yall we can’t collectively screech that “no one’s doing anything!” and then say “no not like that” when someone actually does something.
is Booker’s filibuster gonna save the world? of course not. but since courage begets courage it could lead to more. I’m fucking cynical as hell but come on.

We've a balanced budget (20 years and counting!). This move to bring financial instability to DC is cruel. 700,000 taxpayers.

I was in Mannheim. Don’t know I would say the education system was better than what I had in Fairfax, VA. But the community, oh the community!!! It was an amazing opportunity to live & learn in a foreign country with the comfort of a military community’s support.
