TRUMP TRAUMA

"You need to treat women like sh-t." - President Elect Donald Trump

“There is purpose in your fury, in trying to make sense of the senseless.”

- Christine Horansky

“NEVER again can the U.S. lecture us on extremism or misogyny or on how we should treat women. This election sends a message to women in Egypt and across the world that powerful men can sexually assault you and worse and still be elected president." - Mona Eltahawy, Egyptian feminist and author

FIRST 100 DAYS:

"Unless Trump makes a major statement denouncing the white nationalist movement, it will become so powerful that even he won't be able to stop it. White ethno-centrism -- in which only white Europeans are considered the right inheritors of this country and Jews,blacks, Muslims etc. should be "conquered" -- is extremely dangerous to every one of us. This is not Germany in the 1930s. It is the United States today. Google this. Learn about it. Join whatever organization you feel moved to join, that stands for the American values the white nationalist movement would override. And no matter what, do not see this as a joke because it is not.


"My recommendations are the NAACP, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the ACLU, and the Anti-Defamation League." - Marianne Williamson
