Pantsuit Nation gives me such hope.

[WOT?*]

You can post your favorite stories here. But this is my favorite so far today.


A woman posted that she took her eleven year old daughter to vote with her. She was adopted in 2005 and this year has been a victim of bullying for being internationally adopted. As her mom voted, she leaned over to tell her "If your generation votes to build a wall, I just want you to know my generation will be strong enough to tear it down."


I want that to be the motto of every girl her age. I'm going to make sure mine know that they can do anything.

My Facebook feed is almost entirely Pantsuit Nation and it's fabulous.

I saw that one, too. A friend re-posted it on her wall. It made me tear up.

I love Pantsuit Nation.

I kind of loved when Gerald Ford's granddaughter was just all casual and "well as the granddaughter of a former Republican president" lol

You need to be FB friends with some in the group. I can add you if you want. 

[saz]

I'm not sure we should post stuff outside of the group. Isn't one of the rules not to repost without permission?

Regardless, I feel like the pantsuit nation has changed my life. I know that's dramatic but I feel like a different person.

I generally don't like to connect this place to FB buuuuut I'm going to PM you.

Oh, man, it's so good and heart-wrenching and everything all at once.

It inspired me to dig out one of my two pantsuits to wear tomorrow- I'm usually a dress and blazer person, but tomorrow is special.

I'm a lurker and absolutely the most liberal of my friends. Can someone pm me so I can join? I need something to counteract the insanity my family has been spewing.

PSN and PSN-Texas Chapter have put me in a whole new mindset. It is a magical place. I feel so much calmer and have cried every five minutes today.

Today was the first day in months I didn't feel a knot in my stomach when thinking about the election. It gives me so much hope for the future, even if the orange one wins.

[pinkdutchtulips]

My cousin in DC added me today such a wonderful group of women !

[rockpaperscissors]

I literally cannot get enough of the stories being shared. It's so uplifting and hopeful. Hope seems lacking this election season. I'm hopeful for tomorrow!

[bowies]

I posted a story over the weekend. I'll let you guess which one.

[beeks]

I was just reading the post from the former Apprentice contestant. Awesome group!

It's changed the whole tone of the last few days. It's been so empowering.

[compassrose]

It's definitely changed my mindset from one of anxiety to one of hope. It doesn't hurt that there are probably thousands of members from my alma mater on there, all rejoicing.

I about passed out when I saw that Kathy Valentine had posted. Seriously fangirled. If Joan Jett posts I may hyperventilate. These ladies showed me in the 80's that you could be bad ass as a girl.

Seriously, the group is amazing! I can't read it too much at work because I end up in tears! So inspiring and awesome to see so many people sharing their stories.

Also, I just got added and see that a lot of of my friends are in it and am mad at them for not inviting me sooner :-P

specka - if you still need an invite, send me a PM with your email address and I'll add you!

[specka]

You guys are great, thanks tripleshot and Pom!

[funchicken]

I love it. The stories are amazing. It's made me feel so much better about the election.

[turnipthebeet]

Can anyone tell me how to turn my profile picture into the white H? I feel like a moron!

[scribellesam]

Someone added me this morning! It's going to make my day so much better today. I love it.

My "story" didn't make the cut yesterday (no hard feelings, I heard they had 12k posts in the queue waiting to be moderated and my story was pretty lame comparatively!), but my pantsuit selfie got posted this morning! I'm so happy. (It's the big hair one. I got a new diffuser this weekend. Lol).

[smock]

I posted this morning!
