I worked in a legislative office. You would be amazed the amount of constituents who never contact their elected representatives, yet believe themselves to be involved or interested in public matters. Voicing your opinion absolutely does count. How is an elected official supposed to represent you if they never hear

When you’re a black person, you risk your life just by going outside. Sit down.

I bet you’re really knowledgeable about Black Panther tactics. Can you tell me what they were, exactly?

I’m about to head to the Governor’s mansion in a minute. My daughter sent me a text today, “Mom, I love you. I’m so scared.”

I share a name with a location, so my husband bought a shirt with “I’d rather be in (location name)“ on it. I’m with you on these things only being acceptable in the double entendre sense.

I don't get it. He was building a pretty good brand, being sensitive, funny, feminist, attractive, etc., and now he's ruining it. Why would he sabotage his image like this?

Just wait until she titles her next hit “The lovesong of J. Thomas Hiddleston".
