Voting rights needs to be federal. Period. Let’s do what we did when the GOP tried to take away health care. Remember? Call your senators. Tell them to pass Senate bill 1.
Please PLEASE don’t tell me you have GOP senators. Take your power. Use your voice. It does not matter what you think they will do. Blow up the phones. Even if they don’t do what you say, at least you can say you did everything in your power
If you believe in democracy, exercise your rights every chance you get. That includes expressing your opinions whether or not people agree with you. This is so primary. If you don’t speak up, you have already lost.

If you have a Republican Senator I hope you are calling them every day with your opinion on the #impeachment YOUR VOICE MATTERS
Let me clarify: ESPECIALLY if you have a Republican Senator: CALL. it doesn’t matter what you think they will do. What matters is using your voice. That’s what democracy is. If you don’t think your voice counts, we are really lost.
What they care about is public opinion. So use your voice.

In regards to GOP congresspeople feeling afraid for their lives: perhaps you didn't have your grown sons call you the night of the 2016 election, asking if we (as Jews) will be safe here now. Maybe you didn't hear your husband tell the family to get their passports in order /1
2/ just in case we had to flee. Maybe you thought that he couldn't be that bad -- but it was clear to anyone paying attention that he was dangerous. SURELY Jews, Muslims, Latinx, African Americans - we could have told you how terrified we were -
3/ We didn't even know that families would be separated, or that we'd have a pandemic that would be worse bc he couldn't govern - but we KNEW in our bones - from age-old cellular trauma that he was capable of horror

Seriously, he should be impeached bc of his egregious failed handling of the pandemic alone.
Dayenu. “It would have been enough”

“I’ve think we lost Ken for a second” @msnbc (someone will find the clip bc I can’t stop laughing)
This is why. My husband said to me - “he (Ken) sounds like you!”
We need Ken back. We need to know what he was reading. I can’t go on with my day until we know. @craigmelvin

Morning thoughts after the #Debates2020 We have been living in the midst of evil for 4 years. For all of us with tender hearts this has felt intolerable. /1
2/ Last night Donald trump has an opportunity to express empathy for the families of 220,000 dead Americans - many of whom died alone. He was not able to do so
3/ Last night trump was offered an opportunity to express compassion for the children he ripped from parents arms to sleep alone on concrete. He could not offer a single shred of care
