Heh. Not wrong!

It's going to be a tough time to be someone working to save us from ourselves.

Echoes Siracusa's recent point that this election result has been building for decades.

Not good news. That said my current work laptop is fine for most of what I need to do.

They manage to pack in a lot.

A white whale indeed.

Hah. Nice edit.

A good metaphor for how voting for a racist even though you're "not racist" is still racist.

Good counterpoint, that Obama being raised in white culture made him unable to see the worst racist tendencies of white Americans.

Hell yeah Teen Vogue. Laying out how Trump confuses us into inaction.

This is going to be a lot of work.

A call to focus on cities as sanctuary under the Trump Administration

Not a rosy picture, but a detailed analysis of how expertise and stability are being abandoned.

Beautifully, powerfully written. What hit me in the immediate aftermath of the election is getting me choked up again — Obama was a generationally (perhaps even longer than that) excellent President and human being and he spent most of his Presidency being dehumanized by his opponents. A lot to unpack here. I need to read Between the World and Me again.

Calling on Allen to pay for a park.

Sigh.

Ugh. Bad use of data!

We cannot accept false equivalencies. It is on the oppressors to come around to accepting everyone's humanity, not on the oppressed to try and act more acceptably human.

I still can't wrap my head around how incurious he is.

An overview of what activists are talking about... but this sounds like a mostly rich white male meeting that isn't actually providing operational assistance to the activists who will need it.

This is an interesting take. I think in the end the GOP's first orthodoxy is to tax cuts for the very rich and corporations, and they'll revert to that even as various populist allegiances have helped them achieve those goals.

There are some claims in here I disagree with (like the declaration of war in Iraq) but overall I agree that we've never seen a candidate campaign so thoroughly against the Constitution and general norms.

Nice to see an organized progressive backlash that isn't magic class thinking.

"If you do not like me, I will live. If you do not believe in my humanity, I may not." Excellent call for justice from Ijeoma. It's about recognizing one another as people.

This is a really well articulated point about how universal solutions can be targeted at those most in need and a rejection of "economy first" opposition to Trump.

This is a good explanation of how a black woman experiences President-Elect Trump

An unsurprising trend given costs. Though why aren't more native Washingtonians going into tech and staying?

Well that's not a good sign.

I have a hard time even understanding this as a possibility because I try so hard to be empirical.

This is dangerous conspiracy nonsense, the goal of which is to justify voter suppression.
