Ok so hear me out let’s keep the Senate but turn LA, Boston, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx into individual states.
I’ll allow it.
So let it be state-ed.
So let it be done.

"This is our country. OURS."

The Republican Party has spent my entire lifetime and longer leading to this. They've nurtured and tended and encouraged the lie of white supremacy to harness it to their own ends.

They're a white supremacist party. Fascists always eat their own.
This is absolutely key.

Trump was not the cause of Republicanism. He was the result. Republicans created an equation that could only have ever produced something like him. They'll produce another, and worse, if they aren't politically destroyed.
It is.

Reality doesn't help fascism. The truth doesn't aid white supremacy. And so the Republican Party spent decades creating a malicious alternate reality for their followers to live in.

And now they all live there, with little hope of escape.

The Great American Forgetting Project starts today. They're going to simultaneously try to tell us the last four years were an aberration that is over, and that it never happened.

And it's natural to want to forget these awful years.

It's our moral duty not to. US President Donald Trump at the United Nations General Asse
Those who benefit from our country's malicious priorities will do everything they can now to get us to forget how incontrovertibly Trump exposed those priorities.

Many of us thought we were something better than we were, but now we know.

We've seen our nation's face. Enthusiastic supporters greet an openly authoritarian white
And many among us knew the truth all along. Many of us always saw our nation unmasked, because they were the ones who suffered it.

They told us all along, and the rest of us didn't listen.

Now that they've been proven correct, we're going to be asked to not listen again. STEVE SCHAPIRO/CORBIS VIA GETTY IMAGES The front line of deBlack Lives Matter demonstration.Library of Congress Image of civil rights marchers in Selma Militarized police violently riot against demonstrators prot

Ahem.

Fucking goddamn this fucking terminally weak pre-defeated bullshit.
I love all of you with all of my brain, but this isn't going to be a fun feed if you can't handle criticism of Democrats when they're being infuriating. There's always an excuse for it and it's rarely a good one.
The story could be “In interests of unity, Democrats offer to block their own bills” and even the most tepid cautiously worded complaint would result in my mentions flooded with angry reflexive defenses—as if the way you get what you want in politics is by never demanding better.

“What is a saint? A saint is someone who has achieved a remote human possibility. It is impossible to say what that possibility is. I think it has something to do with the energy of love."
"Contact with this energy results in the exercise of a kind of balance in the chaos of existence. A saint does not dissolve the chaos; if he did the world would have changed long ago."
"I do not think that a saint dissolves the chaos even for himself, for there is something arrogant and warlike in the notion of a man setting the universe in order."

Every argument against raising the minimum wage involves pointing to some other part of our broken system as if it were a beloved cultural treasure to defend rather than just the next unacceptable thing that needs fixing.
“How is it fair to pay people making minimum wage $30k a year when high school teachers start at that?” as if stagnant wages for teachers were an unrelated matter; don’t worry, Bill, we’ll get to it.
Everyone should have the means to survive and thrive and if the current system doesn't provide for that then nuts to the current system; we shouldn't work for it, it should work for us.

Of all the things I posted during these nightmare years, the one that sticks with me most is the one essayed by a far greater writer than me.

William Shakespeare, “The Stranger’s Case”
And the quote that has occurred to me most often:
The quote that has been my bell-weather and lighthouse.
