A Few Things

For those who aren't on Twitter, here's a catch up of some of the stuff I was talking about this weekend.

Not going to "give him a chance." I'm going to resist every single thing he tries to do, b/c he's used every chance he ever got to hurt ppl.

Please remember that. He's used every single chance he's ever gotten in his very privileged life to hurt people.

Don't give him a chance. Resist mightily.

Every single one of the people with influence who said Trump was unfit before the election should be saying the same thing now. More loudly.

Trump is not going to "denounce racism." He's bringing white nationalists & people from SPLC-identified hate groups into the WH as we speak.

Trump is not going to "denounce sexism." His transition team is exclusively men, and he's not withdrawn threat to sue his abuse accusers.

It is WEEK ONE, and he's showing us that he's going to be exactly who he has always been. Pretending it could be otherwise is apologism.

We know how this is going to go. Every legal option should be used to stop him now. Institutions won't protect us w/ no checks and balances.

The only argument for NOT doing it is that people might get hurt. Well, those people are going to get hurt anyway. And we all know it.

If he changes, it will be for the worse, because he now has nearly unlimited power and believes he has a mandate to use it to do harm. https://t.co/4qK8r7qTxk

Know this: Arguing to "give him a chance" is an argument that comes at the cost of marginalized people's safety and lives.

Priebus as chief of staff. Bannon as chief strategist. As equal partners, thus marrying the GOP establishment and white nationalism.
