My parents live with my husband and me now, with a “B” appended to our street address so they have their own mailing address. If I call (on my cell, because they do not own one) someone who is not my representative, I use her name and address because she and my father are rabid Republicans, and contribute a lot of the…

So I’ve recently taken up the practice of mailing one physical letter to some representive lobbying on some issue or other each day on my lunch break. Do physical letters help? Everyone seems to be super invested in phone calls so I worry letters are low impact. They’re typed, but they’re also personally written…

It’s on an office-by-office basis, granted.

As a former congressional intern, basically offices are most likely to take interns who live in their district. I worked for my Republican Congressman one summer for the experience and so I could talk to him and his staff about human rights issues.

Think about it this way the jobs offered are extremely limited and if you want to be a part of the political process someday (most of these folks are PoliSci majors and wish to move into the political arena someday) you take a job EVEN if it is with a congressperson or senator you don’t align with as it is the only…

I totally agree but if you are interning for Paul Ryan, aren’t you kind of an asshole anyways?

A friend of mine from MA called Collins’ office and pointed out that she vacations in Maine several times a year, spending several thousand dollars. She suggested that she would be more than willing to spend a little bit of that money helping fund someone running against Collins. Whether it works, it at least…

College credit? College credit? I did it for the honor of writing it on my resume and nothing else!

Yes, Todd Young is SUCH A WEASEL and thank you for your hard work to make America safe again.

I have been caling Ryan’s office a lot since the election. Some times I go straight to the switch board, I have been getting the busy signals a lot since them. For about a week I would be put on hold for absurd amounts of time while only getting through once to the switchboard again. (In what is probably a…

I’m in the Portlandia Free Zone, so I’m surrounded by like-minded people, which *really* helps my mental state. I don’t have to sit here and seethe when my coworkers sitting right next to me rave about the new administration (as was the case during 2001-2008) because they’re just as pissed about everything as I am.…

I have been enduring constant nightmares, and realised what a toll this constant stream of anguish is taking on my health

Year of the Rooster ➡️ Year of the Cock ➡️ Year of the Dick

Happy new year! Man, I’m totally still writing Monkey on my checks :)

Shit this white USAnian old lady knows what they were referring too. GUNG HEE FAT CHOY!

I empathize with you about the anxiety all of this craziness is causing. T

I truly wonder if people believe that acts of violence are no longer illegal as of January 20th.
