Republicans are out here screwing over Americans left & right (because there are plenty of conservative voters that still somehow vote to lose their own benefits…). Then we have the Dems trying their hardest to stop the collapse of necessary services.

Tonight House Republicans voted 217 to 215 for a budget that'll take $1 TRILLION dollars from Medicaid, attack food benefits for kids, hurt seniors and vets.

but I don't want to talk about that, I want to talk about these two Democratic members of Congress you've never ever heard of.

Democrats, Congressman Kevin Mullin of California and Congresswoman Brittany Pettersen of Colorado.

Congressman Mullin had knee surgery that didn't go well, two surgeries, a life threatening blood clot and a week long stay in the hospital, and the moment he was discharged from the hospital he got on a five hour flight to DC to vote against the Republicans evil budget, using a walker to get to the floor of the House

Congresswoman Pettersen gave birth to her son Sam, in the picture, exactly one month ago on January 25th. They flew from Colorado to DC after Republicans refused to allow her to vote by proxy after having a baby. Congresswoman Pettersen took Sam onto the floor of the House to vote to protect the Health care of 400,000 Colorado kids.

why talk about this? because so much of the conversion is about telling people there's no one good, no one worthy, no one fighting. I promise you there are people undergoing personal hardship to do the right thing.

beginning to suspect that if I ever want to have a published novel I will have to actually write a novel, which is frankly ghoulish

Hey, just in case you have trouble with false equivalency between Antifa and Fascists. Someone made this handy chart to help you with your stupid bullshit!

General knowledge for all.

Simple civil disobedience can be all it takes to inspire others to do the same.

dear usamerican high schoolers looking for a way to resist fascism: sit through the pledge of allegiance.

no getting up. no looking at the flag.

everyone will be looking at you. you'll be sweating like a fucking hippopotamus. your teacher will sternly tell you to get up. you'll feel stupid and that maybe its not worth it because you're just a kid in a classroom. but I'm here to remind you that there are no real life consequences to detention. there are however real life consequences to resisting a thoughtless performance of nationalism.

The only good NAZI is a dea…well, you remember the rest. 😉

That’s why any and every son-of-a-bitch we find wearin’ a Nazi uniform, they’re gonna die.

Politicians without empathy are identifying with billionaires over We The People.

The Class War is built on this moral disconnect.

MAGA thinks Nazis are good people and want every Confederate image/statue restored.

You can't take anything they say seriously.
