Wise words from my wise therapist: allyship isn’t unicorns and rainbows. If you’re not distressed by what’s happening right now, you aren’t close enough to someone who is being harmed. Lean in.

Update from Idaho. A friend just texted me a pic of this potato along with the following: Why is it saying, “It’s going to be OK”?

“This isn’t what I voted for” is the new “thoughts and prayers.”
Empty words.
What are you DOING to atone for your vote? Are you willing to protest? Boycott? Call reps? Participate in mutual aid? Condemn ICE? Get educated about fascist regimes & resist this one? If the answer is no, stop talking.

This is why elected officials need to listen to their constituents when we call on issues. We know what the bills say, because we’ve done our research.
Pretty sad when collective citizens are doing these reps’ jobs better than they are.

Legislators in the so-called “pro-life” party refuse to pass common sense gun laws that would help prevent school shootings, and now support an administration that plans cuts to mental health programs. Make it make sense.
You really have to be a special kind of evil to rip $1 BILLION from school mental health and anti-violence programs—because they dared to be inclusive. Trump isn’t saving kids—he’s sacrificing them to push his hateful agenda.

Dunk-quoting is such a lazy way to engage on social media. I’d love to see this practice die over in The Bad Place.

I really don't like dunk-quoting unless its at a billionaire or an elected.
And I really don't like it when it feels distorting.
And I don't do it.
I just post my own thoughts or counterpoints in my own feed.
