Bernie Sanders warns Trump not to turn against minorities.
Fun facts about your sign here
Sheโs such a darling

To the people who:
-Didnโt vote -Wrote Bernieโs name in after he told you not to -Voted for Trump as a protest -Voted 3rd Party as a protest -Wrote in FUCKING HARAMBE as a protest
This is what happened. You spat in the face of the man you worshipped. And you broke his heart.
youngblackandvegan:
This election is an excellent example of what lengths white people are willing to go to when they are afraid of losing their status as majority and privilege. White people, consumed by fear, created Trump
Well thatโs racist and sterotypical
Oh fucking really?
What does this mean?
Right now, the presidential election results are only a PROJECTION of the election outcome. They are PRELIMINARY RESULTS. A candidate still needs to earn 270 electoral votes to win. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, which means that more than 50% of the voters wanted her for president. The electoral college shouldnโt guarantee an override of the publicโs opinionโ and it doesnโt have to.
There are 21 states that do NOT restrict which candidate the electors vote for. Out of these 21, Hillary lost the following:
As you can see, these states are worth 166 electoral votes. As it currently stands, Hillary Clinton is projected to receive 232 votes. Trump is projected to win 306. This means that 37 votes need to be taken away from Trump to bring him down to 269. Hillary Clinton needs 38 votes ADDED to win 270. These electoral voters can also abstain, which means that they can refuse to vote for either candidate. If 37 of the voters within these states abstain then no candidate will have reached the required 270. In this case, the vote would be taken to the House.
Trump won Pennsylvania, a state that typically votes blue, by less than 100,000 votes. While it is highly unlikely to get all 20 electoral voters to cross party lines and vote democrat, it also isnโt impossible to convince a few of them to beย โfaithless electors.โ We only need to convince 38 out of the 166. That is 23%. There are SIXTEEN states we need to focus our attention on.
A move like this would be unprecedented. However, as we all saw on November 8th, odds donโt guarantee reality. Trump had a less than 20% winning, yet given the circumstances, enough people came together and made it happen. We can make this happen.ย
Ask yourself this: What do we have left to lose? We can stay complacent and accept that this country will be run by a racist, sexist, islamophobic, homophobic, ablest bigot, or we can at least try.ย
How?
SPREAD THE WORD. Trend #NotMyPresident to let people know that we do not accept being led by a man who does not care about our wellbeing. Email your professors, email the dean of your colleges. The last thing a university wants is negative press. Millenials can take a stand, but that doesnโt mean we have to be the only ones. Church-led events helped bring a lot of disillusioned voters to the polls. Spread the word in any way possible, whether it be on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, or even in person. Stage a peaceful protest. Hand out flyers. Let the people around you know that you donโt accept this man as your leader when he wonโt even accept you as a citizen with your designated rights.
These 166 people need to face the consequences of electing this man.ย
Do this for the people who couldnโt vote. Do this for the people who live in the very real fear of being deported. Do this for the people who will have to face the rise in hate crimes. Do this for the people who have a very real possibility of losing their rights. Do this for the people who will no longer afford necessities.ย
This is how it is: Trump gets sworn in January 20th. Weโve still got 2.5-ish months under the Obama Administration. Between now and then thereโs the chance to make a media circus out of Donald Trumpโs upcoming sexual assault trial, creating more friction between him and his party, giving us at least a little breathing room in congress. Heโs appointing three new judges this term, so checks and balances (which werenโt really adjusted well for a two-party system) wonโt be in good working condition for the Democrats (which counts third-party and non-voters and basically any minority because welcome to reality).ย
So first thing: fight for that media circus. House reps will do ANYTHING for reelection. Friction within the party will force them to pick sides.
Second thing: VOTE IN 2018. Mid-term elections are a thing. ALL 435 SEATS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES WILL BE CONTESTED. Go out and VOTE. We can win back the house. Thatโs one victory we sorely need. 33/100 SEATS OF SENATE WILL BE CONTESTED. We can win that back, too. 38 GOVERNORSHIPS WILL BE CONTESTED. If your countyโs red, time to turn that around. VOTE ON NOVEMBER 6TH, 2018.
The clock is ticking guys.
His sexual assault case was dropped by the accuser HOWEVER he still has roughly 70 other lawsuits against him, one being the trump university thing which Iโve been informed is a Rico case. I have a vague recollection of Rico from watching SoA but not enough to be helpful. But do your research and make the next 2 months the hell for him. @medievaldendrophile

Shadi Petosky just wanted out of Orlando, Florida. On Monday night, Petosky, a 35-year-old transgender woman, attempted to board a flight at Orlandoโs International Airport when she was detained by the TSA. The reason? An โanomalyโ โ her genitals. The TSA does have a policy for treating trans fliers, but thereโs just one problemย with it.
