I am in Texas and my district is gerrymandered to hell and back. Please instruct me on your ways wise one.

I live in Kansas. This is my second or third new doctor after the first few refused to believe that a woman my age didn’t want to be ready to make the babies RIGHT NOW.

Couldn’t agree more!

The ladies I know that voted for him have doubled down on their commitment and are quite pleased with the ridiculous and/or horrendous things he has done so far. ugh.

Remind everyone exactly what it would be like to “Make America Great Again”.

If this petition goes up, I will sign it immediately.

This is an excellent suggestion. I would prefer this over the Town Hall style. How do we make this happen?

That’s not how an adult reads....that’s the reading level of my four year old niece.

(Yes, some people are happy about this, but I think that number is bound to go down as he destroys the economy AND destroys the lives of POC everywhere.)

Our faith and the book we’re reading are no longer reflected for us in mainstream Christianity. They don’t even resemble each other anymore.

I joined the Texas Democratic Women (affiliated with the DNC). With all of this, my 16 year old son told me he wants to get into politics. He feels that at 16 he knows more about running the government than Orange Julius does at 70. I think he is correct. So, we are skipping school and work to watch the politicians…

I know two people with party buses. I already reserved to rent both party buses for November 6, 2018 to haul people to the polls (one is giving me a discount). I am not religious, but I have religious friends (can’t help it, I am af-am in Houston, Texas) and am willing to rent the same party buses for early voting…

This is about my sons future and all the work I’ve done in my life not coming to some nuclear cheeto crescendo.

Maybe that’s why this week has been so shitty for me. I’m so tired, just everything hurts.

I read a lot of fiction recently. I recently finished A Dragonfly in Amber, and just started Voyager.

I take at least 2 days off a week. I also do NOT look at anything news related two before bed. If I do, I have terrible nightmares and end up awake half the night. Also, my liver is screaming for mercy for all the alcohol I have been consuming.

I told them whatever choices they make in life, good or bad, is theirs to make, but just know that there are parts of this country that don’t care about your character or your value as a person; they only care about whether or not you are “white”. I don’t think that’s being racist; it’s being a realist. Some day that…

while it is really upsetting and I understand (all too well) how you feel - try not to be exhausted. take a break, turn off your breaking news alerts, focus on self care, make a list, try therapy, walk in the woods.

Damn! That sucks. I mean just when I sorta consider fleeing my blue island for a blue state, I see where it can be worse. The sad thing is many of these Trump states are worse off with him as president (I mean other than us all being worse off). Good luck and keep fighting the good fight.

Yep. And we need to bring our white feminist friends through to the other side. We need to speak as harshly to them when they are being racist as we would about a man being sexist.
