Called my damned congressthing (this is probs about the 50th call since Inauguration Day). Confrontational all around. Called for his resignation for “protecting pedophiles”. Called him a coward for never having in-person townhalls. Made the staffer READ BACK TO ME all my grievances.

I don’t have a lot of time so quick thread on exactly WHY what I posted about today is so bad. TLDR: it’s like the most convoluted fucked up incestuous polycule I’ve ever heard of. 🥴🥴🥴

Yesterday’s call to do-nothing CongressThing Jack Bergman (Michigan 1st congressional). Ugly.

Staffer: “Yes he does.”

I was so very heartened to see 7,000 good neighbors/good citizens/responsible and engaged humans protest alongside me and my wife, joyfully and peacefully (of course!) in my hometown this weekend.

This is important. This is lovely, really
Shotout also to the conservative dude standing beside me, at his first ever protest, waving an American flag because “this is all too much” and politely scolding the jerks. One dude drove by with a giant Confederate flag — in Puget Sound, ffs — and he yelled, “It’s not too late to change!”
