La Lioness Priyanka's JournalWhile people are arguing over 2 men trying to lead a largely administrative job at the DNC
(yes, i know it has some tactical elements and a huge fundraising component)
The real resistance to Trump is being lead by women.
The stars in the senate right now are Liz Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Kamala Harris who are leading voices against Trump Cabinet nominees.
Sally Yates who refused to defend an illegal exec action.
Gabby Giffords who is shaming GOP to show up to townhalls
Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi in the house trashing Trumps every actions.
Laverne Cox and Janet Mocks who are leading the pushback against this anti-trans regime
Cecilia Richards of Planned Parenthood who is pushing back against more anti-choice legislation.
Not to mention women who marched in the women's march and women leading the pro-science resistance
Hillary was right when she said the future is female.

Naming liberal values after a single politician is fucking weird
i don't know why that is a thing except to keep the infighting in the democratic party going.
I support social justice and economic justice and politicians who can stand up for these values. I don't have Andrew Cuomo values or Bill de Blasio values, they both represent my values in some significant ways.
I have realized I don't give a shit if Ellison or Perez wins the DNC chair job
i had a slight preference for Perez because of his ties to Obama, and I still have a slight preference for him. But I don't really give a shit.
If Keith wins it, good for Keith and I hope good for us too.
What i do care, is people falsely maligning Tom Perez, who is a hardworking, liberal, loyal Democrat. That I care about.
Tom Perez is not (a) neoliberal (b) corporatist and (c) or whatever the fuck establishment means.
And people who malign him as such are lying, dumb, and trying to break apart the Democratic party because they are still butthurt about something.
Every network is showing the picture of Mike Flynn at a Putin dinner
they should point out that Jill Stein is at the same dinner. at the same table.
imagine being dumb enough to vote for her, while throwing out words like 'corporatist' and 'neoliberal' at the rest of us.
tsk tsk.
If HRC was president, we would not be talking about Jeff Sessions as AG
and Coretta Scott King's words would not have been silenced in the Senate.
We would not have confirmed someone for Education Secretary who hates everything good about public education.
Maybe some people need this kind of turmoil to feel woke, but I am woke AF. I don't need other people's rights taken away to feel woke.
Woke = socially aware and active
AF = as fuck
