Authoritarianism and ethno-nationalism is on the rise in Washington, and Americans are fighting back the best way they know: by mass-producing pink knit cat-shaped pussy hats.

In the past few months, pink pussy hats have become the unofficial symbol of the resistance to Trump. Ride on a DC subway or head to your local town hall meeting and there’ll you find a coven of delightfully angry women in pink hats, ready to push a flyer into your hand, scream at some weak-kneed Congressman and knit as long as it takes until freedom rings.

It’s a gorgeous thing. It’s also not for everybody.

If you want to fight Trumpism but you just can’t bring yourself to wear a cat/metaphorical vagina on your head, we understand. We love ’em, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have some personalized alternatives too:

1. The Beanie Sanders

Who wants to relive the 2016 election? Jesus, apparently you do, and now you can with this Bernie Sanders inspired Beanie, featuring flyaway strands of yarn/hair.

2. The Maxine Waters crown

A queen is not a queen without one thing: her crown. You can’t be Queen Rep. Maxine Waters, but you can have resting near your brain at all times.

3. The public transportation hat

Our planet is burning to a crisp. We don’t need offensive trucker hats and early ’00s hipsters. We need public transportation. We need this illustration. We need this weird hat.

4. Bucket of liberal tears hat

Collect your trauma and your anti-fascist rage in one hat. #ReclaimTheBucket

5. Anti-fascist five panel

Anti-fascism for the Hyperbeasters of the world. It’s the five panel of your dreams/Instagram stories.

6. Pussy coin purse

You love the pussy hat movement, but you’re just not ready to wear a metaphorical vagina with cat ears on your head. Why not apply the same aesthetic to your most *critical* accessory, and put your politics where you put your pennies?

Everyone’s got their own personal pussy style. Everyone.
