That's definitely being played backwards

It's going to be very hard to not be constantly enraged for the next four years. Goddammit.

Im glad that some of the men on RM can vouch for how women should feel about the new administration and women's rights.

identity politics has well and truly ruined america, maybe forever

It just seems like this Gandhi fellow's message is dilluted and vague. Why on earth is he fixating on salt? And if a condiment is worth marching over, doesn't that imply to the rest of the world that India is doing ok? That maybe the Brits are not much of a threat?

Ghandi's message was very specific: GTFO. That's why it worked. That and he had a sympathetic ear in Brits who figured out that colonialism was far less profitable than free trade.

I thought Daniel McCarthy had a good Twitter thread going on this yesterday:

But...but that's how they do it. If they introduced a bill to defund domestic violence programs everyone who votes for it has to explain to their constituents why they don't want to help battered women. But if you put it in a bigger package that does lots of other things lawmakers can then say "I voted to help reign in government spending, sure there were things in it I didn't like but overall it'll get us back on track towards fiscal solvency". In the meantime, battered women are (even more) fucked.

Kinda like when democrats pass bloated spending bills and create easily corruptible new agencies under the guise of "the children" or whatever, so that when people get sick of the bullshit and cut those useless programs, they can cry about the mean old republicans wanting their kids to starve.

@ToryAnarchist? yikes

Yeah, uh, maybe the good usernames were all taken.

Still.

[Dscans]

This isn't real is it?

That's an awkward turn. I'd say it was probably being played backwards but it also doesn't seem like many people in the Trump family have mastered the art of moving like a regular human.

Domestic violence has decreased 64% since the Violence Against Women Act. But yeah, that's just bloat.
