Agreed. I probably won’t live in Colorado for the 2020 election, but I’m sure as hell phone banking from out of state for whoever challenges Gardner. I’ve gone from finding him disingenuous and annoying to hating his smug fucking face.

Yeah, this is lighting a fire under my ass for voter outreach, voter registration, and get out the vote for 2018. I have hope. I’m ready to start the new year with a clipboard in my hand.

Makes sense - the critique being of foreign policy experience makes much more sense, even if I don’t agree with it either. Thanks for clarifying.

In 2020, Harris will have been in the Senate as long as Obama was when he was nominated. I think she should go for top of the ticket.

Amen about voting. And all of you who are already psyched to vote: get your family to vote. Your friends to vote. Go drinking afterwards. Even better, work with your local Indivisible or Swing Left group to register voters and get out the vote for 2018. Usually democrats/progressives/young people suck at voting in…

Legos for sure. I loved legos at that age.

I’d be really sad if my parents got rid of my first real bed. It was a platform bed with drawers underneath! I painted the drawers and knobs different colors with my mom when we first got it. I got to pick the colors out. I think I was 4. When I was about 15 I re-did my room and gave the colorful bed to my sister, who…

I’m not betting on 2018 being a good year for progressives and democrats just by magic, or grace, or whatever ... I’m getting off my ass and trying to get progressives to actually fucking vote in 2018. If you want to help democrats stop fighting and get them voting instead, we could use the extra hands!

I like your students.

Amen about getting rid of Columbus day.

The man eats pizza with a knife and fork. We revoked his New Yorker license long ago.

If you do end up smacking some of these Congressional jackasses, please record it so the rest of us can enjoy a brief feeling of justice.

A both accurate and poetic comparison.

A-fucking-men. I work in science, and if I ever get to run my own lab this will absolutely be included in every interview.

I approve of this pin :)

Ok, maybe a dumb question, but: since you mention Beirut, did you go to college in New Jersey? I’ve only ever played it/heard it mentioned there, wondering if we did undergrad in the same place.

May it’s easier when it’s a less-extended part of the family, or when it’s with in-laws? I’ve gone along with The Boyfriend on vacation with his parents, his siblings, and his siblings’ baes. Always a good time. But I’ve also gathered from his stories that family vacations that include cousins or grandparents are less…

I know I’m probably preaching to the choir, but when thinking about a blue blow-out 2018 election, we need as many hands on deck as possible. If you’re not already volunteering, see if your local Dem party, Swing Left group, Sister District group, or Indivisible group is doing voter registration, canvassing, and other…

Man I LOVED doing archery when I was at Girl Scout camp. Thanks for teaching it! You rock.

Holy shit, isn’t that ability to enter a building in the 45-mile zone a violation of the 3rd and 4th amendments?
