Do we yet have an ongoing "what to do/social activism in the age of Trump" thread or something, because i'd follow that
― Nhex
yeah i'm really disappointed at the lack of organization so far. i guess i should organize things myself? but i have severe social anxiety and no clue about how to actually do this stuff.

like, how do we as patients put pressure on the ama to repudiate their endorsement of tom price? that seems like a pretty big thing and pretty important. just calling members of congress isn't going to cut it.

12 grafs retelling the plot of 'White Dog' is maybe not the ideal lede

Well, as we are discovering day by day, every single historical issue about which we thought we expressed shame–genocide against Native Americans, slavery, Jim Crow, Japanese internment–are all now being actively defended by Trump supporters. And because the mantra of the media is that Both Sides Must Be Represented, these absolutely revolting viewpoints are being mainstreamed. This is deeply disturbing and as I have been saying, we are simply going to have to fight this at every juncture.
candidate for 2017 thread?
― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 13 December 2016 02:32 (seven years ago) link
In the vein of the rap thread, it should be "Rolling 2017 thread on Pepes"
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Tuesday, 13 December 2016 03:00 (seven years ago) link
No it shouldn't.
