Daily feminist cheat sheet

I’m simply shocked – *shocked* – to learn that women are leading the resistance.

Sean Spicer needs a history lesson – bad.

Fucking in the age of Trump.

Reports of detentions and deaths of LGBTQ folks in Chechnya are horrific.

How Trump’s policies and budget cuts target vulnerable communities worldwide.
