldn’t hold a funeral or mourn.

Then, in my first period class, a senior literature elective, over half of my students came in already teary-eyed and hugged each other as they sat down - several of the girls had gotten back at 2am the night before from the trip they’d been so excited about: the Javits Center. I’d already been thinking about how I’d have to scrap the lesson I’d had on the syllabus. It felt morally wrong to pretend this was in any way like Bush v Gore; the idea of trying to pretend like it was a normal day felt complicit. So we listened to Solange and watched “Formation” and “Revolution” and “Once in a Lifetime” by the Talking Heads and they wrote everything that was on their minds into their notebooks where no one would ever have to see it. I told them they could rip it up, if they wanted to, for catharsis. Then, for the next half hour of class, we read the last two stanzas of Auden’s poem “September 1, 1939" (which I let them read silently, so I wouldn’t start crying again), and I changed the music to Aretha Franklin (“Natural Woman”) and Otis Redding (“Try a Little Tenderness”), and told them to write a love letter to someone, anyone, and they didn’t have to actually deliver the letter but they could if they wanted to.

I didn’t know what else to do.

The students at my school (which is only 50% white and full of openly out students and intelligent, not-yet cynical young women and men) feel like the adults in the country have let them down. It’s our responsibility as teachers to show them what it looks like to keep fighting. To “show an affirming flame.”

You know, when the Challenger exploded and a bunch of kids saw a crew of people die in front of them in a fiery explosion on live television, we couldn't even get a bathroom pass.

I was in fifth grade. The teacher wheeled in an old crappy TV on a cart, just in time for us to watch it blow up.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

“If Trump is elected, will I be a slave?”

I didn’t know how to answer. I still don’t.

Going with, "No, that's crazy" would be a good start to help out a 5 year-old.

Our hotel smelled like dead hooker vagina (before you ask I had gotten a detailed description from beardown)

That would be too honest and honesty goes out the window when you're promoting a political agenda and indoctrinating children.
