2/2. Then I turn off commenting. Finally, I made someone frustrated enough to call me out on it, and start trying to bully me.
It made me feel good.
I live in Fort Worth and it’s kind of demoralizing sometimes. I’ve gotten to where I go to Fort Worth political memories on Facebook, a mostly MAGA bunch, and post Heather Cox Richardson’s letter for that day. 1/2
“I think this says that they will not tolerate us being active participants in our democracy—they want an autocracy,” Emily Feiner told Mother Jones.
Meet the 64-year-old retired social worker who went viral after being forcibly removed from her representative's town hall.
I am concerned that Trump will conflate the two. He will complain that the protest is against our military to try to divide us.
I am the proud mom of a prior service Marine and current Army Reservist. I will make the day special for him, because it means a great deal to recognize them. (2 of 2)

Thanks, was looking for just this. My beloved Fort Worth Report made the list, I see.
A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.
Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.
Who’s with me?
When I say that the right is dominating the left on almost all platforms, this is what I mean. I hope Democratic officials take this into account every day. If you want an ecosystem that will advocate for YOU, then YOU need to help build it. Give interviews to creators, break news with creators...
