The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

One thing we're NOT going to do is wallow in doom and hopelessness right when countless people are joining the fight against our enemies.
The situation is awful. That's why so many people are angry, and why they're mobilizing.
You can let the horrors overwhelm you, or you can let them fuel you.

When you succumb to the cynicism, you are helping Trump. He wants you to think that all is lost, that he is all powerful, and that there is nothing we can do.
The fight for democracy is hard, but it is worth having. We have shown we can stand tall. We have shown we can win.

Yes, things are bad. But change is within our power. Grow up. Act like sober, responsible adults in a democracy instead of cynical, all-is-lost teenagers.
Now get off my lawn.

I don't think they're going to win the propaganda war over an ICE agent murdering a women in cold blood, because it's not possible to buy their lies if you aren't one of them
but what a bleak world we live in that this is a narrative struggle rather than justice

This is what is so fundamentally broken in some Americans.
They watch that video and think, he was in the right to shoot.
There is no middle ground for us to find with those people anymore. No compromise to be had.

Learning that this video is Ross' cell phone footage and was leaked to a right wing media outlet to prove his innocence, which is fucking bananas to me.

I went in *knowing* what I was doing - it was not my first exposure to traumatic imagery, I had been trained previously - and it still something I'm not going to get over.
so yeah: you do not have to watch the video. and you absolutely should not watch if you won't have access to help.

This is the first full game I've been able to watch this season and Iowa is far more cohesive than I was expecting.
I know it's Drake, but blowing them out of the water like this? The 3s and the selfless passing. Going to be a fun season and fingers crossed everyone stays healthy.

Lowering costs is the top priority for the American people. I voted against this budget bill because it does not prevent health insurance premiums from doubling for so many Americans. The President and Congressional Republicans should have come to the table to work with us to lower these costs.

I've left so many awkward voicemails today! My state's Senators (2), my state rep (1), my governor who isn't running again but loves boot licking (1)
I'm a one woman cringe tour of begging to fund the ACA and stop supporting the Pedo in chief. Those are my two talking points.

this is why you gotta call your senators even if they aren’t part of the ‘cave’ group - we could still stop this if they realize they have to do this by themselves, with no cover from anyone else
6/ with all the political damage and opposition demoralization that goes with that. Also I suspect - though I can’t be sure - that the cave group probably isn’t ready to do this with no cover at all. Final point, I made crystal clear as march was unfolding that the whole thing was playacting.
