Moving furniture with a bunch of men is waiting for the moment that they are ready to listen to your suggestion of how to angle it through a door
Me: Uh, we can take the feet off.
Them: two minutes pass, finally they do
Me: rotate it, tip it back, kick the bottom out
Them: Try six other clearly impossible ways
Me: ...
Them: Frustrated
Me: So how about we rotate it this way, tip it back, kick the bottom out?
Them: Yes!
Really we can apply this lesson to any public policy matter.

If @gtconway3d believes this of Trump (and I think he does) and believes that those politicians and advisers who continue to support Trump are condoning something dangerously evil (ditto) then how in good conscience can he stay married to @KellyannePolls? washingtonpost.com/opinions/georg…
I don’t ask this glibly. But this is different than the Carville/Matalin opposites attract type politcal marriage. By extension he’s accusing his wife of promoting racism, a racist regime. How can you stay if she imperils “the nation’s ideals, its very soul”?

Note byline.
For that matter, if you really believed your spouse was doing something so vile, so bigoted, to the entire country, wouldn’t you be making that case to a family court?

"Connor," Hank says eventually, his voice a low rumble in his chest where Connor is resting his head. He reaches up, carding a hand through Connor's hair. "Come on, baby. Shower."

And that's the third time that night that Connor knows he should go.
It's not the first time someone has offered, but he always cleans up back at the squat. He always wears some other man's sweat on his skin the whole way home, makes himself live with it, with himself.

He should do the same tonight.
And he's trying so hard to get the words off his tongue - "My sister will be worried", "I have to be somewhere early tomorrow", "I don't want to call a cab at three in the morning" - but instead he turns his face into Hank's neck, breathing him in.

A bowl of wet catfood was left out and it looks like it came down to eat so the cage will probably work. Will update you all with anything

Dear Liberal Men:
The women in your life are tired--shit storm laws are coming down hard and fast that are aimed at US & we are doing ALL the heavy lifting. ALL of it. While simultaneously #Resisting every other cluster f*ck coming at the country,
1/
 #Womensrights #men #allies
working, raising kids, and everything else.

You know that scene in #WonderWoman where Steve and the guys held the car door on their shoulders so that Wonder Woman could launch off of it?

BE STEVE.

 #men #resist
Men are equally responsible for pregnancies. You need to step up and fight this with us b/c we are taking flak from every angle right now.

Be an ally. Be loud. Make yourself heard. Hold the damn door for us to launch from.

#BeSteve

I've been watching videos all day. I have one thing to say (in a bunch of tweets, so hold on): The videos BACK UP/STRENGTHEN Mr. Nathan Phillips' account of what happened toward the conclusion of the #IndigenousPeoplesMarch on Saturday. They also reveal how it all happened. 1/
1. I attended the #IndigenousPeoplesMarch from 8:30am-1pm. We started on the stairs of the Department of Interior and marched to Lincoln Memorial. The spirit was peaceful. The call was for indigenous people and allies to receive the wisdom of the elders/remember who we are. 2/
2. While I was at #IPMDC19 at Lincoln Memorial I neither saw, nor heard any competing rally or street preachers. I did see a huge group that took up most of the steps. They took a picture on the Lincoln Memorial steps. Many in the group seemed to have red caps. 3/

@RandPaul We all knew you were a freak. Always willing to stake out positions that made no sense. But backing #Trump by calling for the revocation of the security clearances of 4-5 of the most respected men in intel?

WHAT DO #PUTIN/#TRUMP HAVE ON YOU ASSHOLE?

@SRuhle @MSNBC
@RandPaul @SRuhle @MSNBC @Elise_Jordan Are you out of your fucking mind? I had the utmost respect for you until two minutes ago. None of the people whose clearances #Trump is threatening to pull are POLITICIZING. THEY ARE SIMPLY TRYING TO TELL AMERICANS THE TRUTH. What are you saying Elise? Trump.../1
...can use his position & the intel he has access to to spew lies, to commit treason, to destroy our democracy & what? NO ONE WITH ACCESS TO FACTS CAN STAND UP & CALL TRUMP OUT?? I’d suggest you rethink your position or you will lose any credibility you had./2

men: this is the part where you LISTEN.
it’s cool that you’re “horrified” and “my god!” and “disgusted,” but let us take the lead here.
i don’t care about your take. i don’t care about your feelings on schneiderman’s statement. LISTEN to WOMEN. ignoring us for literally ever is what got countless serial abusers into office.
