Maria, definitely time to disengage with some folks. You know what you do and can do and that's up to you. Me, I hardly ever post links to news or politics--I see all my friends posting the same articles and I comment and interact on those. But I don't generally feel like I need to add one more link--my friends are generally already seeing it?? And as you said, reality and calls and donations are more important than Facebook posts. :(
am assuming that it's Google Translate making my coworkers greeting to a customer whose first name is Jesus read "Hello Lord Jesus" but it is making me laug
That is amazing. Love it.
Timelies all!
Had a mammogram this morning. They're supposed to call me with the results, since something wasn't working there. Had another PT session at noon, and now I'm watching Drunk History.
Do I bother to call my TX senators? I mean really? Cruz & Cornyn there not really here for my liberal wishes.
I called Richard Burr on NC. It probably won't do anything but I had my say. Or I'm having my say I need to call agai.
I called my NC senators, and Burr and Tillis are not entirely aligned with my political viewpoint.
Actually, Burr is a great senator from a constituent response point of view. I've contacted him on many issues, and he's always responded saying a) he heard me, b) he'll be taking x action, and c) why he's chosen to do so. Frequently he (or his staffer, probably) will take the time to address specific things I've brought up in my emails. X action is usually the exact opposite of what I want, but I do generally feel like he (or his staffer, probably) has considered my point of view before choosing what he'll do. It's a lot like talking to my sister. She'll listen to me, but she's starting from very different premises than I am, so her conclusions are often very different from mine. (Although she can't stand Trump, and I'm reasonably sure she didn't vote for him.)
Glamcookie, if my post in any way came off as flip, I didn't mean it to, and I'm sorry. I am terrified for so many friends and their families right now. Doing everything I can think of and adding more as I can.
Not at all, hippo. I'm just so raw and on edge. I know all of y'all are good people. I'm just flip flopping between hopeless and furious. Furious does me more good than hopeless, so trying to stay there for now.
I'm burying this in here rather than putting it in Press for reasons...
A long time mentor and friend of mine is starting a website to prevent the normalization of the Trump presidency and upcoming administration decisions/policies. He is looking for content contributors. Given the nature of my work, my participation, if any, will be obfuscated.
Here is the shell of the website.
As an example of content, the first thing posted is likely to be Reince Prebius' congressional voting record on issues like the environment, social services, women's rights, judicial appointments, public housing, etc.
If you would like to contribute content, you can email me at my profile addy and refer to the "field guide."

Republican legislators should be bombarded with constant reminders that they will forever be tied to anything they let Trump do.
