Even though this was gutting and these folks are Satan's minions in Jesus' clothes...
The Vote was 213 to 217. That was 4 folks. FOUR out of 430. Your advocating matters you're calling matters
These assholes came on in January and swore that they were gonna cakewalk through the year after a 100 day stroll
Even when some of these legislators have been slippery and indecisive ? You have knocked them back EVERY single time
It's only 105 days and Paul Ryan had to BEG on bended knee , and Cheeto already wants to go home
They went from power strutting to banking on four folks . That's facts
Yes this just harm reduction but harm reduction MATTERS . Live matters and fighting for it is LONG TERM
and people on the RIGHT and the LEFT thought folks would burn out by now. Be complacent
and now ? They gotta sell the store to get four.
We don't gotta compromise or strategize SHIT at this point. IT's a BRAWL . There are less of them than there are of us
Love is patient love is kind and in the words of @MoneyLynch ? "Sometimes you just gotta run through a motherfuckers face"
if they wanna sing to our deaths with beer ? They better be prepared for the tune-up EVERY TIME WE BLITZ? ALL NIGHT
Defeat is not the failure . Acceptance is
We don't do this "for the Dems" because i want to drop kick some of them into the Potomac. It's for US.
Take care of you . Breathe . Cry . Fuck. Sleep . Meditate . Blaze . Pray Dance it out . Step in and step out
But don't you dare feel like you didn't do anything or what you're doing doesn't matter. It does

Let me know if doesn't work. I'm out of free articles for the month. I'll keep looking for a non-paywalled source.

Date: 2017-05-05 05:18 am (UTC)I'm hoping to follow up tomorrow or Monday to see if he has a town hall meeting during the recess, and writing a letter to my local paper if not. (I say "hoping" because I have pretty terrible social/phone anxiety; I depend on Resistbot a lot, but this is something I need to talk to people about. Maybe I can get someone else to call if I can't manage, though.)
