You could pretty much turn that whole area into a crater and end up with a net benefit to humanity.

It’s even worse than that, really. They don’t care if they’re economic migrants or actual asylum seekers. They see them as brown people. And they don’t want them here no matter what.

I’ve been “fine” all day at work. Every single person I’ve talked to has asked me if I’m okay. And I’m fine.

I’m still drunk enough that I’m seriously wondering if I can manage to get a fuckton of Beto for Senate sighs and wallpaper the fucking neighborhood overnight.

I understand you completely, including and especially the divorce.

I hear you on coping. Not so much with eating, but drinking. I know it’s not healthy but it’s what I have right now.

So much yes. I mean, I’d be ready to vote for the dead moth my cat brought me last night over Cruz, but it feels good to feel like we have a fighting chance right now.

To everyone here, everyone in pain, and everyone witnessing and supporting:

Fuck every single one of them. I’ve been crying too hard to see if Cruz had that fucking awful smirk on his face, but I just know he did.

I wish SO MUCH that I could feel even a ray of optimism through the choking cloud of pain and despair I’m in that any single one of the fuckers trying to ram this through will come to their senses and drop this piece of shit.

I understand. I'm like a frightened bird battering the inside of a cage right now. Thankfully I'm off of work already, but I'm fucking pacing. I haven't been able to sit down.

You’re absolutely right. I understand why she did it, because there are so many fucking people out there who think a victim is only credible if they have the right backstory and that’s the intended audience for it, but it’s bullshit.

I’ve been on my friends’ asses for months about getting out and voting. And right now I’m pissed off enough that if I find out any of them didn’t, we’re fucking through.

Except the GOP doesn’t care. It’s a lose-lose for democrats in a way. Force out a progressive senator or be called hypocrites. And, you know, that’s fair. If you do scummy things, you should be shown the door. And the moral high ground is great.
