In the midst of the chaos of the GOP congressional leadership and the disgusting and damaging bill they’re trying to jam through, I’m thankful to be represented by @warren.senate.gov and @markey.senate.gov because they are the kind of fighters we need.

I literally just paid my taxes. Wait, do we not have to pay taxes anymore?

This sounds awfully familiar to what @gallego.senate.gov said on @podsaveamerica.crooked.com a few weeks ago.

This is pretty much exactly what @gallego.senate.gov said on @podsaveamerica.crooked.com a few weeks ago.

Spoken like a true financially secure white dude.

Send him links to all the locations in NH he could attend closer to home. He says he’s “not ready for that”. BIL says “we’ll be skipping”.

In so many ways they’re worse than my Trump supporting family members.

Exactly this. My FIL & BIL, self-professed “liberals”, don’t give a shit until the stock market is affected & then they’re blowing up the family group chat. FIL says he hopes “America revolts”. I remind him that he’s part of America & invite him to go to the protest I brought my kids to. 1/2

What kinds of things are you doing or have you done to protect your family’s rights given the current political and legal situations for queer people?

This is absolutely not parenting goals. She should never have had to do this.

I will say, leading Dems SHOULD be out there and getting themselves on the news in these situations. In normal times I’m not for exploiting a tragedy for political gain, but in these times it’s one of the only ways we have to break through the chaos machine outside of social media silos.

Got that after re-reading and seeing Chesapeake Bay and not Potomac. Sherrilyn is a reliable source, but this was a bit misleading due to the speed of social media scrolling. I always search for corroborating sources and wasn’t finding any. Should have reread more carefully before posting.

Why is this not being covered by news agencies? A quick google search of the news for this brings up nothing. Is it on cable news? This is the kind of attention that we need to bring to Democrats every single time Trump leaves it open like this. But mainstream news coverage needs to happen.

This is a shitty take. She holds zero political power at the moment. There are others in the Dem Party that should be taking the lead on this, but they’re continuing to empower geriatric members of the party who have zero understanding of the reality we’re living in. Harris should be resting.

Comic of two chameleons on a branch, surrounded by leaves. One is progressive pride flag colors, one is green. Green one says “why are you so determined about holding on to hope?” In the next panel the other says “because that’s the thing they want to take from us most of all”

Hang in there, babes

To strengthen your connections for the coming days, reach out to queer, trans, Black & brown, & immigrant friends to remind them that they matter to you. People are scared in a much deeper & more personal way than the social media outrage over very predictable words & actions of the inauguration.

Our country is been an oligarchy for every one of the 38 years I’ve been alive. This time it’s just more obvious.
