To @kyrstensinema,

You may or may not be familiar with me, but if you aren't it wouldn't surprise me. I am one of your constituents.

I am one of the countless Arizonans who worked tirelessly so you could be where you are, drinking sangria, telling all of us to fuck off.

1/?
I knocked on doors in the Arizona weather.

I text banked. I called Independents. I donated.

I signal boosted other large twitter accounts in exchange for them signal boosting your account... not mine.

I must've posted the link to your website hundreds of times.

2/?
When other progressives told me I was working to elect someone who was just as bad as McSally - I pleaded with them. I said there was always a better choice and that you were it.

Speaking of choice... whatever happened to the pink tutu? But anyways.

3/?
Even if McSally had won the election I doubt she'd be using her government salary to tell me to fuck off in jewelry form.

Honestly, what happened to you? You used to be a champion of the people. You used be human, not just some snarky GIF.

Is it the lobbyists? The money?

4/?
What messages do your actions send to the younger generations in Arizona?

When I was doing my freelance digital volunteer work here on twitter I made connections with some of your comms staff.

They WERE so proud to be part of your campaign.

5/?
I'm mad, disappointed and sad.

I thought you would stick up for America and everyone in it.

You make my heart hurt. I guess that's what I came here to say.

I probably could have done it in one tweet but I needed to get this off my chest as I feel you are my fault.

Shawn

When you wash your dreads you have to ring them out in the shower and violently shake them or it takes all day for them to dry

Thing is I got this spider camped out above my tub, not sure what kind it is or if it's a boy or girl so I simply refer to it as "the spider"

1/?
So everyday I go in & wash my hair. And everyday the spider takes incredible offense when I shake my dreads dry because, from what I'm guessing, the spider feels like it's a full on attack

The spider does this dance, back & forth, back & forth in an attempt to intimidate me

2/?
I'm pretty sure the spider hates me, but it's all good, I can understand why

Then the unthinkable happened

I'm washing & I see a dark spot floating across the bottom of the tub, towards the drain, & it's the fucking spider

I turn off the water just as the spider clings..

I really wanted to keep this, but I'd be happier with the publicity & to turn this into a contribution I cannot afford

That's it

We've all seen the guy at a Home Depot hoping to make a wage

He has no tattoos, only has work boots, he's never joined a gang

He asks a man if he can help but when he tries

The man says no, he gets on his phone and he calls ICE
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his boots
Cuz then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues

Then you really might know what its like
Then you really might know what its like
Then you really might know what its like
Then you really might know what its like
Mary got raped by a bunch of thugs while heading home for lunch

Her husbands gone, she can't call the cops, they're all corrupt

Three months later, two months along, and with no one to call

She leaves her land, to go and find her man, he's north of the wall

#ShaveItOrSaveIt THREAD

In need of a feel good story? Something to inspire you after a long week?

How about (Az state Rep) @JenLongdon shaving her head to raise $5K for for her district's 5 most strapped schools?

#LD24 #RedForEd 1/8
secure.actblue.com/donate/cutitoff
@JenLongdon 2/8

There's a whole lot going on is this story

While the mission to raise $5K remains the primary initiative, @JenLongdon is also hoping to bring awareness to other issues such as teacher salaries & the quality of drinking water in Phx public schools

Let's start with salaries
@JenLongdon @arizona_sos @RedForEdFACTS @DoctorRhetorica 3/8

The same Arizona public school teachers who receive salaries far below the national average are also having to purchase supplies

They do this to help their students who would otherwise go without, and for the most part these kind acts go unnoticed

Like countless others, I've battled with depression and anxiety this past couple few years

I used to be a happy hippie

There's been times where I wanted to throw the towel in

Times where I've felt alone, powerless & hopeless

But I hide it by making jokes and staying busy

1/
For me, it isn't Trump

A snake is going to be a snake

For me it's the people, and the elected officials who have not only condoned Trump's bigotry and behavior

They've supported and even protected it

These are the actions that I will simply never understand

2/
So I do what others do

I fight it every step of the way, when I'm able to do so

I self medicate, I take breaks, I surround myself with the people who continue to constantly amaze me, but it's still extremely difficult

This aint like no "marathon" I've ever seen
